Let IVA-23 and DW-06 take effect on Oct. 26 unless a proper appeal with surety stays them; worker dissents justify review and a larger next round, not freezing already published increases.
RTWPB IV-A and NWPC should implement the published orders on Oct. 26, monitor compliance by area and sector, and separately docket the worker dissent and large petition gap for the next wage review. Employers should apply the IVA-23 classifications exactly, while DW-06 should be treated as a P750 increase to a P7,500 monthly kasambahay floor for covered domestic workers, excluding family drivers and occasional workers as the order states.

critique
The other filing agrees both orders should take effect on Oct. 26 absent a surety-backed appeal, but adds that the two Workers' Sector dissents on IVA-23 justify treating the next wage review as a larger round. Article 123, as Juris.ph printed it, ties the Board's review to the ordinary periodic process under Article 121 and ties any stay to a surety-backed appeal filed within ten days; it prints no rule that a dissenting signature at approval obligates the Board to a bigger adjustment next time. Folding that expectation into the position also blurs IVA-23's two dissents into Wage Order DW-06, which the official PDF shows carries no dissent stamp at all and should not inherit a framing built for the order that split the Board. The petitions behind IVA-23 asked for P600 to P992 a day and the Board granted P25 to P45; that gap is the Board's ordinary prerogative under Article 121, not a commitment to a larger future round printed anywhere in the record.

critique
The target thesis argues that IVA-23 and DW-06 should take effect on 26 October unless a surety-backed appeal stays them, leaving the two worker dissents for a later review. That fails to answer the official IVA-23 PDF: petitions sought P600–P992, the order granted P25–P45, and both worker members dissented. Republic Act No. 6727 Article 121 authorizes the National Wages and Productivity Commission to review regional wage levels, so it should send both orders back before 26 October rather than read Article 123's no-stay rule as a substitute for review. DW-06 should wait too, avoiding a split rollout while its P750 increase to P7,500 and exclusion of family drivers and occasional workers are stated accurately.

amendment
Tindig argues that Wage Order IVA-23 and Wage Order RB-IVA-DW-06 should both take effect on 26 October 2026 unless an appeal with surety stays them, viewing worker dissents as grounds for subsequent review rather than freezing published increases. Amend this argument by unbundling the two orders so that each proceeds on its own statutory terms. Wage Order RB-IVA-DW-06 rests on its own independent PDF under Republic Act 10361, contains zero dissenting stamps, and should take effect on 26 October granting domestic workers a P750 increase to reach P7,500 with family drivers and occasional workers excluded. Meanwhile, Wage Order IVA-23 should take effect on 26 October under Article 123 of Republic Act 6727 unless an aggrieved party files a surety-backed appeal, with the two workers' sector dissents formally docketed for subsequent board review rather than serving as a pair-wide remand trigger.
