Raffy Tulfo has reacted on the striking post of Kapamilya actress Janella Salvador on Instagram regarding the PA issue.

Recently, former personal assistant of actress Janella Salvador, Michelle Pelongco is went to complain in Raffy Tulfo’s program Raffy Tulfo In Action for her being unpaid. According to Pelongco, the actress firmly refused to pay the said unpaid amount which is why the host, Raffy Tulfo, paid more than what the PA has claimed for the actress to have not paid.

In Salvador’s official statement about this issue, she said that rather give the “small amount” to someone who is more deserving. She also challenged Pelongco to sue her if that is what she wants. The actress’ post implied that her former PA is just desperate to get money from her through her twisted stories.

And now, posting an article about the minimum wage of “kasambahays” which took effect on January 2020, the young actress seemingly implied that she’s actually compensating her more than what was stated in the law. Accordingly, the salary of a house helper, from Php 3,500.00 will climb to Php 5,000.00.

Moreover, regarding on the update of the issue, Tulfo called the Pelongco and clarified if she’s a PA or a house helper, Pelongco confirmed that she’s the actress’ personal assistant before.

Reaching out to Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Undersecretary, Atty. Anne Dione, the official gave light that about the salary of a personal assistant being different to that of a house helper.

Accordingly, a personal assistant must receive a minimum wage which is at Php 537.00 in a day with benefits and the 13th month pay. This is because they have different working conditions. Also, in the non-disclosure agreement signed by the PA, it was clearly stated in there that she is indeed working as a personal assistant of the actress.
