The upcoming National Domestic Workers’ Summit is part of the country’s push to seek stronger measures to protect Filipinos working as household helpers here and abroad, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). Some eight million Filipinos leave to work overseas  every year, and many of them find work as domestic helpers — or maids.
