MANILA, Philippines - Malacañang is not planning to move the Labor Day celebrations to another day.

Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said May 1, which falls on a Sunday, is the regular holiday for Labor Day.

Also this morning, Lacierda said President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III will announce some “good news” on Labor Day.

He said a wage hike is "one of the options being considered," but it would already be up to the regional tripartite wage boards to determine the appropriate salary increase.

The Department of Labor and Employment said wage petitions will be tackled by the wage board in the National Capital Region on May 2. Any adjustment may be announced on May 15. – Report from Willard Cheng, ABS-CBN News
