Meanwhile,  Pangasinan Fifth District Representative Ramon V. Guico, III and Cagayan Third District Rep. Joseph Lara filed a bill that will revoke the Regional Tripartite Wage and Productivity Board (RTWPB) and instead replace it with a general minimum wage daily rate all over the country.
 Guico blamed the traffic congestion and the swelling numbers of informal settlers in the National Capital Region because of the superior minimum wage rate offered by companies there compared to the other regions in the country that have varied daily rates.
“Our countrymen are after the higher daily wage thus the influx of migration to the metropolis,” Guico said.
Because of the proposed bill on the equity of the wages, Guico explained that Filipino workers will feel they are given self- importance by the government because of their contribution to the national and local economies.
