A city councilor expressed fears that the government's "supermain" program, aimed at upgrading the skills of Filipinos interested to work as domestic helpers, might just exacerbate the definition given to Filipinos as "household servants".


Councilor Edgardo Labella, chairman of the committee on laws, said "the knee-jerk effort to transform our beleaguered OFWs into 'supermaids' seems to remind us of the humiliating effect spurred by a certain western dictionary not too long ago when the same, wittingly or unwittingly, defined a Filipino as a household servant.
