Eastern Visayas wage board raises daily pay by P35

THE Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board of the Eastern Visayas raised the daily wage by P35 for both minimum wage earners and domestic workers starting Dec. 8.

The Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) said the increases are detailed in Wage Order Nos. RB VIII-25 and RB VIII-DW-06, which were reviewed and affirmed by the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) on Nov. 18. The orders cover an estimated 114,126 minimum wage earners and 57,081 domestic workers in the region.

“Minimum wage earners in all sectors will see daily increases of P35,” DoLE said in a statement.

After the wage hike takes effect, the minimum wage will rise to P440 per day for workers in agriculture, cottage and handicraft industries, and retail/service establishments with 10 employees or less — equivalent to P11,477 per month.

For non-agriculture jobs and retail/service establishments with 11 or more employees, daily pay will increase to P470, or P12,259 per month.

DoLE said roughly 162,501 full-time workers earning above the minimum wage are also expected to benefit indirectly when employers address wage distortions created by the narrowing or disappearance of pay differentials within the company’s ranks.

Domestic workers, or kasambahays, were also granted monthly increases, with those in chartered cities and first-class municipalities receiving P400, and those in other municipalities getting P300. This brings the occupation group’s monthly minimum wage to P6,400 and P5,800, respectively.

Retail and service establishments employing 10 workers or less, as well as businesses affected by disasters, natural or otherwise, may apply for exemption from the wage increase until Feb. 5, 2026.

Barangay Micro Business Enterprises with valid certificates from the Department of Trade and Industry remain exempt from minimum wage rules. — Erika Mae P. Sinaking

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
