      If I were you, I will either send her back to her agency or buy ticket to send her home. Nowadays, all filipino maids fear to go home because their government had stringent their regulations which make it hard for domestic helpers to apply to work in overseas. I had employed both Indonesian and Filipino domestic helpers before, I feel that filipino are troublemaker.


      Our current filipino helper had been with us for 4 years and leaving us this month end. We have been tolerating with her outrageous acts for these 4 years, we did not send her home due to personal reasons. I personally had wrote her a testimonial which to be presented to her future HK employer however understand complaints from outside the country will receive less attention. Therefore, I had decided to send it to MOM instead.

      Friends and colleagues around me are victims of having filipino helpers. Filipiono helpers may seem to be kind and polite in front of you but when they had decided not to work for you, they will start showing their true self and create problems for you. Even our filipino colleagues told me that most of the filipinos are born pretender.

      The decision is still up to you. But my advise for you is never trust a filipino helpers, even though they cry and beg you to let them stay. And I will never buy their stories because they have plenty to tell.

      Once bitten, twice shy.

          This one is obvious wat. Many indon have strong believe of these thing and occult. My neighbor had one who came for 6 mth and said similar and one fine day just suddenly lie on the kitchen floor and 'cannot/refuse' to move, got the whole family into a fright. Bought her a one-way ticket the next day and the 'haunting' left with her. Which part of Indon did yr maid come from?

            Hi Javiyeo


            Many yrs back when i had a Indo maid, she also said tt my hse was haunted. My first reaction was \"How can it be?\". Then I got a little worried. My mum told me not to accept what she said. Afterall, weve been staying in the hse for so many yrs, it is bright daylight, and in my place, you can hear activities or voices of neighbours, and when you look out of the windows, you can see vehicles and pedestrians moving around.

            I was 100% convinced and I told my maid very convincingly that the house is very fine. After that, she nvr bring up the matter again. :rahrah:

                        what a joke… i just happened to come upon this message and i feel so short-changed by the agency now. it’s more than 2 months since i paid my first payment upon confirming the maid selected. then in between they had persuaded me to change my maid selection and now i am still waiting for her to come…
