April 25, 2021 THE Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) in Western Visayas will initiate action on wage determination by motu proprio, one of its members said.

Sancho said it must be recalled that in their last April 8 meeting, the two management representatives, Luis Estrella and Reynaldo Ambao, manifested their disapproval of the manifestation of the labor sector for a P20 to P25 per day Pandemic Emergency Relief Allowance (Pera) as an immediate economic relief amid the pandemic.
