FOUR Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards (RTWPB) have scheduled public consultations this month to discuss possible adjustments in salaries for minimum wage earners and domestic helpers.

Regions II (Cagayan Valley), III (Central Luzon), VII (Central Visayas) and XII (Soccsksargen) will conduct consultations with stakeholders, the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) said.

"The process started this month," Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma said over the weekend.

On August 8, RTWPB-Calabarzon held its public consultation in Dasmariñas City, Cavite. The last wage adjustment in the region took effect on Sept. 24, 2023.

Laguesma said more public consultations will be held from September until January 2025.

Regions I (Ilocos Region), VI (Western Visayas) and IX (Zamboanga Peninsula) will begin their reviews in September.

The Cordillera Autonomous Region, Mimaropa, Bicol and Eastern Visayas will have their turn in October.

The public consultations for Northern Mindanao and Caraga will be in November, while the Davao Region will start in January, Laguesma said.
