A 38-year-old Filipino maid almost got caught breaching Hong Kong regulations against accepting part-time work after she was asked to clean an apartment that did not belong to her regular employer.
The woman nicknamed “Lenglui,” which literally means “Pretty Girl” in Cantonese, has been working for her current employer for three years, sunwebhk.com reported. Last month, she was offered a cleaning job in Kennedy Town by a fellow Filipino.
On December 3, Lenglui went to to the apartment and met the man who was living there. He asked her to clean up the apartment while he was away for a meeting for a short time.
As Lenglui was cleaning the apartment, she saw a document hanging on the wall that identified the man as an immigration officer. She immediately left the apartment and sent a message to the man that it is illegal in Hong Kong for domestic workers to have part-time jobs.
Lenglui erased all relevant mobile messages as she was afraid she would be arrested.
The article did not say whether the incident was a setup by immigration authorities or if the man genuinely needed help cleaning his apartment.
Lenglui has been reminding fellow Filipinos not to trust people automatically, especially about illegal job offers.
Ate Merly Bunda it’s seems same story this one you said few weeks ago. .. probably is this the one they talking about. ..
Fellow Filipino introduced her to do partime job.. And she was set up? Oh.. Thats crab mentality.. Really hard to trust anyone..
Id just hope this will be lesson for us helpers not to take partime jobs.. Just enjoy our holiday.. Learn to live within your means..
If someone recommended her,then it’s really a partime. I am working part-time to a family of police before.
It’s illegal don’t do such partime holiday means rest if don’t want rest talk to your employer i don’t want all holidays i want half every month if they agree then will get paid for those days didn’t off
Hindi nman lahat ng immigration officer nasunod sa batas.meron nga clang driver live out.!
Viel Kanzel fdh are not allowed to do partime job… What is written in our contract must follow only to work with our employer… Someone recommended her to work with an immigration officer.. And i think it is a set up.. It is illegal
illegal employer must catch too,there is no illegal maid if there is no illegal employer,,,be fair …!
Thats is surely set up,because immigration personel knew that it is prohibited to the rules regulation in hk ,so better not to do PT
How to enjoy holiday ? Thousands of relatives in the Philippines are waiting for your remittance or they will die from hunger right ?
Wilson Yao life is simple.. As if ur not a filipino.. A filipino can enjoy life even on its darkest side… Go to park enjoy the scenery take selfie… U can enjoy if u want…
Wilson Yao really??why they need our money everyday??oh common we have the right to enjoy ourselves in our rest day,and our families will understand that.so if i were you better shut up and get a life????????
Wilson Yao oohh really mamatay talaga sila Kong walang remittance ?grabe ka ha ako buhay lahat family ko kahit wala ang remittance ko ..Kong hindi ka Ipinanganak sa Pilipinas tumahimik ka…
Well,i must say but some of Us they’ll really doing that coz of compensation called, once you told them you have known,specially if a person has a bad blood for each other,they want that person suffer..i was saying this coz i’ve an experienced specially if u stayed in a boarding house for a long period of time…really sad for those kababayans that have a frnds who backfights u!
Follow and abide the law causes no troubles and problems..
Simpelng batas di niyo masunod tapos pag nahuli paano pamilya niyo
For Mr. Wilson Yao, I’m sorry sir
Pero hindi po lahat ng Filipino ganyan mag-isip
For me I don’t give fish to feed my family but instead I gave them rod for them to fish for themselves.
Kaya I enjoyed my holiday as well as I enjoyed my salary
Wilson Yao . Your funny philippines is not like hongkong that if you don’t have you will die in hunger or jump to your death ….
Wilson Yao ..that’s impossible!!!
Why they die, they have to budget what is renitted for them.
If you know it’s illegal, then why do it?
Most Filipino trap their own counter parts or friends to clear their way to work for that employer. It’s not astonishing. They are always complaining against each other.
She sent a letter to a man saying illegal for domestic worker to get part time job? But whats legal of her to be inside a strangers house in the first place? She committed 2 illegal acts at the same time.
