Podcast by RENS CRUZ II
LAST year, the Department of Labor and Employment approved a P20 cost of living allowance (COLA) increase for minimum wage earners in Metro Manila.
The increase, complained labor groups and unions, wasn’t what they had lobbied for. It isn’t enough, they said.
What, indeed, can Juan de la Cruz buy with P20?
Ren Cruz II asks this question in this light, featurized vox pop podcast in Filipino.
(The podcast was produced by Rens Cruz II, a senior journalism student at the University of the Philippines-Diliman, for his J196 seminar class under VERA Files trustee Yvonne T. Chua.)
