A total of 19 pairs of foreign domestic workers and their employers were presented with Long Service Awards by the Association of Employment Agencies (Singapore) at an annual awards ceremony at the Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium on February 11.
Maria Aida Procalla Somejo, 59, who was the longest-serving award recipient and has worked for the Choo family in Singapore for the past 28 years, received the award along with her employer’s youngest daughter, whom the Filipina is most attached to, the Straits Times reported.
This is because when the youngest girl started to speak, she referred to Somejo as “Mama”, instead of calling her “Auntie” as her sisters did, according to Choo Yuen Ling, 30, the oldest daughter of Somejo’s employer.
When the family corrected the girl from time to time, she refused to change.
As a result, Somejo, despite being single, has unexpectedly raised four “daughters” whom she sometimes took care of seven days a week as their mother was so busy with her own job.
Over the years, Somejo reportedly became an expert in Chinese cuisine, with her signature dishes including dumplings, roasted barbecued pork and lotus root soup, and the Choos have treated Somejo like family because the Filipina has been doing the same for them.
In 2013, when Typhoon Haiyan destroyed the home of the Somejo’s relatives, her employer and one of her daughters donated money to help them rebuild their house.
And a few years back, Somejo turned down an offer of a pay rise, as she was aware that the family had to take care of their money as the four girls were still in school.
As well as to Somejo, other long service awards went to three Filipinas, eight Indonesians, four Sri Lankans, three workers from Myanmar and one Indian.
My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

This is really a great site.
Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to
get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance.
I must say that you’ve done a fantastic job with this.
In addition, the blog loads very quick for me on Opera.
Outstanding Blog!
For the reason that the admin of this site is working, no
uncertainty very rapidly it will be well-known, due to its quality contents.
Hi there, its pleasant paragraph about media print, we all be aware of
media is a enormous source of data.
That’s why cross-border shopping can be a much easier way to enter the Chinese market without the need for unique licenses to offer in China. What is the Cross Border shopping? China’s Cross Border ecommerce is an outstanding chance to go into the Chinese market. Why open on a cross-border ecommerce website? We can locate almost everything on this cross-border internet site. On this platform you can find 5 different sorts of items: bags, style devices, cosmetics, food and baby products. Ask using an internet online search engine; it will certainly locate vendors for you. The virtually 7 million active vendors on Taobao pay to place higher on the website’s interior online search engine, producing marketing profits for Alibaba that looks like Google’s core business model. Ma chose to look for beer. Since the sellers from Taobao have a less complicated accessibility to the products directly from the main resource at factory rates. Tmall Global has planned every little thing: the payments are received by the business in their own currencies which make it a lot more easier. This indicates that buyers do not have to fret about international currencies or the exchange rates.
This is the right blog for anyone who wants to understand this topic.
You know a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not
that I really would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh
spin on a subject which has been discussed for a long time.
Great stuff, just excellent!
I believe what you published was actually very logical. However, think about this, suppose you were to create a killer post title? I am not saying your information is not good, however what if you added something to possibly grab a person’s attention? I mean Filipina acclaimed for 28 years of dedication is kinda plain. You should peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they write news headlines to grab viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab people excited about what you’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it might bring your website a little bit more interesting.