Baka may nagreport kaya nahuli? Ang police jan ngpapartime din di naman nahuhuli
Paano sya nahuli? Diba umalis sya iniwan nya ang work tapos ngmessage na lng xa sa pinag partime nya?
Crab?
What’s crab got to do with it?
Good day each and everyone praise the father …let’s love one another and help one another hindi yong ikaw pa ang magpahamak sa kapwa mo pilipino…why are You happy kung nahuli xa? Kung saiyo again yon are you happy… Hwag Amman ganon mga kababayan…we are all here to work and earn money san family na to….GOD bless
Tama….makontento kayo sa sahod nio…Kapwa nating Pinoy ang nagpapahamak sa atin…
Mag-ingat sa fellow Pinoy….maraming tuso…
Pag sinabing bawal bawal..tigas ng ulo..ayaw nyo mahuli,lubayan nyo..hinde kayo kuntento sahod nyo lumipat kayo kesa makulong kayo.susme
Baka naman gusto lang talaga magpalinis.kasi kong magsumbing siya elligak din naman yun
RJ Aim Villa, exactly right
Dave Muir some helpers do partime job even illegal its because they want to earn more.. I said the other filipino who introduced her to do partime with an immig officer put her into trouble… Maybe she wants the other filipina to be deported back to philippines…
Wilson Yao ur crazy stupid.。。think before u comment non sense
That is not a totally set up may part time din ako na immigration officer ，she knows the law and rukes but he said as long as Nobody knows it then its ok umistop na ako at pinasa ko na sa frend ko gang ngayon nagpapart time pa din Xa sa knya,huminto na ako sa。part time。kasi nasa taekwondo world na ako wala na ako time jan kasi nagtuturo na ako ng taekwondo para. Mas lalong maglevel up ang kalusugan
Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.
Wilson Yao don’t say that they will die for luck of food,do you know sir most of us we Have a land or farm to planted the rice@vegetables.we came here to work abroad for our children future or pay school fee.we came here to work as Domestic workers but is that’s means we are hungger or luck of food
Dito sa lugar namin talamak ang ganyang trabaho yung iba panga mga feeling reaidente sila kase per hour ang trabaho para lang silang mga locals dito. Marami akong kilala naganyan tawag doon sponsor.
Absolute true
Well swerte mo pa rin at napansin mo agad ung mga papers sa table nya.
Wahhhhhhh
correct
MAG INJOY NA LANG KC HAHA… PARTY SELFIE GALA WINDOWS SHOPPING…. MAKUNTENTO NA SA SAHOD ????????????
Jloydmanacdac Topao-i Malaggay …. WILSON YAO..even we dont work here in uour country, we will eat and live. only we want a better future for our children. and what do yu boast of? most of the houses here on yur country is like a MATCH BOX? ( POSPORO ) that size is just a one room in our country.
if you are blessed, give thanks you dont need to leave yur family to work, but thay doesnt give yu any right to insult us.
it’s not bad to take a part time job for an extra income but make sure that the country you are working allows domestic workers to take part time work..we as ofw’ s must be very careful not to make our lives miserable just because of disobeying the law.do not make any excuses if you want to work longer time because once you are cought,your salary could not be enough to pay for your charges..Law is law to be followed.so please.
Regrets always comes at LAST. And Never trust yourself when doing ILLEGAL thing
Exactly,,, coz they can’t afford fullltime just be careful ,you are not covered by insurance if accident happens
Sabi nga ng Pulis,,,,its illegal if you are caught lol
Correct ka kabayan
Wilson Yao very simple …let them know how much u earn …that u you have salary at the end of the month…thats it…teach them to work for themselves ❤❤❤
Wilson Yao,if you work in other country that does not mean you don’t have food to eat. We choose to work as OFW to bring our siblings or kids to
Kapwa din natin Ang nagpapahamak sa atin,,,
Fernandez Jhenne inggit cguro… Ganun namn kramiham kya ingat s pagtitiwala
Why dosent all Fillipino workers stand in protest against this stupid law . Yuo are being treated like slaves and you r not slaves
Be very careful in accepting part time job if you are non residence as there are rewards to those who help the immigration catch domestic helper doing illegal works.
