Journalist riles Filipinos with 'nation of servants' slur

[mackycoi]

Reality bites!

If you don't wanna be called a nation of servants then stop being a nation of servants. Unfortunately, the government's OFW propaganda makes it hard for us to remove the branding.

Sakit jud ang kamatooran...

Kinsa may dli servant dri? tanan empleyado servant maski ikaw og ako servant ta sa atong mga amo,or owner sa company,ect.. maski manager paka servant gyapon ka, maski unsa paka basta gadawat kag sweldo servant ka ok?..the main point here is giunsa nya pagka sulat sa iyang article which is bastos ra kaayo.react lng ko kay naa pud koy igsuon nga OFW brod...



"We should be proud that millions of OFWs are able to serve the world, whether as managers, laborers, caregivers or medical prefessionals. There's nothing to be ashamed of as long as we're earning an honest living without having to step on the dignity of others."

My take on this issue:

It is really ironic that a number of Filipinos were offended by Chip Tsao’s article, particularly by the phrase “nation of servants” referring to the Philippines.

If Chip Tsao is racist and so are the majority of the Filipinos! Worse even.

They make fun of the househelps, labeling them “Dong” and “Inday?” Some of these cry babies even created parody website for “Inday.”

They even joked that the plaza is a place only for the “Dongs” and “Indays” and even cringe when they go to such place.

These double standard Pinoys were already insulting the servants before Chip Tsao did.

Racism and ethnical insult in Manila television and movie, even in born-again Christian churches has been going on unchecked.

Wake up.

The Filipinos Should NOT feel insulted by Chip Tsao

The author of the article personally went to the Consulate to apologize. Apparently, he wanted the article to sound satiric but some, if not most of his readers treated it otherwise. By now, he might have realized he needs to practice more if he wants to convey something else to his readers.

At the very least, our OFWs know that they have earned so much respect from our kababayans here. We did not tolerate those writings which could have offended our OFWs. On the contrary, we condemned it. I hope we delivered the message well to the world that we should not be taken for granted.

You cant blame the person most filipinos in hong kong are domestic helpers but he should have never wrote that, its politically incorrect....
