The Salary Rate
in Boracay and in the province of Aklan has been a hot topic recently.
The Regional
Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) VI of the Department of Labor
and Employment (DOLE) conducted a public consultation on Wage Issues.
The program was
held at a Resort’s convention center in Station 3, Boracay yesterday.
Present were
employees and management groups of different hotels and establishments in
Boracay and the province of Aklan.
Two groups were
formed, one for employees and another for those in the management sector.
Each was given
an opportunity to raise their concerns to the members of the RTWPB through
their spokespersons.
According to
CESO III - RTWPB VI Regional Director Ponciano Ligutom, if the employees wanted
a wage increase, they must carefully think and decide on the exact amount of
the increase, if approved.
Meanwhile, an
RTWPB member said that the discussion during yesterday’s Wage Issues
consultation will be brought up to a Board Hearing as this is not an easy
subject and reasonable basis are required to prove the need for a salary
increase particularly in the island of Boracay.
