  1. If this were true, how disgusting. The Philippines is in need of an overhaul in terms of workers rights.

    3. KUNG PERSONAL ASSISTANT KA EH PERSONAL ASSISTANT KA. HINDI KA KASAMBAHAY O YAYA. AND VICE VERSA. AT FYI LAHAT NG TAO NATUTULOG. NAGPAPAHINGA. DI NAMAN PWEDE 24/7 AT YOUR BECK AND CALL. DI NA USO SLAVERY NGAYON. MAG HIRE KA NG 6 NA TAO. PARA RELYEBO SILA KUNG GUSTO MO NA 24/7 MAY ASSISTANT KA O YAYA O KASAMBAHAY. TAO UN HINIRE MO. DI ROBOT.

  2. Naku Ruffa, lagot! Bakit naman ganyan ang ginagawa mo sa katulong mo? Kung may nangyari sa kanila nung pinalabas mo e di mas malala pa sana ikakaso sayo.

  4. I don't like this guanzon ha pero di yan kukuda kung wala yang alam at pinanghahawakan, dekada na yan sa public service at ilang death threats at mga kalaban na pinagdaanan nyan i don't think may kinakatakutan pa yan e mga Marcos nga binardagulan nyan e

  5. The house help’s statements don’t seem congruent. Thought Ruffa was at taping that’s why they can’t leave the house but Guanzon is also saying one of them is overworked for staying up until 2AM bec she’s with her at taping?

    1. Magkaiba ang duties ng helper sa bahay at personal assistant, at kung 2 am na yun aba dapat may overtime pay yan

      Di dapat na ginagawa PA ang house maid

      Delete
    2. Yaya. PA, Kasambahay all rolled into one. In short, slave. Kaya 2 weeks pa lang gusto na umalis. Masisisi mo ba sila?

      Delete
    3. sinasama sa taping ang house help

  6. Always two sides to every story. I also have a written contract for new house helps that if they don’t get to stay for a year , then I would deduct the expenses paid for travel and medical tests on their last salary. It’s a modus of some helpers to apply just so they could travel to Manila for free! And then they leave you after a week. Employers must be wary too.

    1. I very much agree.. There's 2 sides to a story and I have encountered din mga kasambahay na abot-langit ang stress mo kasi nagpapavictim kesyo gutom na gutom daw kagabi pa na akala mo hindi namin pinakain at ang sama daw ng ugali namin samantalang 1 day pa lang sya samin galing agency.. Meron din naman 1-week from province namasahe ka pa plane biglang aalis kasi nabobored daw bantay ng bata.. Nakakainis din talaga.. And I had once plane din tas yun pala pokpok sya as in the night dumating sa amin, biglang nawala..sobrang sorry nun nagrefer.. I'm siding with Ruffa here..

    2. True naman pero bakit disoras mg gabi papaalisin? Hindi makapag intay ng umaga para naman sure na may masasakyan at matutuluyan ng maayos yung mga prev househelp?

    5. 1:36 You should try joining kasambay groups on Facebook and see how demanding these people are nowadays lol

    6. There are even helpers who say 8k a month is too low for them! Que horror mga helpers!

    7. 1:36 If they just used you to get a free plane ticket to Manila, trust me, they won’t think twice about leaving. LOL

    8. Anon 12:25 &anon 12:59 totoong totoo! May personal experience kami sa ganyan.

    9. 136 hindi rin. Sobrang dami jan gusto lang makaluwas for free. Swerte mo kung matapat ka sa maayos.

    10. Ikaw a amg PERFECT 136AM!!! Ako nga eh lahat ginawa ko amg mabuti as an amo pero katulong ginawan pa ako ng kwento! Yun pala talagang ginamiy lang kami para makapunta ng Maynila. Nagdala pa ng anak nya

    11. 1:36
      No. Of course not, grabe ka naman. May mga house help na modus nila na mag apply then parang gagawin ka lang board and lodging until they can find the job they are waiting for or worse may jowa pala na taga MNL tapos ginamit ka lang para magkita sila.

      Delete
    12. 1:36 not always the case! meron din mga pasaway at taking advantage na mga tao 😳

      Delete
    13. Si 1.36 halatang di employer 🤣 ang napansin ko na incongruent ay yung sinasabing inosenteng taga barrio yung mga maid, but obviously marunong kasi nakapagpa document via blotter yung relative.

