Filipina Domestic Worker In US Won A P43 Million Worth Case Against Former Employers

Although the court went in favor of the overseas Filipino worker (OFW) who was overworked and underpaid, her former employer has decided to file an appeal, which Alzate and Sayas’ firm is ready to fight.

The couple has since reportedly hired three people to take shifts, doing what Alzate did all by herself. While Alzate was not paid based on the minimum wage, these new workers are reportedly receiving minimum wage, together amounting to what should’ve been paid to Alzate while she was working.

“The trial court’s judgment in favor of our nanny client is based on good facts and good law.  Make no mistake about it,” said Sayas.  “We will vigorously fight for the worker on appeal.”

Before Alzate’s case, her lawyer recovered $500,000 for two domestic employees and $425,000 for a security guard.

This amount is deemed the highest pure wage claim awarded to a domestic worker. “The court’s judgment is a victory for Ms. Alzate, especially in the face of a vigorous opposition that did not concede any dime of wages that was owed to her,” said the law firm which represented the Filipina on trial in a press release. “It was a testament to the courage of this Filipina to have pursued her claims all the way up to the trial,” the law firm stated. Alzate filed the case and sought to receive what was owed to her by her employers in salary. At that time, she was paid a fixed monthly rate regardless of how long she worked. Alzate said she was made to work 18 to 24 hours a day. The Domestic Workers Bill of Rights states that domestic workers who worked long hours like Alzate and who are employed to take care of children and the elderly should be given overtime pay.Although the court went in favor of the overseas Filipino worker (OFW) who was overworked and underpaid, her former employer has decided to file an appeal, which Alzate and Sayas’ firm is ready to fight.

large percentage of Filipina domestic workers can be found in Hong Kong. According to Association of Hong Kong Agencies (AHKA) data, the number of documented Filipina domestic workers in the region reached almost about 200,000 as of January 2017. This list does not include the undocumented ones. They are mothers who left their own children and household to take care of someone else's home and kids for the promise of better earnings. They don't care if they are being humiliated or discriminated. All they know is that they are doing the sacrifice for the betterment of the future of their family back home.

READ: Bringing Back the OFWs Home, Still Top Priority Of The Duterte Gov't

Justin is a son of Hong Kong film director Alfred Cheung Kin-ting. He has finished editing a documentary that tackles the condition of domestic workers in Hong Kong.

Most of them were experiencing racism and discrimination. Yes, even in a Hong Kong textbook, the portrayal of a Filipino is just lowly domestic helpers.

Justin realized that they are more than domestic workers and how most people in Hong Kong treat them is very wrong. It just need to end somehow or at least make them realize their value as human being.

Cheung is planning a special screening in Hong Kong in December, and expects the film to be seen in local schools and international film festivals.

“I want to show it at schools to make people aware that it is easy to dehumanise someone when you don’t know their back story,” he said.

“I also hope this film can create a legacy for her. I want my kids to know that it wasn’t just my dad, my mum … but there was also this other person, although she never appears in the family photos.”

We just hope that somehow this documentary would open the minds of the employers of the domestic workers, not only in Hong Kong but to every part of the world, to treat them well. They are house helpers, not slaves and they never deserve to be treated wrongly, realizing their contribution to instill values in the minds of the young children they are taking care of.
