The wage increase for 2026 depends on the country or region, but the result you most likely mean is Metro Manila: the daily minimum wage is rising by P85 , from P695 to P780 , with P60 effective July 19, 2026 and the remaining P25 in January 2027. That increase is described as the largest wage hike ever approved by the NCR wage board.

Quick Scoop

  • Metro Manila workers: P85 per day increase total.
  • New daily minimum wage: P695 to P780.
  • Smaller employers in certain sectors: P658 to P743.
  • Rollout: P60 on July 19, 2026 , then P25 in January 2027.
  • Around 1.1 million daily earners are expected to benefit.

Context

This is the clearest 2026 wage-increase headline tied to the query, but other places also have 2026 wage changes. For example, Australia’s minimum wage rises by 4.75% from 1 July 2026 , and the UK’s National Living Wage rises to £12.71 from April 2026.

Bottom line

If you meant Metro Manila , the answer is P85 a day. If you meant another country or city, the amount will be different.
