Pinagpala sa amo

Posted on 17 August 2019 No comments


Pakiramdam ni Leoni, 46 taong gulang at taga Laguna, ay napakapalad niya sa amo. Nakatatlong kontrata na siya sa mga amo na taga Tiu Keng Leng nang ipagtapat niya na isa siyang lesbian, at may partner na inaapi ng amo.

Tumagal lang ng tatlong buwan ang partner niya sa amo nito dahil sobrang pagod sa trabaho, at laging binubulyawan ng mag-asawa at pati ng anak nilang babae na 9 na taong gulang pa lang.

Sa huling araw ng notice period nito ay hindi umuwi ang pamilyang abusado hanggang hindi umabot ng alas 10 ng gabi, at doon pa lang siya pinag-umpisang magtrabaho.

Habang abala ay nilalapitan pa siya ng anak ng mga ito at sinisigawan ng “pangit ka” at “Stupid ka, umalis ka na ngayon para hindi na magbayad ang mommy at daddy ko.”

Gustong gusto na niya sanang bumaba para matahimik na siya pero pinigilan siya ni Leoni. Pina loudspeaker niya ang telepono nito para malaman ng kanyang mala-demonyong amo na may kausap siya sa kabilang linya na kakampi niya.

Ayon sa partner niya, sinabihan siya ng amo na tatawag sila ng pulis kung magpipilit ito na  umalis noong gabing iyon, at ginawa nga nila.

Noong unang buwan pa lang nito sa mga amo ay nabagsak ng anak nila ang teleono nito pero ibinintang sa katulong. Tumanggi ito pero nagpilit ang mga amo na bayaran niya ng $400.

Ang ginawa niya ay naghamon siya na tingnan ang CCTV kung sino talaga ang may kasalanan. Pagdating ng pulis ay pinakita nila ang CCTV pero hindi sila pinansin.

Nakiusap ang Pinay sa mga pulis kung pwedeng bumaba na siya noon din pero sinabihan siya na magtiis na lang dahil 24 oras na lang at laya na siya sa kanyang kontrata.

Habang kausap siya ni Leoni ay katabi nito ang kanyang among babae na kalaunan ay hiniling  na siya ang kumausap sa nasa kabilang linya.

“Keep calm and if you can take a video or photo, take some,” payo ng amo ni Leoni. Iiling-iling daw ito bago nagsabi ng, “Why are there people who are so evil?”

Hindi nagtagal ay umalis na ang mga pulis na walang nakitang kaso na maaring isampa sa Pinay. Lumabas ang totoo na ayaw lang nilang bayaran ang kasambahay.

Ayon kay Leoni, sa sobrang bait ng kanyang mga amo ay hinanapan pa nila ng bagong employer ang kanyang partner, at habang naghihintay ito na maubos ang 14 na araw na palugit bago umuwi ng Pilipinas ay pinayagan pang tumira sa kanilang bahay.

At dahil weekdays ang magiging day-off nito sa bagong amo ay sinabi pa nila na maari itong tumuloy sa kanilang bahay para magpahinga. Sabi pa ni Leoni, “Take note, sabi pa ni amo if magsawa ako sa kanila, si partner daw ang papalit sa akin. Oh, di ba may future na kami?”.

Hindi lang iyon, mismong ang amo niyang lalaki ang nag text kay Leoni kinabukasan, at nagbigay ng mga dapat gawin ng kanyang partner: “Remind two points 1. Don’t take anything from her working place even some cheap thing or non-value thing. 2nd before she leave the place check her personal luggage. Take photo of her money in her pocket; make sure that her money is her money.”

Sabi nga ni Leoni, “Hindi perpekto ang mga amo ko, pero …ang employer ko ay masasabi kong anghel sa lupa, both  husband and wife and their 8-year-old.” – Rodelia Villar

Maid jailed after being held at airport for 2-year-old jewelry theft

Posted on No comments
Ringor was arrested for the theft at the airport just as she was about to fly out

By Vir B. Lumicao

The long arm of the law finally caught up with a Filipina domestic worker who stole $21,000 worth of jewelry from her employer two years ago.

Normal L. Ringor, 41, was sentenced to four months in jail at Kwun Tong court on Aug 16 for the theft.

She pleaded guilty to the offense before Magistrate Joseph To, nearly a month after her arrest at Hong Kong International Airport as she was about to leave the city.
She had been put on the Immigration watch list after police investigators found Ringor had pawned a ring, three gold jewelry pieces and four necklaces between March and July 2017.

These were among the pieces of jewelry that her former employer, Li Shen, had reported missing in March 2017. Li said he had kept a diamond ring, a gold pendant and a gold medal in an unlocked drawer in his three-year-old son’s bedroom in their flat on Tower 16 at Ocean Shores in Tseung Kwan O.
Li said he put the pendant and medal in the drawer in September 2014. Then in January 2017, he added a diamond ring in the drawer.

On Dec 7, 2017, Li said he wanted to wear the jewelry but could not find them in the drawer. He asked his wife and son whether they had taken them but they said no.

The employer said no one could have taken the jewelry from the drawer other than the members of his household.
He reported the theft to the police, who searched the house and Ringor’s belongings but did not find the jewelry.

