The government denied that it will reduce the minimum wage from $2 million in 2026 or demand the return of payments already received: "Don't be misled!"

The national government has formally denied plans to reduce the projected 2026 minimum wage of $2 million or to demand the reimbursement of payments already received by workers. Officials issued a strong public warning urging the public not to be misled by false information.

Clarifying the administration's official stance, authorities confirmed that the monthly minimum wage threshold of $2 million remains fully in effect for workers who receive transportation assistance. The statement directly counters rumors regarding wage rollbacks and retroactive payment demands.
