| The two Filipinas were charged at Shatin court |
Two Filipina domestic helpers accused of violating the Immigration Ordinance, got off lightly today at Shatin Court after they agreed to be bound over in return for charges against them being dropped.
G. Perez, 47 years old, was accused of breach of condition
of stay by allegedly doing business selling socks and lipsticks on Aug. 11,
2024.
Magistrate Andrew Mok granted the prosecution motion to drop
charges against her after she accepted the bind-over agreement in which she would
promise not to reoffend for 24 months, with a penalty of $1,000 if she does.

L. Sonyo, on the other hand, was cleared of the charge
of “making a false statement to an Immigration Officer lawfully acting under or
in the execution of Part III of the Immigration Ordinance.”
Sonyo, 34 years old, was accused of lying when she declared
to an Immigration officer that she would work for an employer who signed her
work contract registered with the Immigration Department.
