Persistent high inflation that could still worsen strengthens the case for wage adjustments in the Philippines, an analyst said, as workers continue to face stagnant pay and rising living costs despite a modest easing in May, BusinessWorld reported.
The analyst noted that workers enduring stagnant real wages for years have seen their earnings worsen in recent months, underscoring the need for wage adjustments to keep pace with inflation.
The report highlights ongoing economic pressures on Filipino workers, with calls for policy action to address the gap between wages and the rising cost of living.
