                    [Summary] => 



Filipino housemaids working abroad have appealed to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to stop the implementation of the Malacañang order requiring their employers to pay them a minimum of $400 a month.


At least 1,000 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) picketed the DOLE office in Intramuros to protest the new government policy.


They complained that some foreign maids accept salaries as low as $150 a month and nobody will hire Filipino domestics for a salary of $400.

Filipino housemaids working abroad have appealed to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to stop the implementation of the Malacañang order requiring their employers to pay them a minimum of $400 a month.


At least 1,000 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) picketed the DOLE office in Intramuros to protest the new government policy.


They complained that some foreign maids accept salaries as low as $150 a month and nobody will hire Filipino domestics for a salary of $400.
