Eastern Visayas wage board raises daily pay by P35

THE Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board of the Eastern Visayas raised the daily wage by P35 for both minimum wage earners and domestic workers starting Dec. 8.

The Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) said the increases are detailed in Wage Order Nos. RB VIII-25 and RB VIII-DW-06, which were reviewed and affirmed by the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) on Nov. 18. The orders cover an estimated 114,126 minimum wage earners and 57,081 domestic workers in the region.

“Minimum wage earners in all sectors will see daily increases of P35,” DoLE said in a statement.

After the wage hike takes effect, the minimum wage will rise to P440 per day for workers in agriculture, cottage and handicraft industries, and retail/service establishments with 10 employees or less — equivalent to P11,477 per month.

For non-agriculture jobs and retail/service establishments with 11 or more employees, daily pay will increase to P470, or P12,259 per month.

DoLE said roughly 162,501 full-time workers earning above the minimum wage are also expected to benefit indirectly when employers address wage distortions created by the narrowing or disappearance of pay differentials within the company’s ranks.

Domestic workers, or kasambahays, were also granted monthly increases, with those in chartered cities and first-class municipalities receiving P400, and those in other municipalities getting P300. This brings the occupation group’s monthly minimum wage to P6,400 and P5,800, respectively.

Retail and service establishments employing 10 workers or less, as well as businesses affected by disasters, natural or otherwise, may apply for exemption from the wage increase until Feb. 5, 2026.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
