Region IV-A - CALABARZON Minimum Wage 2026
Wage Order No. IVA-22 sets daily minimum wages across CALABARZON's five provinces (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) using six area groupings, from the Extended Metropolitan Area and component cities down to second-to-fifth class municipalities. Non-agriculture rates run ₱525–₱600/day, agriculture ₱508–₱525, and retail/service establishments employing not more than 10 workers pay a uniform ₱508 region-wide. The order was implemented in two tranches and the second and final tranche took effect 1 April 2026, so all rates are fully in force. Daily minimum wage rates, monthly equivalents, full benefits breakdown, and net take-home pay.
