A group of 21 senators is pressing a Pasig City court to immediately lift a temporary restraining order (TRO) that halts the implementation of a P85 daily minimum wage increase in Metro Manila/NCR. Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri initiated the action and filed or sponsored Senate Resolution No. 577, seeking the court to allow the wage increase to proceed. The senators argue that the wage board’s decision should be respected and implemented, while also stating that they respect the court’s role. According to reports, Zubiri gathered support across party lines, with the resolution signed by all senators involved. The TRO was issued by the Regional Trial Court in Pasig City after the wage order granting the P85 increase—described as Wage Order No. NCR-27—was challenged. The resolution asks for the TRO’s immediate lifting so the wage hike can take effect despite the pending legal issue.
