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.
???????????? bakit nasaksihan mo ba talaga Ang nangyari!!! Buset!
Nasilip ng babae yung paghawak nya lagi ng phone para maging rason nya siguro. At siguro sinadya nyang balikan para makaganti kung totoo mang nagkaendure sya sa paghihiwalay ng dalawang aso… kasi pati yung pinay sinabi na "you remeber the lady i told you" dun sa tinawagan nya.. pwede naman nilang nasettle yan ng maayus kung nagreklamo lang ang babae sa tamang paraan o lugar. hindi yung kung bulyawan nya akala mo authorized sya… May mga nakikita talaga ako na naglalakad ng aso na kahit bomangga na sa poste nakatitig parin sa telepono nila. But sa the case nila.. dtw hindi nasosolve ang sigalot o problema sa pag iingay…
Cmone i walk ???? too. If i observe that other dogs are hyper i my self distance my furry friend and walk a bit farther. It is also true that some dog walkers just keep an eye on their phone. Nevertheless i think if the queeen lady think that she is perfectly right and the Filipina is to be blame then she should stage her complain to the right place not yelling on the street like an a kid and talk about her personal issues.
If it didn’t happen once then why she still approach near the Filipina specialy if she already allegedly went to a hospital for treatment.
Crazy attitude that she had, not even think what she did when she shout that have a kid in front of them, she can talk to the maid calmly way,even we are a servant in your eyes but our rights is not included your payment! Where did you put your brain madam?barking is normal madam
This crazy chinese woman should talk in proper way to my fellow maid….. oh wait ofcourse she will not talk in a nice way because she is crazy, bad attitude, rude and uneducated woman from hell. Dont try to go philipines or else we housemaid will gonna dump you in pasig river!
Insecure
Shes barking more than a dog????????
then whyshe didn’t call a police if she was badl y injured… she knows the law she can file a case to the owner of the dog… and all of a sudden telling the maid is always on phone … why she didn’ t even tell that to the video that the helper is always on her phone… but stating in there why you bring the baby and the dog together… is she stupid to ask that? ofcourse if the helper go out with the dog who will take care of the baby… can she not be the one to understand the situation , she saw the helper with a baby and dogs…. she should understand that its hard to take care together… any way she had her dog and her husband and her own helper on that time … how can she understand how hard to take care a dog and a baby… she cant even take care her own dog… she even go out with her helper together… thats how demanding she is…. so she also demands other person.. if she has a wide range of understanding she should be the one to understand.. so that there were no more crazy fights…but seems like she owns everyone….she wants to demand even the employer to go there immediately… who is she by the way… and then all of a sudden question the identity of the helper .. and as to discriminate her… why ?are you employers good enough as to be employers? remember at home there are only two position ,an employer and a helper.. its not because you are employer so high enough to discriminate helpers… wrong because the positions are just in need with each other… no helper no so called employer….!
Racial discrimination and abusive words must not be done by anyone. You must be reasonable at all times, seeing the situation like this, you need to think before you speak to someone. The hardest job of all is to be a domestic helper and I’m sure everyone will agree on that. So be kind to them and give some respect they needed
OMG
Same to you,your attitude also very bad ,who are you to point your finger and shouted at her you are irritated of the dog bark but you are worst then the dog keep barking and barking like crazy dog,dont say just a helper coz the truth is you cannot do what the helper can do.

Insecure? U can talk to her in a nice way to remind her that her priority is the baby and the dogs not her phone
