During the period starting 20 February 2024, media began a barrage of opinion-sourcing regarding how the different sectors felt about the proposed legislated daily wage increases by the Upper House and the Lower House of Congress. PAGASA's STC suggested a one-time bonus for wage earners instead of a permanent increase in wages or to increase wages in installments to alleviate the plight of wage earners but at the same time, ease off the cashflow predicament of industries and establishments.

PRA Pres. Roberto Claudio opposed the wage increases as proposed by legislators. He carries the same opinion as PCCI and that of PAGASA that wages should be determined by the Regional Wage Boards.
