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.

Yes ur right.. Thats what i mean… The park is a public place. And should consider the presence of the baby. She almost scared the baby and on her side she said the maid is focusing on her phone, does it mean that she’s there to check only at others helper. The dog must b protective that’s why he bit her.

i think the helper only following boss instruction.and the lady why she need to complain it’s a public area so if she don’t like the siunds of dog barkung she must leave the premises no need to critisize the helper and point fingers to her.
I’m a proud help with a good employer. God bless you madamme. I wish one day u open up ur mind. We people do the same pooping.

Grace Camacho kaw andun ba?nagreply Lang tayo sa video.
I think the woman just missed her crazy pills , she thinks that is the right thing to do pointing fingers to other people, if I were the helper , I would just call 999, and report her for verbally abused the helper , stupid woman , why she need to bring the occupation matter , really irrelevant !
Ask her to take a chill pills
She don’t need to insult the helper. She’s not even the employer of the helper. For me it’s a hrdwork taking care of two dogs snd a baby and need to walk the dogs. Let’s say that the helper is playing her phone and the dogs are barking… That local woman dont like it… She can just walk away or can talk to the helper in a nice way no need to shout and insult her infront of the baby.
She’s talking to her employer …
She’s talking to her employer!!!

Tignan ninyo yong video ni wala naman sinabi ni local na her finger was hurt dahil sa paghiwalay niy sa mga aso ,,kung ganun yong nangyari bakit d siya tumawag ng police,tas yong sabi niya na ur dog bite my dog bakit d niya (local )nireport,,
madam…it is normal for the dogs to barked …you ‘ll be amazed if they talk…..hahaha
her injury is not enough….the dog must bite her tonque too…lol
I dont believe the Chinese woman have a bruises in her hand unless she have a big dog and the small dog bite her dog that Chinese woman is a complete liar.if she have a big dog then her dog the one who bite the small dog.the Chinese woman just want to justify her wrong attitude.
