Filipinas are servant.

A couple of days ago, a racist have announced his anger towards a group of fellow human beings, the Filipino race, and his name is Chip Tsao. He made this action because of the issue on Spratly Islands. To further know more about him, Chip Tsao is a best-selling author and a columnist. BBC's former reporter, his columns have also appeared in Apple Daily, Next Magazine and CUP Magazine and others. With the said news, Filipinos from all over the world started to throw words to the said person.

Title:

The War At Home

The Russians sank a Hong Kong freighter last month, killing the seven Chinese seamen on board. We can live with that—Lenin and Stalin were once the ideological mentors of all Chinese people. The Japanese planted a flag on Diàoyú Island. That's no big problem—we Hong Kong Chinese love Japanese cartoons, Hello Kitty, and shopping in Shinjuku, let alone our round-the-clock obsession with karaoke.

But hold on—even the Filipinos? Manila has just claimed sovereignty over the scattered rocks in the South China Sea called the Spratly Islands, complete with a blatant threat from its congress to send gunboats to the South China Sea to defend the islands from China if necessary. This is beyond reproach. The reason: there are more than 130,000 Filipina maids working as $3,580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong. As a nation of servants, you don't flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter.

As a patriotic Chinese man, the news has made my blood boil. I summoned Louisa, my domestic assistant who holds a degree in international politics from the University of Manila, hung a map on the wall, and gave her a harsh lecture. I sternly warned her that if she wants her wages increased next year, she had better tell every one of her compatriots in Statue Square on Sunday that the entirety of the Spratly Islands belongs to China.

Grimly, I told her that if war breaks out between the Philippines and China, I would have to end her employment and send her straight home, because I would not risk the crime of treason for sponsoring an enemy of the state by paying her to wash my toilet and clean my windows 16 hours a day. With that money, she would pay taxes to her government, and they would fund a navy to invade our motherland and deeply hurt my feelings.

Oh yes. The government of the Philippines would certainly be wrong if they think we Chinese are prepared to swallow their insult and sit back and lose a Falkland Islands War in the Far East. They may have Barack Obama and the hawkish American military behind them, but we have a hostage in each of our homes in the Mid-Levels or higher. Some of my friends told me they have already declared a state of emergency at home. Their maids have been made to shout "China, Madam/Sir" loudly whenever they hear the word "Spratly." They say the indoctrination is working as wonderfully as when we used to shout, "Long live Chairman Mao!" at the sight of a portrait of our Great Leader during the Cultural Revolution. I'm not sure if that's going a bit too far, at least for the time being.

end of article.

This man really thinks that he knows everything. What if, all of a sudden, all Filipinos (servants as he just entitled) just move out of Hong Kong? What would happen to the economy of his country? First, mothers will start to leave their respective works because they will be the one to do all the household jobs and the priority is taking care of their child or children. With these absentees, companies will not be able to move forward, income will be lessen and eventually a downfall for the economy.

A country will not defend a mistake done by a single person and we know that Hong Kong will not sacrifice its entire citizen and economy because of what Chip Tsao said. Remember that racism is an insult and an insult you gave is insults you gain.

He can do this over and over to shake up our corrupt politicians.

Or these rich/proud thieves are not bothered so I maybe just wasting my effort to encourage him.

That number ($3580) is unrealistic.....I have been there and call BS on that salary.

Said thing is, most of them have college degrees, and a good percentage have advanced degrees. Sixth largest English speaking nation in the world. That blows a big whole in the whole public education debate.

Lets not compare Chip Tsao with all Chinese. Although, I'd prefer an illegal Chinese over an illegal Mexican anytime. But, they're still illegals which makes it illegal.

I have heard some people say Philippines is like Mexico without the Islands.

They do have a lot in common, I assume since they are both Spanish Colonies.

But in PI you tend to have a lot more educated people.

[Krikit 1,165]

It sounds like a tongue-in-cheek commentary to me. Not racist at all.

I agree! Please do not take any offense Mexicans. Well, you might.

Why isn't there alot of educated Mexicans? Is it because of the Music or Drugs? I accept the damage I done to myself by posting this.

It is a sad reality that, in spite of the college (and some even post-graduate) studies, Filipinos cannot find enough employment opportunities in the Philippines that would allow a good quality of life. This "brain drain" has been a long-standing issue as a lot of the educated are leaving the country.

As to the issue of the Spratly Islands, that too is a long-standing "It's mine! No, it's mine!" game that the Philippines, China and a few other countries have played.

Here's more info about this controversial group of islands.
