What this value means
MATRIX jurisdiction - no single national minimum wage. Under RA 6727 (Wage Rationalization Act, 1989), Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards set daily floors per region and sector (non-agriculture / agriculture / retail-service by headcount), coordinated by NWPC-DOLE. Served value = lowest general non-agriculture daily floor: P411.00/day under W.O. BARMM-05 (+P50 in two tranches; +P25 on effectivity 6 Aug 2026), covering Maguindanao del Norte and del Sur, Lanao del Sur (except Marawi City), Basilan (except Lamitan City), Tawi-Tawi and the Special Geographic Area; Cotabato City, Lamitan City and Marawi City are P436; BARMM agriculture floors run P401-411. SCHEDULED SECOND TRANCHE: +P25 on 1 December 2026 lifts the low band to P436, which REMAINS the national floor (next-lowest non-agri: Region IX P439, Region XII P450, CARAGA P455) - roll this series on that date. NCR top of the matrix: P755 under W.O. NCR-27, rising to P780 on 20 Jan 2027. Domestic workers have separate monthly Kasambahay floors (e.g., W.O. BARMM-DW-02: P5,500/month from 8 Jan 2026). ACCESS: NWPC publishes the matrix as a PDF-only summary with a dated filename (Summary-of-Current-Regl-MWRs-Non-Agri-and-Agri-by-Region-<Month>-<D>_<YYYY>.pdf under /wp-content/uploads/<YYYY>/<MM>/). The stat-and-info 'current-real-minimum-wage-rates' page does NOT link the live summary (its churn is minify-cache timestamps); the live PDF is embedded on /summary-of-current-regional-daily-minimum-wage-rates-non-agriculture-agriculture-and-other-wage-categories/ in a pdfemb-viewer anchor. Superseded dated PDFs stay live at their URLs indefinitely, so a 200 on a stored citation URL proves nothing about currency - always re-read the summary page for the newest filename. RE-CHECKED 2026-10-10: NWPC 'Latest Wage Orders Matrix 2026-2027 as of 28 September 2026' lists no BARMM order after BARMM-05; the two newer orders (NCR-28, issued 7 Sep 2026; ROVII-27, issued 14 Sep 2026, effective 14 Oct 2026, +P42 to P542-582) only raise floors far above P411, so the lowest non-agriculture floor is still P411 (BARMM-05, effective 6 Aug 2026), as the cited NWPC summary of 5 Aug 2026 states (row BARMM-05: 411-436).
