Whenever you go to Hong Kong, try to visit Statue Square. The place does not only offer a relaxing scenery, it also serves as a place where hundreds of Filipino maids flock there to meet, to chat, and to share their lives during their day offs.
In certain countries abroad, such as in England, only the wealthy and the powerful can afford the services of a female Filipino servant, so having one at home only indicates that that family belongs to the upper class. The rich in Italy have also taken notice of the good qualities of a Filipino servant.
Their exodus abroad may also be linked to their growing popularity, especially in terms of being hard working, dedicated and loyal. Among their other traits well-liked and desired of by their foreign employers are their being hospitable and honest.
Filipino helpers have other distinct qualities and characteristics that ultimately give them the upper hand over other maids coming from other countries. For one, only a maid from the Philippines can stand getting up in the wee hours of the morning and sleeping very late at night to do household chores. Also, nobody else but a Filipino servant can bear cleaning the toilet bowls or doing other dirty jobs while still keeping a smile on her face.
Filipino helpers, whether a college graduate or not, are observed to be naturally intelligent and resourceful. They can pick up instructions without further questions. They, too, work hard without supervision. The word workaholic is indeed, due to a Filipino. She’ll simply work and work and will only stop if said so by her boss. At times, they can also be feisty. They would even argue with their employer about a certain problem. They also know how to find a way and get out from every trial.
One advantage that Filipino servants abroad possess is her fluency in English, thanks to the American colonizers. Compared to Mexicans, Chinese and other nationalities, Filipinos have deeper vocabulary in English and can comprehend better with their employers.
Aside from these, Filipino helpers are generally very warm, sensitive, and affectionate, thus they can easily bond to their foreign employers, considering them as their own families. Because they are so far away from home, they tend to treat their employers as their closest kin. Their employers, touched by this show of affection, also treat these maidservants from the Philippines as part of their family. Because of this, it sort of becomes a habit for these maids to bring pictures and stories of their employers when they go home to the Philippines.
But there is more to the name Filipino than being just called a servant. What makes Filipino maids endear to the heart of the world is not actually the physical looks. More than the hard work and dedication, a Filipino works with a full heart, a simple ingredient that no employer has ever found in other nationalities.