Shortly after the incident, Li terminated the contract of Ringor, who he hired as domestic helper in September 2014. The maid apparently found another employer.

The police who continued to check pawnshops eventually discovered that Ringor had hocked the eight pieces of jewelry while in Li’s employ.

At around 7:30am on Jul 20 this year, Ringor was arrested at the Hong Kong airport as she was about to board a flight out of the city.

During police questioning, Ringor admitted stealing Li’s jewelry in March 2017 because her father died. She said she pawned them in Central but could not remember the date and the name of the pawnshop.

Her lawyer said in mitigation Ringor had stolen the jewelry because she needed around $10,000 for her father’s funeral. He said Ringor was remorseful and asked for a lenient sentence.

But Magistrate To dismissed the plea, saying Ringor had committed a serious breach of trust.

Labour officer rules that employer's holiday not DH’s annual leave

Posted on No comments
Tribunal officer said FDWs cannot be considered to be on leave just because their employer leaves town

By Vir B. Lumicao

In a ruling that could impact a lot of foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong, an
officer at the Labour Tribunal said an employer who leaves Hong Kong with his family cannot consider their absence from home a vacation leave for their helper if she decides to stay behind and do her chores.

Presiding officer Isabella Chu made the statement on Aug 15 as she thumbed down employer Li Jinyi’s attempt to avoid paying just over $500 for the unused annual leave of his dismissed Filipina helper, Mary Ann Villanueva.

Li had argued that the maid was idle while the family was away, so she could be deemed to be on vacation.
But after Chu dismissed the argument, Villanueva and Li ended a two-month stalemate by agreeing on a $6,312 payout to the maid. 

The sum was reached after Li and his wife talked to Villanueva outside the courtroom to get the $7,762 proposed settlement computed by the presiding officer reduced further.

Villanueva had claimed $3,675 in arrears in wages, $4,390 wage in lieu of notice, $543.31 for unused annual leave, $100 travel allowance, and $700 for one-way air ticket.

She was terminated by Li just eight months into her two-year contract, saying in a three-page statement that he was dissatisfied with her performance.
But, after Chu computed what he should be paying, Li said he would file a claim for one month salary in lieu of notice, since it was Villanueva who allegedly terminated her contract.

“I just don’t understand it. In your statement you used three pages to say you were not satisfied with the claimant’s performance so you dismissed her. You gave a her a month’s notice on Jun 6, so, why do you say she left her employment?”  Chu asked Li.
The employer said that after he served the notice, Villanueva should have continued to do her work “but she did something that angered us,” Li said, while his wife butted in and said the helper was always on her phone.

But Chu, who had read Villanueva’s statement, said the helper could not work because the couple didn’t allow her to do so.

Unable to do anything, the maid left Li’s house on Jun 9 and took her case to the Labour Department.

Heat stroke suspected in elderly Pinay DH’s death

Posted on 15 August 2019 No comments

Pamemla Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital where the victim was declared dead o n arrival.

By Vir B. Lumicao
A 63-year-old Filipina domestic worker with a known heart ailment was found dead on Monday morning, Aug 12, in her bed in Shaukeiwan, a likely victim of heat stroke.
The helper, Milagrosa M. Aligaen, a widow with two grown-up sons, was discovered dead by her 62-year-old employer on the lower deck of a bunk bed that they shared in the latter’s flat.
Aligaen’s sister-in-law, Elsa Cordero, said the employer called up police on Monday morning after she found her maid already lifeless.

The officers who responded called an ambulance crew that took Aligaen to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital where she was certified dead, said Cordero, who was also contacted immediately by the employer.
The actual cause of her death is still being determined by the coroner.
Aligaen, a native of Maasin, Iloilo, had been complaining about a heart problem and taking maintenance medicines, said Cordero.

During their last meeting on Sunday Aug 12, Aligaen complained to Cordero that she could not sleep and had difficulty breathing due to the hot weather in the past few days.
“Sinasabi niya naiinitan siya at nahihirapang huminga dahil sa init pero ayaw ng amo niyang magbukas ng aircon,” Cordero said.
She said the employer’s flat was small so they had to share the double-deck bed, with the employer occupying the upper deck. To cool herself, the victim reportedly used a tiny portable electric fan.

The Hong Kong Observatory has issued a hot weather warning over the past several days as the city baked under high temperatures of 33 to 35 degrees Celsius.
Aligaen was hired seven years ago to take care of the employer’s father, who is in a home for the elderly, Cordero said. The deceased came to work in Hong Kong in 1990.
While the employer worked at a 7-Eleven store in the area, the maid reportedly had to go to the elderly home everyday to look after the old man’s needs.
On Wednesday, the employer went to the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration to report the death of Aligaen and work on the required documents for her repatriation.
Cordero said the employer wants the deceased cremated, but Aligaen’s sons, who had already been informed of their mother’s death, want her flown home and buried in her hometown.
The remains are in Victoria Mortuary in Kennedy Town but will be moved to a funeral home in Hung Hom for a planned public viewing this Sunday, Aug 18, Cordero said.
