Labor leaders yesterday said they hope that Labor Regional Director Ponciano Ligutom will announce the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board decision on a pending wage hike petition today.

Ligutom is expected at a RTWPB meeting at Tingting’s Restaurant this morning in Bacolod City, RFTWPB labor representative Hernani Braza said.

The wage board has reportedly already agreed on a minimal wage hike but the labor leaders said they did not know why Ligutom is holding back on announcing it.*CPG
