  "_disclosure": "PRIMARY-VIA-NAMED-SECONDARY. Each figure is a signed RTWPB \"DW\" wage order, but the NWPC region pages and PNA/DOLE releases return HTTP 403 to automated retrieval (checked 2026-09-04), so the amounts are carried by named primary reporting corroborating each order rather than read live off the issuer's own page (NCR-DW-06 additionally has a public NWPC PDF). Confidence is high: two or more independent named outlets agree on each order number, amount and effective date.",

    "The 2025–2026 orders collapsed the old chartered-city vs other-municipality tiers into a single region-wide rate; the pre-order tiered figures are shown only as previous_monthly_min_php context.",

    "The cash minimum is the floor — it excludes the mandatory employer SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG contributions and 13th-month pay that the Kasambahay true-cost tool adds on top."
