Why do maids of rich pinoy wear uniforms?

finally somebody from media nakabantay na ani,

Why do maids have to wear uniforms?

even before the article was written, I myself find it a little weird and degrading if mayordomas and rich pinoys let their maid wear uniform in public, for me its a kind of discrimination against maids. I saw rich celebrities like Sharon CUneta or the Aquinos doing this.

dont get me wrong, back in my younger years (in my hometown) we have a lot of helpers, but we dont call them maids as what my parents taught us, they are 'helpers' or kasambahay, katabang sa mga buhatonon and not slaves.

Letting maids wore uniform is the rich pinoy version of segragation and discrimination against those much 'lower' than them.
maybe its the right time that more pinoy must be aware of these kind of human degradation by our own race.

just sharing...

For me lang ha, I don't think naay sayop kung mag uniform ang maids. Mas presentable pa na sya kaysa walay uniform. And I disagree na ang uniform is a form of discrimination but how their employers handle them. Even mga caregiver naa man gani uniform nga we all know dili sayon ang work nila nga manlimpyo pa nag hugaw sa laing tawo. Gi discriminate ba na sila kay nag uniform? Wala. Kay tarong mana nga trabaho unya dakog sweldo.

Kanang uniform kay dili man gyud na mandatory per the Kasambahay Law. Need pa mo agree ang amo ug ang maid.

Wala sa uniform ang problema, naa sa batasan sa amo ug sa mga tawo nga mo daug-daug ug maid.

I grew up seeing helpers around us wear uniforms, tanan actually sa compound namo,.I didn't mind asking nalang pud, and didn't even wonder why ingana. So far, we never heard them complain or made them feel that they were discriminated. Tarong man sad ang pagtrato sa ilaha, In fact they were given full benefits. It's all about how they are treated and how they treat themselves.
Makaingon lang jud ko nga there are boundaries between them and their employers, They have their own sleeping lounge, their own dining and their own place nga tambayan. I don't find anything wrong with it especially now that I pay my own helper, I treat her na murag part ra sa family, gave her access and trusted her with everything but in the end mag ABUSAR ra jud! .. lesson learned, sometimes we just have to make them realize that they are here to work and not make them think nga sila ang amo!

there's nothing wrong with it.. Besides mas nindot gani ang mga maids mag wear ug uniform hilabi na kato naka all white na type mura sila ug pharmacist or nurse tan-awon.

I don't see anything wrong with helpers wearing uniforms. Before, I also had the same thought as yours TS but then I realized I was just thinking too much. They actually look good and neat with uniforms.
