The contemporary issue facing the Filipino entrepreneurs about minimum wage only involves the need

to have a compromise between the employers and workers. PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE mentioned
in a statement in one of his speech the need to have a universal minimum wage for all employees in the
country. At the moment, wages are different depending on where you are situated. If you are employed
in Manila, you are generally paid more than those working in the province.

Another issue is the government’s desire to get rid of contractual workers. This is view by the president
as being unfair to the workers because of the lack of security. But this is debatable since it is seen as
placing all the burden on the shoulders of the employer. And with all the permits, regulations, taxes and
other headaches that come with dealing with government agencies and their greedy hands,
entrepreneurs would have to take steps to cover additional costs.

The true problem is that the government does not really care about the people, sure they can appear as
pro common people since they know that the masses will buy it as they always do. In reality, the
government is only concerned with how much it could collect in the form of fees and fines. It is always
the bottom line that counts.
