HONG KONG STORIES 2010: ANOTHER FACE OF FILIPINOS
Filipinos maids, or 'helpers', are members of many Hong Kong families. There are over 120,000 Filipino maids in Hong Kong, accounting for the majority of foreign domestic helpers. They encounter language barrier despite the fact that they have lived in Hong Kong for over 10 years. Many of them also become homesick when they first arrive in Hong Kong. There are also a number of Filipino music artists in Hong Kong. Many of them settle here but have quitted their music career because of intense competition and gloomy economy. For instance, some of them opened fast food restaurants to serve their fellow countrymen. The Filipino generations that were born and grew up in Hong Kong also suffer discrimination. However, they believe self-confidence may help them to get along with the local people in harmony.
