Hong Kong vs Filipina domestic helper's bid for permanent residency

| Domestic Helpers |
Hong Kong gears up for the latest labour case. A Filipina tries her bid to win a permanent residency in Hong Kong. A Filipina domestic helper launched a case when her attempt to be a legal permanent resident has been denied even though she has been living in Hong Kong since 1986.
Under Hong Kong law, a non-citizen can file for a permanent residency if they have stayed in the country for seven consecutive years. They will be entitled to voting and have permanent access to public services. Unfortunately every non-citizen with different jobs are entitled to this benefit expect foreign domestic workers.
Hong Kong is considered on top of the domestic helpers chain and is better off their counterparts which include Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan where their salaries are lower. In Malaysia domestic helpers are often abused and mistreated. The case is up for debate.
Pro's for domestic helpers to get permanent residency
1) They will have human rights
2) This gives Hong Kong a status and show's that they equality in the country
3) Healthy ties between nations.
Con's for domestic helpers to set permanent residency
1) This will increase the number of domestic helpers coming into Hong Kong which mean they are entitled to bring their families and this would increase in costs for Hong Kong.
2) Hong Kong might change their laws and shortened the number of years of service for a domestic helper so that they could not apply for a permanent residency.
In my opinion, they should allow this Filipina domestic helper to have her permanent resident. She has been in the country and of course, she would want a better life. But sometimes other countries or people might abuse or beat the system in their favor. Domestic helpers might abuse this system and use it as a gateway for other jobs or to to cross to other countries for a better opportunity. In the end, it's the up to the Hong Kong officials to settle this debate.

Hi! You may call me Stuck in the Philippines because I am literally stuck in the Philippines! I'm just kidding. My name is Kristian. This is my first blog and it first started out as travel blog. But then I started involving my love for the entertainment scene mainly the movies and concerts scene. Once I started blogging, I couldn't stop.
A little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Dubai (U.A.E) until I went to Arizona (U.SA). You could say I love traveling. For the record, I am a Filipino. I just lived and studied abroad. A graduate of Southern New Hampshire University and Maine High School graduate, I feel that life has more to offer. I'm a Business Administration graduate but this is something I feel that I am passionate about. I love to breakdance but I'm not getting any younger. I like traveling but that requires a lot of cash. But I love to explore.
Since I love traveling, I first started this blog as a travel blog and I was bored. Anyway, once I arrived in the Philippines, I decided to stay for awhile and adapt to the Filipino way of life. Trust me! It wasn't easy since I had to adjust from scratch! But everything turned out well.
How I started blogging? It was when a friend suggested that I should blog. My first thought of blogging is that it was a boring job and besides what do I blog about? Voila! That's how my blogging world began and now I'm hooked! Now I mainly blog about events, news, movies, concerts and travel! A lot huh? By the way, I do make some grammar mistakes on my blog but hey nobody is perfect! =)
If you have any ideas, suggestions, please don't hesitate to drop me a line. You may contact me at kristianmarfori at gmail dot com . You may call/text preferably text me at +639166464362. Please state your name, email, contact details and inquiry.
Much love!