      Anyway, nagsespeculate lang naman tayo pare pareho, but based on experience, mahirap maghandle ng maid na masyadong marunong /dunong dunongan. Usually sila yung mahilig gumawa ng gulo

    14. We live in the same village and may issue kasi sa pirating ng mga helpers. Ang sa tingin ko nangyari sa kanila. Un dalawa helpers may kamag anak na helper din sa same village, kaya sila atat umalis na two weeks palang is may lilipatan na agad sila. Usually, pag proven ng employer na si helper lumipat sa ibang bahay sa same village dito pwede nila i-ban si helper sa village. Dati ngang driver ng father in law ko nakita ko sa isang bahay walking distance lang sa bahay ng in laws ko. Saka fyi, sa village dito weekly may newspaper may ads sa likod looking for helpers etc.. kaya makita lang nila un mga ads may lilipatan na sila. Minsan kasi ndi alam ng ibang tao buong situation. Di rin ako agree sa sinabi ni Guanzon na kung may utang helper basta gusto umalis eh paalisin mo. Kaya lumalakas din loob ng mga yan. Sobra agrabyado din mga employer.

  7. Not really a big fan of ruffa but need pa ba ito gawing national issue? Ka di na ako kumuha ng kasambahay dahil most of them medyo abusado. Can't side with anyone on this issue. Pero congresswoman naman, parang di bagay sa tulad mo, na sa yo pa nanggaling tong issue na to.

  9. theres a kasambahay reference law na if a househelp resigns without prior notice, employer can deduct 2 weeks' worth of salary. and yes, usually employers have agreement with househelp that the medical costs will be deducted if they dont last 3 months to 6 months. especially these covid times helpers are asked to quarantine first, with quarantine paid if they last up to a certain time but deducted if they leave earlier. pwede ba yun free food and lodging no work? pwede ba yun na service deluxe tapos aalis sila then paid pa sila? all of these are agreed upon and if they don't agree, then they shouldnt have come. but me, i never argue with employees. if they want to leave, theyre free to do so anytime. and never at such late times. ang gulo ni cong. guanzon.. sabi involuntary servitude dahil di pinayagang umalis. o di dapat pinaalis ng ganong oras ano po ang tama? wait till next morning pero baka involuntary servitude na naman?

    1. What if a househelp wants to leave after she got the last salary?

      To answer your question, ruffa should have asked them if they still want to leave even at night.

      Delete
    2. Kung babasahin ang batas kasambahay unfair sa employers sa totoo lang. jan lang sa binanggit mo na of a househelp resigns without prior notice, yan lang napansin ko na medyo fair sa employer but almost all other items are to protect and favor the kasambahay. Okay naman sakin yun na protected sila pero sana pa tay lang na protected din ang employers. Madami naman mababait na employers na naaabuso ng mga walanghiyang kasambahay. Alam ko may mababait din kagaya nung isa samin kaya mahal na mahal namin sya at hindi pinapabayan pati ang pamilya nya. Pero mas madami po ang mapagsamantala.

  11. Growing up we never had household workers even if we can afford. Meron kami tagapaglaba once a week pumupunta and we treated her like family. Kung Ano food namin, yun din food nya. After her work, bukod Sa pera na bayad namin Sa kanya May bigas pa kami na binibigay Sa kanya kc yun ang utos Sa min ng parents namin. Mahirap magmenos ng kapwa dahil masamang karma ang balik nun sau

  12. Is this her job ? Is this within her job description as congresswoman? To go after supposed maltreatment of helpers if celebrities?

    1. 1:46 Clearly you didn’t watch the interview, the housekeepers came from the hometown of her Dad that’s why the person (who is her sorority mate) who took care of the two househelp asked for her assistance . She said Ilonggos help each other basta in need. Please watch it, more on pakiki kapwa kaya tumutulong.

    2. 1:46am, kababayan from Negros Occidental ang helpers. The urge to help is there for her.

      Porke't kasambahay, no need na tulungan? Plus the fact na celebrity ang employer nila.

    3. This is anyone’s job, kung may malasakit ka sa kapwa tumulong ka. If you see something that’s not right, you have to say something.

