Mr. Chip Tsao a Hong Kong journalist of HK Magazine Online wrote a contemptuous article regarding the rights and dignity of domestic workers. Mr. Tsao makes it appear that it is alright to denigrate Filipino workers in hongkong and take potshots at any filipinos.

Part of Tsao’s column read: “As a nation of servants, you don’t flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter.”

He further wrote that he “summoned Louisa, my domestic assistant who holds a degree in international politics from the University of Manila, hung a map on the wall, and gave her a harsh lecture.”

Tsao threatened to sack his domestic worker should war breaks out between the Philippines and China “because I would not risk the crime of treason for sponsoring an enemy of the state by paying her to wash my toilet and clean my windows 16 hours a day.”

This is a clear display of race and class discrimination as it “tramples on the dignity of our Filipino workers and as human beings.”

“This disgusting, derogatory, and vile remark can only come from dim-witted and mediocre writing. The magazine should apologize straightaway. The article reflects the kind of attitude that promotes abuses against Filipina workers,” Hontiveros said. That is absolutely right!

Mr. Chip Tsao is an unworthy foreign employer and should be banned from going to the Philippines.
