Forter Puguon, regional head of the labor department, said workers who render full-day service will now get a COLA of P18.


Puguon said the board agreed to enforce a uniform regional wage since the prices of basic goods "are the same whether you are in Leyte or Samar." 


There are some two million workers in the region.
