                    [Summary] => Full embassy assistance will be extended to Filipino domestic helpers who filed a case against the Hong Kong government for its imposition of a new wage policy that reduced their monthly wage from HK$3,670 to HK$3,270.


This was the order of President Arroyo to Philippine Consul General to Hong Kong Victoria Bataclan.


In behalf of more than 240,000 foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong, five Filipino maids filed before the Hong Kong High Court on Monday a legal case seeking to declare the territory’s new wage policy illegal and unconstitutional.

                    [Summary] => The ban on the deployment of Filipino domestic helpers to Hong Kong will be lifted soon even as the wage cut on the monthly take home pay of Hong Kong’s foreign maids takes effect today.


Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) chief Rosalinda Baldoz said the decision to lift the ban was agreed on by the government, local recruiters and migrant workers but deployment will resume only after the legal cases against the wage cut are filed in Hong Kong courts.
