A Filipino domestic worker in Hong Kong was given a two-month jail term for using her expired work contract and work visa to get a loan.
On March 1 at the Sha Tin Magistrates’ Court, Marites F Olarte, 42, was sentenced after pleading guilty to obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception, sunwebhk.com, a news portal for Filipinos in Hong Kong, reported on Monday.
On November 4, 2017, Olarte was fired by her employer Wong Chin-wang, which made her work contract and work visa invalid. Two days later, Olarte borrowed HK$40,100 (US$5,110) from a lending company after presented her expired contract and visa.
Olarte was to repay the loan in 17 months through monthly installments of HK$3,121. She paid the first installment, but then she stopped paying. Her outstanding debt rose to HK$49,936.
The lender learned from Olarte’s employer and the Immigration Department that she had left Hong Kong on November 11 after being fired.
On February 11, Olarte was arrested at Hong Kong International Airport when she arrived from the Philippines. She was supposed to start working for her new employer the next day.
The court sentenced Olarte to two months in jail after she pleaded guilty to the charge.
Gosh baka pumirma ng blank paper ya
Vina Atay Villanueva cguro nga sis at bukod sun lagi n lng e pg msama ngawa pinay agd broadacast halos ang balita pinay… tsk tsk tsk bkit dman lng ibroadcast ang mga nggawa n mbuti ng pinay.prang sobrang bbait at ggling nmn ata ng ibang lahi kumpra sa atin…. just saying lng ✌
Para po di magulo,basahin nyo po ulit….
Ang kaso advantage by deception….means terminated na,sya nangutang pa,sya….
Intensyon nya tlga Ang manloko….kht mg-iwan pa sya ng pmbayad or magbayad pa sya andun p
Rin ung kaso kc alam nyang terminated na employment nya….nagpanggap pa rin syang ng eexist ito….
Amo nagipulong immigration how come maamuan ti immigration na may utang
Bk umutang yan sis ndi pa naterminate. Kunyari today sya nangutang tas kinabukasan naterminate????????ganu cguro nangyari. Pero dapat magbayad pa din sya
Kaya nga dami sanay mangutang na hindi nagbabayad …..
Mga sis baka nga fake news nga yan. Kc may nabalitaan na ba tayong nakulong dahil sa utang dto. Ala pa nmn. May kilala nga ko .ako pa reference oki lang nmn sya. Pag nalaman na nga ng bangko ng terminated wala na na . Habol na lang sa pinas pero. La din nangyari. Nkbalik na ulit dto yung nangutang wala na syang utang. Kaya lang may karma ang manloko. Ayun umuwi kc pinag forgood na ng asawa. Tas after 3 years balik dto .ayun ala na asawa pinagpalit na sya sa iba. Pagbalik nmn dto ndi na nya binayaran ang utang na iniwan nya. Bka nga fake news yan. Sabagay totoo man o hindi. Dapat wag manloloko .or wag mangungutang ng ndi kayang bayaran. ????
Kaya sya nahuli siguro amo nya ang nag reklamo pero kung bangko malabo kc madami na gumawa nya di naman hinuli kc takot ang banko posible amo nya ang nag reklamo
She need to pay 17months for the bank loan so it means she’s new n the employers house and got terminated…the address and the visa is still valid even she’s terminated cos they dont check n the immigration thats why they allowed her to borrow…only she don’t intend to pay the rest of her loan…that’s a KARMA for her..
Nakulong din fren ko dahil sa ganyan worst mga frens nya nakinabang sa pera, sayang ung new contract nya…
GREEDY ????
Totoo Yan KC my kakilala Rin ako nangutang sya tapoz terminate amo nya pro umuwi sya Ng pinas iniwan n nya ung kinuha nya dito hk
May kilala ako ganyan,sinabihan sy amo namin month of july at irelease sy by nov.the same year,para makahanap p sy ng amo,ang ginawa ny,nangutang s 4 n bank,pagkaalis ny ng nov.sa amo namin,umpisa n magtawag ang mga bank,amo k nakakatanggap ng tawag,kaya nalaman ng amo k n 4 banks pala inutangan ny
dpat mkuntentO kc s sahOd,kung pede iwasan ang pag utang s mga bangko kc jn kau mlulubOng s utang,,kramihan kc pyabangan kung cla ay magbakasyon ndi iisipin n cla dn ang mhihirapan s pagbayad,,cOmment q lng
It’s fake news , bago magrelease ng pera ang bank daming investigation pa, tatawagan pa ang landline sa bahay ng amo, at me garantor pa dyan, panigurado.
Siguro kung naterminate sya after few months of payment pwede pa.
Good for her lier
Confused na cguro cya sistah.
Na terminate na cya after 2 days na ngutang pa cya na gamit hse phone ng amo nya.
Vina Atay Villanueva,
