A 41-year-old Filipino domestic worker was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of stealing cash that her employer had stashed in his apartment in Kowloon Tong.
At 10pm, a 50-year-old man reported to Hong Kong police that he could not find the equivalent of around US$25,600 in cash he had stored in his home at Phoenix Court on Broadcast Drive, Sing Tao Daily reported. The cash included Hong Kong and foreign currencies.
It was understood that the maid had suddenly claimed she needed to attend to an urgent matter at home in the Philippines and asked her boss to buy her an air ticket, Apple Daily reported.
Feeling suspicious, the woman’s employer checked a drawer of the dining table where the cash should have been, and it was gone.
He suspected that his domestic worker had stolen the money, and he called the police.
After an initial investigation, police arrested the maid on suspicion of theft. Kowloon City Police Station is following up the case.
Ako nga 200,000 yoru iniwan ni amu sa bahay di ko ginalaw. 2miyon HKD. Ang pera makita,ang kahihiyan mo habang buhay.bakit my taong ganyan.dapat putolan ng kamay.
Us$25.000 and the employer put in the drawer of the dinning table, why?
And the maid she just couldn’t resist seeing that much of money whether she really needed or not ,she shouldn’t steal
I mean who don’t need and don’t want money but if isn’t yours then leave it,
Better earn your money with respect and dignity ,
What a shame ruined your life and reputation
Grave nawala ang pera nakalagay s drawer under table…ng ganun kalaki
Eh ni wala nga halos cash laman ng wallet ng mga amo…pansinin lang ninyo mga amo ninyo pagbumili puru card..oh octopus ang pambayad nila.
Manilawa pa ako sabihin nawaala diamond oh ginto nawala…
Mga among walang hiya tigidig din.
Baka laking tiwala yon amo nya..Kya nya nilagay doon sa drawer ng kitchen nila..Or baka sinubukan Lang kung hindi nya kunin..Pero bakit mo nman ngawa yon kabayan..Dapat inisisp mo bago ginawa kung tama bah or hindi.Ngaun nakakahiya lahat n damay nanaman..????????????????.
John Anthony Ignacious tama … parang its ok lang total not that big amount. tsk… ang pagnanakaw ay pagnanakaw pa rin no matter how big the amount is. kung hindi sayo at kinuha mo malinaw na stealing.
dun sa isang article na nabasa ko yung helper mismo yung bumili ng ticket nya bago nagpaalam. saka bago palang yung helper sa kanila kaya nagtaka sila how come nakabili sya ng ticket at gusto na umuwi.
if this is the story of Arlejene semira Tejada based on what I read on the other article, she herself bought her own ticket and just informed her employer she needs to go home.
its ok to go if it is really an urgent matters but not to the point that you need to ruin not only your reputation but the entire Filipino nation. You sell your soul to devil. No matter how hard you’ve been struggling in life is it really reasonable to steal? I feel sad.
Den’z Kie nsa news yan yan tlga ang name
Smell fishy? Sus pinagtanggol pa ung pag nanakaw….mahiya naman kayo..

Something smells fishy
Pero not that big amount.. stupid employer.. khit siguro sino maisip mo nakawin.. maisip lng ha.. parang binibigyan yun tao ng chance mag isip ng masama at ng magkksala din kasi why put just in the drawer..that amount just put only in a drawer? there are safety places for that.. para n rin nya tinuruan yun tao magnakaw e. maeengganyo kng kunin.. pero if that happens really you have to think not twice but have to widen your mind.and if you did that you have to think the consequencies.. mga tao n madadamay sa kahihiyan n ginawa mo. Lahat ng filipino damay s ginawa mo.. kakahiya ka.. hay naku kabayan.. nganga k ngayon

Seriously, I am looking after a couple age 90 and 86, mama has dimentia or Alzheimer, she always forget, at alam nyo naman siguro na ang matatanda dto has lots of money saving..si asamahan ko sila mag withdraw 40 ,50k and after that makikita ko ang pera nasa drawer ng dining area or on top of their bedside. What Im saying her, pag matatanda na at may tiwala na sila sa atin. Ganyan na ginagawa nila, parang its up to us na kung matutukso ka…at sa mga gumagawa ng ganyan na sinasamantala ang pagiging malilimotin nila, its their choice. BUT, always remember na ang lahat ng ating ginagawa ay may consequences. Ang sabi nga tayo ang gumagawa ng kapalaran natin…simple lang kahit saan man ilagay ng mga amo natin ang mahalagang gamit nila, hindi natin pagaari wag pakialaman. Yan ang natutohan ko dto sa aking amo, nakakalimot man sya, pero di ko hawak ang kanyang isip na maaring makaalalang muli. So better be a good person, God will reward those who do good, not now but in His perfect time. God bless us all mga kabayan. Wag natin husgahan ang amo ni ate kung bakit sa kitchen drawer nya nilagay ang ganun kalaking pera.
Roxiie Sernicula umamin na cya

Ano yan??.Fowl play ? Di kapani paniwala…
