"We are all trying to make money to subsidize our families, mainly because our families are too poor to come out to work, there is really no way, we can't wait to starve to death at home!"

Zhou Sen saw helplessness in the eyes of this Filipino maid, "Yes, who doesn't want to live a good life, the poor who have no money can understand the helplessness and troubles of having no money, life is very realistic, firewood, rice, oil and salt, everything needs money, if you want to live in real life and live, you have to overcome difficulties, make money, support your family, and need employment, but the Philippines has these traditional industries, and young male workers are recruited in factories, and a small number of female workers are also recruited." ”

"When you get older, you can't find a job in a factory, and in the face of this reality, there is a large population and few jobs, so some women have set their sights on jobs that are more suitable for them, women are very suitable for domestic service, go to foreigners' homes to do some housework, the workload is also very bearable, and it will not be too hard. ”

"They also have to do housework in their own homes, take care of their husbands, take care of the elderly, take care of children, do laundry, cook, these are exactly what they are good at. ”

"So they give full play to their strengths, and they can make money, many of them are live-in maids, living in the employer's house, and also improving the original poor home environment, following the foreigners to eat a lot of good things, as long as they can provide a good working environment, and can pay salaries, the maids are willing to continue to work. ”

"They feel that it is very honorable to rely on their own labor to eat, and they do not feel that being a maid is inferior, but they feel very honorable, relying on their own ability, they can go to work in the homes of overseas foreigners, export laborers, make money to support their families, and can feed their children, such women are very honorable!"

When it comes to the quality of Filipino maids, it is different, most Filipino maids have no formal training, and generally gain experience by asking fellow villagers, asking neighbors' maids for advice, and learning from hostesses.

"Why are Filipino maids so famous overseas? What are their strengths?" this is what Zhou Sen wanted to ask, with such curiosity, he interviewed many Filipino maid training institutions.

There are professional training institutions in the Philippines, but only some Filipino maids can pay money to go to training schools, and some Filipino maids with poor families cannot go to training schools.

Some non-governmental navigation schools and nursing schools are indeed very serious about cultivating relevant talents, and there are special certificates after graduation, and these training schools also increase the work skills of Filipino maids, if they can learn some nursing-related knowledge, they can add points to Filipino maids, and they can also be welcomed by employers.

Some Filipino maids have established a good reputation in overseas markets, and some employers will come to them to hire Filipino maids in intermediaries.

Usually go to remote provinces to recruit people, as long as they pass the main aspects such as language, appearance, health, etc., and simply teach various basic skills, they can enter the "expatriate" stage, as for those with less favorable conditions, they will stay in the Philippines for exercise.

In order to be able to go to the Filipino maid in a short period of time to work quickly, a short-term training was carried out, generally after training, the Filipino maids have mastered the essentials of housekeeping, know what the employer needs, what is taboo, the language training is also very good, English is very good, very fluent, although a little local accent, but the employers can basically understand.

Because the most demanded ordinary household full-time maids in foreign countries, their scope of work is mainly simple labor such as buying vegetables and cooking, washing and ironing beds, cleaning and tidying up the room, etc., which do not require complex training, but senior and professional domestic helpers or housekeeper maids must be trained, and this part is not in high demand.

"Generally, foreigners have a special housekeeper at home, and those who come to hire Filipino maids are just satisfied with basic daily life and can do some simple housework, if they want to hire professional financial experts, or accountants, makeup artists, and beauticians, they will hire professional personnel, and will not consider hiring Filipino maids. ”

"And the age of hiring Filipino maids is also very lenient, some middle-aged women of some ages can still be hired by employers, it doesn't matter if they are older, they can do simple housework, their hands and feet are nimble, and they can be diligent. ”

The popularity of Filipino maids is mainly due to their unique congenital conditions, because the Philippines implements bilingual education, English and Tagalog are the official languages, the English level of the maid can be imagined, and this is thanks to its education system, if it is specially trained for the export of labor, the cost and effect are not the same.

"As long as you have a good language, you can easily communicate, communicate with your employer, and quickly understand what your employer needs, and it is still important to have a common language, if you have different languages, you can't communicate, you can't work as a domestic helper. ”

Most of the Filipinos are patient, kind, Catholic, optimistic, simple, tolerant, easy to adapt to foreign cultures and unfamiliar environments.

"Yes, the character of the Filipino maid is still very gentle, because of poverty, there is no way to quarrel with the employer, and she is afraid of being fired if she collides with the employer, so usually, she will not collide with the employer, because the maids want to stay in the employer's family for a long time to work, and they need living expenses too much, which is the reason why the Filipino maid has a good temper. ”

"Yes, due to poverty, because of poverty, there is no money, people really have no choice, wealth is talented, no money, to work in other people's homes, can only suffer a little grievance, Filipino maids are still very patient, as long as the employer is not too excessive, generally patient. ”

"Most of the people who go to work as maids are Filipino women, and there are also a few men, engaged in some manual labor, men help take care of the vegetable garden, garden, gardener, do some heavy physical work, can help the employer's family reduce the burden of housework, so that the employer can free up more time and energy to make money, work, and save a lot of effort!"

In the Philippines, it is very common for middle-class families to have maids, it is said that in Egypt, if there is no Filipino maid, even if they are rich, they will not be regarded as upper-class, in Italy, Filipino maids are more sought-after because of their cleanliness, honesty, and Catholicism.

"That's it for the trip to the Philippines, there are some other cities, the scale is not as large as these three cities, we have selected these attractions to introduce to you, I hope you have something to gain, and welcome everyone to come to the Philippines next time." Gonzalez said.

Zhou Sen nodded, "Thank you, for the introduction and hospitality during this time, I am very happy to come to the Philippines, I have seen a lot of scenic spots, and I have also learned some local customs of the Philippines!"
