The recent minimum wage hike of P35 a day that would raise the minimum daily rate to P645 has drawn condemnation from virtually all sectors.
This act was also unexpected because the Senate, under then Senate president Zubiri, had approved a P100 daily wage increase.
My personal question is, who derailed the original proposed increases of both the Senate and the House of Representatives? A living wage is what one worker and his/her family must earn on a daily basis to help cover the cost of their family’s basic needs. Today, families of individuals working in minimum wage jobs are making too little income to meet minimum standards of living.
Hopefully, the public will be able to identify these heartless people so we can find out how much they are earning. We should challenge these people to try living on the daily wage of P645 that they have lobbied for. The book is a collection of essays divided into five chapters: Hearing the Voices of the Homeless; Encountering Particular Populations; Global and Ecclesial Strategies; Theological-Ethical Foundations; Local Responses.
