I guess its normal on Facebook feeds to see Filipino's confessing their struggle with their domestic employers. We could see their unacceptable pain and agony on how they are being treated which is similar to slaves. Most of them are being bitten, raped, slapped, tortured and poured with hot boiling water. It's not enough that our embassy saved them but to exterminate jobs opportunities for domestic helpers.
I understand that the work it self is a decent job but I would like to enlarge everyone's thinking that it degrades us and we let our own brother and sister put in a box as if that is their only capabilities. Have you ever seen any Western Nationality work as domestic helper? If the answer is not, then why there is a huge asian country who work as one? The problem here is that, they are all victims that this work is the only opportunity for them to elevate their lives that by being slaves to another foreign family will provide enough money to create their lives sufficiently.
If the government and the community are effectively educating this people about many great length of opportunity other than being a domestic helper, I would definitely gonna guarantee that there would be no domestic helper being battered, there would be no victim's creating videos and showing how they're being devastated anf hopelessly asking for help.
We elevate our selves as a highest form of being and acknowledge that learning is infinite. Everyone has an options, if the government is very reluctant to let us put into this circumstances many people will still go abroad and make themselves slaves.
I hope the leaders on our country could be able to read this and not just argue that it will harm the economy. The people are the most important consideration a government should taken care of, there should be zero compromisation when it comes to its people's security.
