OFWs in Taiwan getting pay hike

MANILA, Philippines — Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Taiwan will get an increase in their monthly minimum wage, the Department of Migrant Workers announced yesterday.

DMW Secretary Hans Cacdac said thousands of OFWs in Taiwan would receive higher salaries starting January 2026.

The government of Taiwan has approved a monthly minimum wage of NT$29,500 and NT$196 per hour, Cacdac said.

“This is a victory for all workers in Taiwan, including OFWs and their families,” Cacdac said.
