How to read these figures
The Philippines does not set one national minimum wage. Under the Wage Rationalization Act, each of the 17 regions has its own Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board, and each board issues its own wage order. That is why the rate in Metro Manila and the rate in a neighbouring region can differ, and why a single “Philippine minimum wage” figure does not exist.
Samirla reproduces the National Wages and Productivity Commission's own summary table. Each figure is stored exactly as NWPC published it, together with the label printed beside it, the wage order number and the effectivity date. Nothing on these pages is computed, averaged or adjusted.
Where a region publishes a range rather than one rate, both ends are shown. A range usually means the wage order sets different floors within the region — by province, by industry, or by establishment size, for example a lower rate for retail and service establishments employing a small number of workers. The label beside the range names the distinction NWPC printed.
Where the agriculture column is blank, NWPC published no separate agriculture rate for that region and the non-agriculture rate applies to agricultural workers as well. Samirla shows that as “no separate agriculture rate published — the non-agriculture rate applies” rather than copying a number across, because the two are not the same statement.
