Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposals are intended to ease the impact of inflation and rising private-sector wages, as regional inflation reached 6.7 percent in August. The city is addressing the reduced purchasing power of job order workers, whose pay should reflect the minimum wage of P540 a day for non-agricultural workers in the Davao Region.
