Meanwhile in Philippines, the minimum wage runs around almost $10 or maybe less and those who sit in the government think this is enough considering the price inflation. Not to mention there are still people who get paid lower than the minimum wage. Imagine how these people find ways to earn money just to serve food at their family's table. The government is mostly in favor of companies and investors since they are scared that this might cause them to back out and will leave lesser job opportunities.
Thats how inflation have turned people into wanting any job as long as they can afford to put food on the table. But seems the government has been blinded by it, believing as long as people get job, they can never be fully dependent anymore from the assistance of the government. Well, that may be true, but my only hope is that the government too will show more support to the needs of the workers rather than favoring the side of these businesses owners who are mostly not Filipino citizens, but foreigners.
