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.
Wow a dog that barks thats a novelty hahaha what a stupid bitch. Well done to the helper for keeping calm and respectful in the face of such abuse and racism. I hope the dog did bite she deserves it for her stupidity and bad attitude. I pity the man that has to live with that!!

Melfa Bernardino Bertuldo tamah ka. Obvious nman na sobra sobra na ang panlalait na ginawa ng chinese women nyan sa kabayan natin. Besides ung aso ni intsik ang walang tali. So dpat sila ang lumayo. Bibihira sa katulong ang kinakaya ang nag aalaga kana ng baby at d same time may aalagaan pa xang aso.. sobra n din panlalait ng chinese na yan sa employer nung pinay. Sayang at walang video… halos bastusin nya ung employer ng pinay over the phone… dpat humingi ng sorry yang chinese na yan sa pinay thru media… its insulting for her and to all of us helper here in hk… nang maging aral sa ibang chinese employer that they should respect the helper not just bec were only helper here… malaking bagay ang naitutulong kaya natin sa knilang mga employer…
this such a rubbish woman
if i be that helper i will break her mouth directly
A person like u is not welcome in our country
One rule of taking care of a dog is not to come near a dog that are unfriendly. This woman had no reason to blame it all on the maid since they are both walking their dogs everyday and are already familiar with each other. Isip isip muna kasi mukhang nananadya si madam para magkaroon ng dahilan para masigawan c katulong.
Apply Ethics. RESPECT EACH OTHER.
SA KATULONG AND TO ALL HELPERS: MAY 2 ASO AT BABY KANG INAALAGAAN SABAY. WALA MUNANG CELLPHONE PAG GANYAN ANG SITWASYON MALIBAN NA LANG PAG TUMAWAG ANG AMO.

if i was the helper i will give that crazy woman her piece of good cake.she was not been bitten by the dog,i watched the video few times cursing my heart out, else she will go more madder like a mad dog.she is the one who has a bad manner.the baby was crying scared.she should have realized the situation.maybe the woman is childless.that kind of creature needs discipline.
That woman is arrogant and rude. She got no right at all to look down more so to shout at the domestic helper. That woman has an issue.
Melfa Bernardino Bertuldo tama ka dyan. Pg ibang lahi tiklop. Khit nakikitang mali yang insikto lukarit yta yan. Hahaha! Pinay dn yta ang katulong nya.
She’s more barking than the dog
mga ka ofw,maging aware Lang satin trabaho para hindi inabot un ganito moment ,nakakahiya…!
As i believe she was on the phone because that woman demanded to call the helper’s boss!..dogs bark..and that is a dogs’ park..so what is wrong for that?the problem thre was the woman keeps barking too..so dogs barks more! Just saying!✌????
Even you hurt as well you mo right to shout and say bad words to her and asker to go back and she’s only a helper. Your no right. You can just tell her in a nice way. Stupid lady. It just an excuse you hurt yourself.no excuse what you said to her. No one have the to say so. Got it.
