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.

I also had a rather ‘unsupervised’ and rather ‘unusual childhood’ to say the least. I was glad for the distraction because it at least in part meant I could attempt to concentrate on other things. As an adult, the ADD child judges himself mercilessly and often tries to be perfect in a desperate attempt to shield his shame. What do you say to a naked couple when you happen to ride upon them on horseback? Need I say more? I did go riding one more time with Bob – he did not go because of me but rather because of some friends who had the brilliantly wonderful idea of going to a horse ranch as a day trip. I’m a veritable Lucille Ball going through life minding my own business and these things just HAPPEN. They shriek, ”the world’s going to end in 2012”. No, it’s not. “It’s usually both the performers who end up talking, more than Erika Lust being involved in the conversation,” Rooster says. For this, she put on weight and she says that she has not been able to lose all of it. “Intense language as a use of force can be just as intense, or even more intense, as consensually degrading physical sensations, such as impact play,” Horn says.

America, and perhaps existence itself is a cascade of empty promises and advertisements — that is to say, fantasy worlds, expectations that will never be realized “IRL”, but perhaps consumed briefly in small snatches of commodified pleasure. Newspapers at home were suddenly filled with death notices of men killed in action — 2,000 every day. What they’re asking me to do is kind of just do something I do every day and I possibly find quite difficult so they can get off on it,’ she says. You can start with a Blogger blog with your own domain name (without a custom domain looks unprofessional). If you like helping others by sharing your knowledge, start making decent income by answering questions. I don’t think it’s immoral or wrong to make a porn video, I believe women should have the absolute right to gain an income any way they choose. Have you ever visited the caves of Ajanta and Elora in India? The popularity of online video grows so it will not have to worry if you jump into the market.
