PRIVATE sector workers in the Western Visayas region can expect a P33 to P40 increase in their daily minimum wage starting next month. In an advisory released by the Department of Labor and Employment on Tuesday, the new minimum pay for workers in non-agricultural establishments employing more than 10 workers will increase by P33, bringing their salary from P480 to P513.
