  3. Why is the ALBP Administration so cruel to us? You can’t increase the minimum wage after so long nor ensure the wages for persons working in the public and private sector gets an increase but quick to tax the hell out of us not considering the cost of goods and services has gone sky high also. So the same pay more taxes?
