                    [Summary] => President Arroyo dispatched Labor Secretary Patricia Sto. Tomas to Hong Kong yesterday to lobby against a 20 percent cut in minimum wages for maids in the special administrative region, where some 152,000 Filipinos work as domestic helpers.


Presidential Spokesman Rigoberto Tiglao said Sto. Tomas was sent on the special mission in response to requests of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) for Malacañang’s official representation with Hong Kong authorities.


He denied accusations that the President was "selling out" Filipina maids by backing the pay cut.
