A video has gone viral on social media showing a local woman shouting at a Filipina maid – “Go back to the Philippines!” – in a dog park on Wan Po Road in Tsuen Kwan O, the New Territories.
The five-minute video, which surfaced on Facebook on Thursday, shows the local woman scolding and pointing a finger at the domestic worker caring for two dogs and a child in a stroller, because of the dogs’ behavior.
The woman complained that the two dogs “always keep barking” and the domestic worker did not control them. She also complained that the maid should not take care of the dogs and the child at the same time.
The domestic worker hit back, saying the woman shouldn’t scold her. But the woman got more emotional, saying “You should shut the f–k up! You’re just the helper.”
When the helper replied, “I am controlling them”, the woman said, “You are not, because your dog is barking [at] my dog!”
The local woman then demanded to speak to the maid’s employer, saying “Ask your boss to come here – I will tell him the rules.”
The domestic worker agreed to call her employer, but the woman continued: “You should change your attitude. You are not [fit] to be a helper. You’re only working in Hong Kong. You should go back to the Philippines. Bad attitude, bad helper!”
The quarrel ended when the domestic worker gave her boss’ phone number to the woman.
The video, filmed by another Filipina domestic worker, Mel C. Santiago, had been shared 17,000 times and garnered 1.2 million views as of Monday.
The woman was slammed by netizens for her bullying and disrespectful attitude. But Apple Daily on Saturday tracked her down and ran the “other side of the story” that the video did not disclose, via a friend.
The woman claimed that her right hand got hurt by her own dog when she was separating the dogs. A few photos showed her bleeding hand and when she allegedly went to a hospital for treatment.
The woman said she got angry because when she complained to the domestic worker, the latter did not respond or apologize to her.
The woman said it was not the first time she complained to the maid, claiming the latter could not control her dogs and let them barking at others while the maid was focused on her mobile phone.
Jalilo dela Torre, Labor Attache at the Philippine Consulate in Hong Kong, said the Filipina could take a case to the Equal Opportunities Commission if the person’s action constituted racial harassment, sunwebhk.com reported.
But it was understood that the domestic worker was not keen to file charges, the report said.
How disappointing how racial discrimination exist.. now, I’m waiting comments from Chinese people.. what and how are their reaction in this scenario
Kaya nga poooh ng iiyak yung bata piro tuloy parin sigaw nya

Yung babae pa may ganang magsabi na bad attitude yung helper baket? Porket helper sya hindi na nya pwedeng ipagtanggol sarili nya? So anong gustong gawin nung babae na gawin nung helper matapos iduro iduro sya nang babae magmakaawa lumuhod magpatawad… ay antey! Don’t me!
I have lots of dogs and different breeds at home way back Phils…
Dog barks with 2 reasons..1.when they saw strangers..2.when they smells and feels threat.. Which maybe the dogs feels at her.because she really is scary..
But with this incidents..according to the un educated chinese woman it happened twice already…
It just proved that even animals doesn’t like her..so they keep barking when she’s around .
Why these employer knows already that her dog has a problem with the helpers dog. But she still wanted to got close to them? Then she’s complaining being hurt by separating her dog from the other one? Is that enough reason to bully a helper because she is just a helper? Come on guys! We are all human!
wanna to slap that women mounth with my shoe,tarah asu kok ra oleh jinggong
What a stupid woman, the dogs are just playing, there is acually no need to have so much argguement. Even though the dogs are fighting, just bring the dog to another place. In hk, schools educate children to be polite and be reasonable of what they say, but what do we have here, a woman who is insulting a helper because she thinks a dog is barking her dog. If she still thinks her actions were right, i think she go back to primary school!
she was telling the worker that the latter should "control" the dogs?! but she herself has no "control" of her mouth – she’s just like those dogs, BARKING! ! !
I think the lady is rught,,,helper must change her attitude first, the lady will not angry if the maid talking nicely,,,
I can’t blame the lady, I think the lady is right,,,helper must change her attitude first, the lady will not angry if the maid talking nicely,,,

That woman is one example of an abnormal person. Lacked of.spiritual knowledge. That’s why she can barked worst than a dog.
I hope so …
Yes same me before take care two kids and two dogy in the time together…
The local woman thinks the helper should defer to all local people and ‘know their place’. She really thinks helpers should treat all locals as their boss. She said, “I would not hire you,” as if the helper would ever want to work for her! This is a person incapable of treating all humans equally.
