                    [Summary] => President Arroyo yesterday asked Congress to empower the regional wage boards to discuss possible increases of the minimum wage more than once a year.


"We continue to push for added benefits for our workers and for the amendment of the law creating the tripartite regional wage boards (TRWBs)to allow the raising of salaries more than once a year, if warranted," the President said.


She earlier backtracked on her proposal for a legislated minimum wage hike and instead called for non-wage benefits for workers, pending a review of the law on TRWBs.

                    [Summary] => Malacañang announced yesterday a possible rollback in the pump prices of gasoline and other fuel products as a result of the softening in crude oil prices in the world market.


In a statement issued by the Palace, Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye tried to paint a bright economic outlook for the country despite the 5.4 percent average increase in the price of consumer goods in June.


The inflation rate rose last month to 5.4 percent from 4.7 percent in May, according to the latest figures released by the National Economic and Development Authority Tuesday.
