| Screen grab of attack caught on viral video |
The Migrant Workers Office today urged the Filipina who was shown being assaulted in a video that has become viral on social media, to come out so proper assistance can be extended to her.
“We need to identify
her so we can get accurate information about the case,” acting Labor Attache Antonio
R. Villafuerte said.
He promised his office will help her seek justice.

The video shows the Filipina being hit three times with a handbag by a Chinese woman. She did not fight back, although she held on to the bag to stop the attack as she left the room.
OFW chat groups on Facebook suggested that the incident took
place inside the clubhouse of a residential building.
The attacker was said to be the mother of a child who was
admonished earlier by the Filipina for bullying her ward, but this could not be confirmed.
The date of the attack was not disclosed, although one video has a July 15 time stamp.
Some Filipino community leaders who saw the video immediately sounded out Welfare Officer Marilou Sumalinog of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, and she promised to alert the MWO about it.
But she advised the leaders not to share the video, saying it could put the Filipina in trouble.
