FAQ #1: Why is BIEN calling for a ₱36,000 National Entry-Level Wage?
Because the current wages in the BPO industry are no longer enough to live on.
Every payday, workers watch their salaries disappear into rent, transportation, food, utilities, debt, and family expenses. Meanwhile, the BPO industry continues to post record revenues and is now one of the country's biggest sources of foreign exchange.
BPO workers generate billions in profits for global companies. We keep banks running, airlines flying, hospitals operating, online stores selling, and AI systems functioning. Yet many workers still struggle to afford basic needs.
The ₱36,000 National Entry-Level Wage is about making sure every BPO worker can live with dignity, not just survive until the next payday. It also raises the wage floor across the industry so that everyone benefits, not just new hires.
