Filipino Maid-Their true value that must be Imitated

By Alice Sy


A Filipino maid undoubtedly exists along with any maid agency in the world. Wherever there is a household in need of a maid worldwide, the resilient Filipino can travel all the way from the Philippines just to lend a helping hand. We may see them as just that, a helper, but there is something deeper to them and their job, something we can all learn from.

Most domestic workers have one thing in common: sacrifice. For sure life has not been easy to them. Being born under the wings of poverty in a third world country, survival is a lifetime challenge. Their condition can only be remedied if one member manages to leave the country, even family to work. Any job is good, working as a maid is a dream and a maid agency is like a genie to these workers.

A domestic helper is the most humble of them all, we can copy that. Imagine the humility anyone has to possess along with patience and understanding to serve others and do all tasks ordered by the employer, no matter how trivial. Yes, serving other is hard, but on the bright side, you're helping them.

Ever witnessed a sad helper video involving the maid and her family? There are many stories behind a worker separated from the family. Most Filipino maids belong to the poorest families in the Philippines and they work hard not for themselves but for their family as well. In the end, all the sacrifice and hard work is for a family left behind, not for one's self.

Doing Household chores is not an enjoyable task. Yet a Filipino maid has been considered an expert. This is all due to one's hard work, positive attitude, love for family and above all for God that the Filipino helper manages to survive. If we can all live like the Filipino maid, what a wonderful warm world it will be indeed.
