What sport is popular in Philippines? Philippines BUSINESS chambers in the Visayas have teamed up to express their strong opposition to the legislated and across-the-board wage hike. In a joint position paper signed by the heads of 22 local chambers across three regions — namely, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Western Visayas, PCCI Central Visayas, and PCCI Eastern Visayas, collectively known as One Visayas, the business groups expressed their unified stance against the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 2534, also known as the P100 Daily Minimum Wage Increase Act of 2023.“We believe that the proposed legislated increase infringes the mandated role of the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board to determine minimum wage increases and is excessive, oppressive and confiscatory and it will “do more harm than good” to informal workers -- from farmers to vendors to gig workers -- and micro and small-sized enterprises which make up 95 percent of all enterprises in the country,” the group said. The position paper was signed on Feb. 16, 2024, and was sent to the Senate and the House of Representatives. According to Melanie Ng, area vice president for PCCI Visayas, they’ve submitted to each representative in the Visayas a copy of their position paper and they’ve started talking to them one by one. “This appeal is made with utmost intention towards a balanced approach that considers the needs of both workers and businesses to maintain a healthy and sustainable economy not just in Visayas but of the country,” the business groups said. SB 2534 was approved on third and final reading by the Senate on Feb. 19, with 20 affirmative votes and no negative votes or abstentions.Co-author and co-sponsor Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go, in a speech explaining his affirmative vote, underscored the measure’s primary objective, which is to provide Filipino workers with a living wage that not only meets their basic needs but also safeguards them from the grips of poverty.The House of Representatives has yet to pass a counterpart bill on the legislated wage hike. A bill becomes a law in the Philippines when it is approved by both houses of Congress and the President.The Visayas business groups said they are “adopting the recommendations stated in the joint position paper of the major business groups led by the PCCI to adopt a ‘more comprehensive approach’ in addressing economic inequality instead of focusing solely on wage increases.”The Manila-based business groups also wrote to the Senate on Feb. 14 expressing their opposition to the P100 wage hike. “While we recognize the importance of ensuring that workers receive fair compensation for their labor, however, we also put into consideration the challenges that businesses face in the economic environment,” the joint position paper reads. Instead of the across-the-board wage hike, the business groups in the Visayas recommends that the government should prioritize expanding economic activities and attracting investments to complement labor and local productivity. This can be achieved through innovative investment promotion strategies and efforts to enhance the ease of doing business nationwide. “By attracting both foreign and local direct investments, we can generate more job opportunities and stimulate economic growth that is inclusive,” they said. They also suggest that the government must proactively address inflationary pressures, particularly regarding the prices of basic goods and services, high utility costs (especially power and water), fuel prices and the importation of goods. It is also crucial to boost the agricultural value chain and develop new agri-aqua technologies to improve productivity and reduce dependency on imports. Additionally, the government can enact safety nets to protect labor from exploitation and ensure fair wages.The business groups added that an industry-driven wage hike is more realistic.“The government should consider creating a regional industry wage board that will consider the economic situation of each company, large, medium or small, and the wherewithal and resources in line with respective performance. Or support a Collective Bargaining Agreement type of solution per sector,” they said. Earlier, Nagkaisa, a coalition of labor centers, federations and national unions, said the Senate’s move is a “good starting point” in reforming the mechanism governing wage determination in the country. / KOC

EXPECTED to provide better opportunity for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), the Philippines has inked the second protocol to the Asean-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA).President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. made the announcement during the leaders’ plenary at the Asean-Australia Special Summit in Melbourne on Wednesday, March 6, 2024.Marcos expressed confidence that the pact will continue to be responsive to the evolving multidimensional challenges in the business environment and complement region-to-region efforts to strengthen supply chain resilience, the expansion of trade and investment, inclusivity and sustainable development.“The Protocol will indeed benefit micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) inasmuch as it facilitates their participation in international trade by improving their access to markets and participation in the global value chains, as well as promoting the use of e-commerce,” he said.“With the momentum from the CEO Forum yesterday, and AANZFTA together with the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Agreement, we are confident that we will usher in even more robust economic cooperation within our region and provide a legal framework for a more prosperous future,” he added.The AANZFTA is a comprehensive and single-undertaking free trade agreement that uncovers and creates new opportunities for approximately 663 million individuals in Asean, Australia and New Zealand, which has a combined Gross Domestic Product of approximately $4 trillion as of 2016.It aims for a sustainable economic growth in the region by providing a more liberal, facilitative and transparent market and investment regimes among the twelve signatories to the agreement such which also includes Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao DPR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam.Through the AANZFTA, tariffs will be progressively reduced from entry into force of the agreement, and eliminated for at least 90 percent of all tariff lines within specified timelines; movement of goods will be facilitated via a more modern and flexible rules of origin, simplified customs procedures, and more transparent mechanisms; and barriers to trade in services will be progressively liberalized allowing for greater market access to service suppliers in the region.The movement of business persons, those engaged in trade and investment activities, will be facilitated under the agreement; and covered investments will be accorded a range of protection, including the possibility of dealing with disputes via an investor-state dispute settlement mechanism.Meanwhile, Marcos welcomed Australia’s Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040, an elaborate plan aiming to broaden and deepen the economic ties between Asean and Australia.He said the Philippines is looking forward to expanding the collaboration on agriculture and food security, digital economy, infrastructure, tourism and healthcare, which are key to achieving a strongly rooted, comfortable, and secure future for Filipinos and Asean citizens.“Through these 50 years, Australia has proven, time and again, its support for Asean as it continues its positive role in ensuring peace and stability in our region and our immediate neighborhood, now referred to as the Indo-Pacific,” said Marcos.“In Asean, Australia has consistently supported all Asean-led mechanisms through these 50 years. We appreciate the evolution of Australia’s strategic approach towards the region from the mere confines of the Asia-Pacific to our now wider common interests in the Indo-Pacific,” he added.He encouraged Australia to continue its active engagement both bilaterally and through Asean to ensure the primacy of peace and stability through confidence building, preventive diplomacy, and conflict resolution in the region.The chief executive also highlighted the country’s efforts in taking “bold and decisive actions” both domestically and in the international fora for climate change as it remains vulnerable to the harsh effects of climate change.Marcos reiterated the offer to host the Board of the Loss and Damage Fund for climate change noting that it would showcase its global commitment to inclusivity, ensuring that the voices and experiences of the most affected countries are heard and considered in shaping the most urgent of global climate policies.“In the Philippines, we have taken concrete actions by implementing policies and initiatives to reduce emissions by catalyzing investments in our rich sources of renewable energy,” he said.
