THE Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) has approved a minimum wage increase of P35 for private sector workers, effective Dec. 30.

This brings the region’s minimum wage to P505 from the initial P470, according to Wage Order No. CAR-24 shared by the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) on its Facebook page.

Under the new wage order, the daily minimum wage applies to all private sector workers in the region, regardless of their position, designation, or method of wage payment. The rate is based on a standard eight-hour workday.

The wage adjustment follows a review of socio-economic conditions in the region, including the Gross Regional Domestic Product growth of 4.8% for 2023-2024, average inflation rate of 2.41% from December 2024 to October 2025, and the latest poverty threshold is in the amount of P435 per day based on Philippine Statistics Authority data.

The RTWPB also issued Wage Order No. CAR-DW-07, increasing the minimum wage rate for kasambahays, or domestic workers in the region by P600 to P6,600.

The NWPC said on its Facebook page that both wage orders will take effect on Dec. 30.

The new wage covers all domestic workers, whether live-in or live-out, including general house help, yayas, cooks, gardeners, and laundry personnel.

“Household employers and their domestic workers may voluntary and mutually agree to adopt a competency-based pay scheme in setting and adjusting the pay of domestic workers over and above the applicable minimum wage,” the order added.

As of early December, Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan or Mimaropa (Region IV-B), Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX), Northern Mindanao (Region X), and Caraga (Region XIII) remain the only areas yet to implement new wage adjustments for the 2025 cycle. — Erika Mae P. Sinaking

‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure

The post ‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A “combo” ETF  Crypto ETF trailblazer  Digital Currency Group founder Barry Silbert has reacted to the approval of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund  (GDLC), the very first multi-crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF), describing it as “groundbreaking.”  “Grayscale continues to be the first mover, driving new product innovations that bridge tradfi and digital assets,” Silbert said while commenting on the news.  Peter Mintzberg, chief executive officer at Graysacle, claims that the team behind the world’s leading cryptocurrency asset manager is working “expeditiously” in order to bring the product to the market.  A “combo” ETF  The ETF in question offers exposure to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), as well as several other major altcoins, including the Ripple-linked XRP token, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). XRP, for instance, has a 5.2% share of the fund, making it the third-largest constituent.  The fund initially debuted as a private placement for accredited investors back in early 2018, and its shares later became available on over-the-counter (OTC) markets.  In early July, the SEC approved the conversion of GDLC into an ETF, but it was then abruptly halted for a “review” shortly after this.  As of Sept. 17, the fund currently has a total of $915.6 million in assets.  Crypto ETF trailblazer  It is worth noting that Grayscale is usually credited with kickstarting the cryptocurrency ETF craze by winning its court case against the SEC.  The SEC ended up approving Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 and then followed up with Ethereum ETFs.  Grayscale’s flagship GBTC currently boasts more than $20.5 billion in net assets, according to data provided by SoSoValue.  Source: https://u.today/groundbreaking-barry-silbert-reacts-to-approval-of-etf-with-xrp-exposure
