Small businesses brace for wage hike in NCR
ShareShareShareShareShare
A VENDOR assists customers at a store in Divisoria, Manila, May 30. The daily minimum wage in Metro Manila is set to go up by P60 on July 25, and by P25 on Jan. 20, 2027. — PHILIPPINE STAR/NOEL B. PABALATE

As Metro Manila’s higher minimum wage takes effect on July 25, however, the owner of the 87-year-old bakery says preserving that balance between fair pay for workers and affordable prices for customers is becoming even more difficult.
