2023年11月15日 小马科斯政府提出了至少八项经济法案来增加未来五年的政府额外收入。有六项提案涉及征收额外的税，其中四项将直接影响菲律宾老百姓。另外两项涉及对垃圾食品和饮料的征税。 有两项提议的计划将对服务额外征税——机动车道路使用税和数字服务增值税。另一批税收政策将对一次性塑料和碳制品征收消费税。这些提案也是于前杜特尔特政权期间在当时的菲律宾中央银行以及现任财政部部长本杰明·迪奥克诺（Benjamin Diokno）的领导下推动的。 如果提案通过，其中四项将于2024年生效，并且将在2023年产生高达3.7万亿菲律宾比索、在2028年产生高达6.6万亿菲律宾比索的收入，所有这些收入都将来自消费者和工人——他们正在遭受创纪录的低工资以及基本商品方面的通胀压力。尽管通货膨胀率已从9月份的6.1%降至10月的4.9%，工人工资仍低于贫困线水平，而大企业继续从工人那里榨取更多利润，同时小马科斯政府拒绝提高全国最低工资，。 食品价格仍保持高位，尽管小马科斯已宣布“控制大米价格”。包括胡萝卜、土豆、卷心菜和大蒜在内的蔬菜价格仍在上涨。总体上，食品通胀率目前为7.1%，同时大米价格已飙升13.2%。 根据IBON基金会的调查，国家首都区的实际日工资仅为504菲律宾比索（8.99美元）。截至10月，一个五口之家每天需要至少1189菲律宾比索（21美元）才能生存，而这是最低日工资的两倍多。这合计每个月平均要花25850菲律宾比索（461美元）才能过上体面生活。 根据IBON基金会的调查，其它地区需要更高的工资维生。根据IBON基金会，较高的数字是由于其它省份更高的通货膨胀率——包括棉兰老穆斯林邦萨摩洛自治区（BARMM），当地一个五口之家每天需要2013菲律宾比索（36美元）来维持生存，远远高于该地区的最低日工资341菲律宾比索（6美元）。
