A senior official from the Philippine Consulate has become alarmed at cancer rates among domestic workers from her country in Hong Kong.
The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration of the Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong plans to compile a database of domestic workers who have become ill in the city.
The idea started when Virsie Tamayao, the Welfare Attaché, was baffled after her office handled many medical cases involving cancer patients, the sunwebhk.com reported.
However, Tamayao could not provide exact figures due to a lack of statistics. At the end of June, a female worker suffering from cancer went home. At about the same time, a former domestic worker who had overstayed in Hong Kong for 10 years was taken to hospital in Kowloon with advanced-stage cancer.
Recently, long-time mission volunteer Violy Macatol went home after falling seriously ill with a rare type of blood cancer. Lily Jimenez, a political activist in Hong Kong for more than 20 years, also flew home after being diagnosed with late-stage bone cancer.
Tamayao, who had also been assigned to Abu Dhabi and South Korea, said only in Hong Kong she had seen cancer so prevalent among domestic workers. She said she wanted to study people’s lifestyles, what they eat, their stress levels and working environment to compile a database.
She said the administration had been preparing its first-semester report on death statistics and hopefully, could make a comparative study on the causes.
first problem is food,,,food,, food..those employer who just given not enough food and give always noodles..and a little bit of rice..to their helper..what can we get from noodles? so only cancer is benifeted in this kind of food..plus helper is working 6:00a.m to 12 med night…lucky those are not victim of this kind of setuation..god bless all..we are hoping for the solution of this matter…

Much agree po ako jan, kasi food din ang isang problema ko dito.. Laging reheat..
Buti nga po kung overnyt lang sakin inaabot ng 3 or 4 na araw pa
And food in singapore is always fresh kasi most of employers there ayaw nila ng overnyt foods.. I worked there for 13 yrs but i never had this kind of problems.
Depende po sa klase ng sakit ne meron po sa tao, pero mostly po sa cancer, is buong katawan nanghihina and pain always feel tired kahit di ka pa nagtatrabaho.
Steve Goodlay Show who you really are, don’t hide with a fake profile less fb account.
Maybe because og the foods all from china.. Alots of chemicals..
Hindi naman kami food allowance but we can cook everything we want even though my employer is in the kitchen watching me and she has no comnent and when we go to the market she always tell us buy more food for yourselves so don’t say maids with no food allowance are only eating instant noodles not ALL MAIDS DO THAT!!!
i think stress mostly na dahilan at social imbalance.mag day off nga ilang oras lang,may curfew pa
Steve Goodlay what do you mean by " dirty foreigners for extras"? Explain briefly plz.
The last patient who died with cancer was my best friend…????????????
Amanda Sophia Perez yes s mostly sa blood ntenetest kung may mga sakit ang tao but they are doing different procedures to test the blood accordingly..in singapore they test for pregnancy and HIV kasi yon ang concern ng MOM kasi alam nila na maraming Filipina nakikipagboyfriend sa Singapore.I know that coz I worked in Singapore for 10 years.Ang case dito sa HK is different,Vulnerable tayo sa ibang sakit like cancer kasi we are using strong chemicals that can ruin our health lalo na some houses dito is not well ventilated.so matagal na nagestay ang particles sa isang place kasi di makalabas agad dahil maliliit at masikip ang mga bahay.di gaya sa singapore mas malalaki bahay doon kahit mga government houses malaki compare dito sa hk.
