P2k Monthly Salary For Housewives Proposed by House of Representatives
The House of Representative proposed a new house bill aiming to provide P2,000 monthly salary for housewives taking care of family.
The housewives usually remain at home taking of children and performing household chores, which is obviously stressful.
Exhausted mothers also rely on the money given by their husbands that they budget until the next payday.
Recently, Albay Rep. Joel Sarte Salceda proposed the House Bill 8875 aiming to give a monthly salary for housewives.
The proposed house bill has been created to recognize the efforts and the hardships of the housewives.
11.2 million out of 12 million female Filipinos are unemployed and remain as housekeepers that do not have any salary.
The bill aims to give a monthly allowance of P2,000 for all the housemakers who only stay at home doing the households.
Salceda said that women with children below 12 years old under the line of poverty are entitled to receive monthly salary until their kids reach 12 years old based on the proposed bill.

Kon may ganoon luboslubosin nyo na, I P 10,000 nyo na lang, para lbuo.
How will the gov’t generate this salary to housekeepers? From taxes? Taxes from hardworking citizens who has to leave their babies to work and get paid for just enough to get by, even getting paid less than the actual expense because of increasing high price of commodities? Is it not also true that being a housewife can possibly be a choice?
This could also be just like encouraging women against birth/population control.
How will the Philippines, a third world country, overpopulated, provide for this?
