THE EAR - The Philippine Star

DOMESTIC HELPERS. The Kasambahay Bill, which seeks to give our domestic helpers a better deal, has hit another snag. This bill, which our housemaids and houseboys have been hoping will be passed into law, has been languishing in Congress for 18 years. “Mapasar ba gyud kaha ni no?” many are asking one another.

SUSPICION. Some observers suspect there is a strong lobby against the bill led by powerful people with many household helpers. For under the bill, it cost much to meet the requirements for every hired helper. “Mag-uwan linugaw kun mapasar kining maong balaudnon,” a knowledgeable sidewalk observer said.
