𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 | DOLE: Indicative wage review cycle starts in May 2026

Following the completion of the 2025-2026 minimum wage review cycle, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) are preparing for the next round of wage review cycle beginning May 2026 in the National Capital Region.

Concerns related to the Middle East situation, its effects on prices of basic commodities and its impact on wages, shall be taken into consideration during the next minimum wage review cycle, consistent with the rules on minimum wage review process. The NWPC and RTWPBs are also closely monitoring the socioeconomic conditions in their respective regions.

This follows the standing directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for a timely review of regional minimum wage rates to reduce economic uncertainty and foster a stronger link between productivity and fair pay, ensuring that wage growth remains balanced with business viability.
