Daily minimum wages run from ₱401 to ₱755, set region by region. Rates as listed by the National Wages and Productivity Commission, checked 2 November 2026.

Metro Manila and the court case
This page lists rates in force and scheduled steps that are not in dispute. The commission's page also shows a further NCR-27 step, which is under litigation, so we do not list it. Negros Island Region has no separate wage order on the commission's page: Negros Occidental stays under Region VI, Negros Oriental and Siquijor under Region VII.
