                    [Summary] => Speaker Jose De Venecia Jr. has succeeded in securing an assurance from the Hong Kong government that the new wage policy in the territory, which imposes a HK$400 ($51) levy on the monthly pay of foreign maids, will not be imposed on workers with existing contracts.


This means that 153,000 Filipino domestic servants currently working in Hong Kong will be spared from the levy until their contract expires.


The wage cut will, however, be applicable on their next contract and those who will be hired starting April 1.
