Based on the report of Manila Bulleting, the Manila Mayor specifically mentioned Chinese businessmen at 168 Shopping Mall who have not adequately compensated their Filipino employees.

“Don’t abuse, pay the necessary salary, don’t cheat our fellow Filipino with the standard salary. If you are chaotic in your country, if you are chaos there, do not bring it here,” Mayor Isko said to Chinese businessmen in Divisoria.

He warned foreign entrepreneurs to stop doing business in Manila if they cannot pay the Filipino workers a fair wage.

“Banyaga na kayo nakakapagtinda kayo rito, ayoko ng aapihin ninyo ang mga Pilipino pagdating sa suweldo nila. Don’t do business here if you don’t pay salary. I think it’s not fair,” said Isko.

Mayor Isko said foreign businessmen can freely sell their goods in the nation’s capital once they comply with his orders especially in implementing proper payment of wages to workers.

Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) Commissioner Greco Belgica also conducted an inspection in Divisoria malls to check their business permits.
