Bishop Gerardo Alminaza, of the Diocese of San Carlos, has lamented the situation of Filipino workers, calling their situation “unjust” as inflation has eased recently but prices of goods remain high in the country.
In contrast, the Philippine Statistics Authority reported that as of 2021, the poverty threshold for a family of five, or the minimum monthly income that a family of five needs to meet basic food and non-food requirements, is 12,030 pesos . This, however, means that every family member must survive on 80 pesos a day.The constant increase in the price of goods has made it more difficult for Filipinos to get by as the real value of their wages has declined.
Aside from an insufficient minimum wage, the bishop said that some workers do not have benefits and security of tenure.
