Beautification Aides Paid Above Manila Minimum Wage
Metro Manila Aides who clean streets and paint curbs in Manila earn 10 pesos a day, below the 12 to 14 peso range for regular workers. The program, started by Imelda Marcos, aims to display Manila as a clean, attractive city amid martial law. The aides number about 6,884 across four cities and 13 municipalities, costing the city roughly $12,000 daily in wages.
