2. Manila Yummy Restaurant (MYR) pays its receptionists PHP 500.00 a day. The receptionists contested the amount because the present minimum wage in the National Capital Region is PHP 645.00 for the non- agricultural sector. MYR countered that it is paying the receptionists a total of PHP 700.00 which is more than the required minimum wage. MYR explained that it provides the receptionists food and beverage worth PHP 200.00 per day in addition to the PHP 500.00 cash component of their wages. The food and beverage are given during lunch time to ensure that the receptionists will entertain guests instead of leaving their stations. Thus, the PHP 200.00 value of the food and beverage must be added to the PHP 500.00 cash component of their wage. May MYR lawfully add the value of the food and beverage as part of the wages of its receptionists? Explain.
