The House of Representatives has taken decisive action to advance the daily wage hike bill, reflecting our shared commitment to uplift the lives of Filipino workers. We have approved the measure on third reading and already submitted the names of our conferees to the Senate. We now respectfully await the Senate’s designation of their bicameral panel so that we may begin the crucial task of reconciling our versions of the bill.
This measure is the product of a democratic process that values dialogue and consensus. We recognize that our counterparts in the Senate have a different proposal, and we are ready to engage in constructive discussions to craft a unified version that is fair, balanced, and responsive to both labor and business sectors.
Whatever the decision may be, we remain confident that it will reflect a deep sense of responsibility and care for all Filipinos.
Our goal is to assist the administration in building a resilient and inclusive economy—one where no sector is left behind. The House stands ready to do its part, and we hope the Senate will act with the same urgency.
Let us continue working together as one team for the Filipino people.