    4. Why is she using social media to address this issue ? Shouldnt she refer the case to DOLE ? Or refer the case to the baranggay ?

      Delete
    5. Shouldn't cases like these be handled by the baranggay ? DOLE ? Why use social media and attack the suspected guilty party through social media?
      Demanding to be addressed as Congresswoman ...using past issues of "suspect "....
      Innocent until proven guilty right ?
      Yes by all means help the downtrodden but in my opinion the help that she gave was downright abusive too.
      She's accusing someone of being abusive yet she herself exhibited the same behavior.
      Is it wrong to expect a person who holds a high position on government and she said shes3a lawyer

      Delete
    6. **she's a lawyer too, to go through the due process and the proper channels ?
      After all what good will interviews with showbiz personalities, social media rants -- how will all these help the kasambahays ?

    7. The two helpers are from Kabankalan, her dad's hometown. There's a Guanzon Street in that city, probably named after her father or grandfather.

    8. The helpers are from negros her hometown, prominent at family nila jan kaya sya ang nilapitan

      Delete
    9. Actually the real question is, she should know better to follow certain procedures. If she really wanted to sincerely help, idaan sa tamang proseso. What she's doing is trial by publicity. She wants to get sympathy for the helpers, and hate for the employer. Kahit hindi pa natin alam kung anong totoong nangyari, the public already have biases.

      Delete
    10. So what if she comes from a prominent family and is from the same hometown as these "victims " ? Does this have a bearing legally speaking on this case ? Will this factor in helping these kasambahays?

  13. She should have gotten the side of Ruffa first , perhaps privately and not through Twitter to balance the story.

    3. Mahirap din talaga pag stay in. Kaya tayo, mag invest tayo sa mga appliances na mkakapagpadali ng house work natin. Tapos hire na lang tayo once a month para mag general cleaning. Sakit sa ulo na pag uwi mo nalaman mo na nagpaalam na pala umuwi kasama nyo sa bahay, tapos kasama nila umuwi yung mga underwear mo 😫

  17. If the maids are maltreated if course you can voice it out, pero the way kasi si calls out Ruffy, ang yabang like dapat tawagin siyang "cong" and she had to drag an issue that happened years ago? Parang di na tuloy about sa kasambahay yung issue pero pa PR ang dating niya.

  20. I think yung issue here ni Guanzon is Ruffa was the bigger person and in a way nagpower trip siya. Una she did not let them leave when they asked to leave. 2 she made them leave ng disoras ng gabi. Isipin mo nasa gate ng private subd ka, I doubt may masasakyan sila agad there. And galing probinsya nga daw yung 2 so walang alam sa Manila. For sure nabigla yung 2 and were making arrangements in haste 3 Hindi niya sinwelduhan coz kinuha niya yung pinangeroplano nung 2. Sa dami ng pera niya, for sure barya lang naman yun sakanya. Kahit gano pa kagarapal yung 2, I doubt na it will make a dent sa bank acct niya. If talagang wala kang ill intention, sana man lang pinaalis mo ng maayos yung 2 na may means para makaalis. Based kasi sa narrative di naman nagnakaw, di naman sinaktan yung tao sa household. Nagpaalam naman. Of course baka naman talaga may attitude yung 2. Baka palaaway sa other helpers nila. Pero the issue here is pinalayas sila ng walang inextend na makataong tulong. Isipin mo kung nangyari sayo yun, helper ka sa ibang bansa tapos pinalayas ka ng disoras ng gabi and di mo alam pano magcommute and di mo alam language nila?

    2. 12:04 kaya naging abusive yung mga helpers dahil sa reasoning mo. Unfortunately they need to be taught a lesson when they do something wrong. Also deducting the plane fare is just right

      Delete
    3. Kaya nga eh, kahit binigay na lang yong pera at sa ugma pinaalis. Sana kahit di ganun kabuti yong mga ka sambahay niya siya na mismo sana ang magpakatao sa mga yun.

      Delete
    4. 3:30 teach someone a lesson does not equal leaving them to fend for themselves in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar city with no alternative shelter. You sound like you treat people who work for you like they are second class citizens.

      Delete
    5. 3:30 if you work in a corporate setting and when they decide to fire you it’s the same. So if corporate setting acceptable na while if about househelps hindi acceptable? Kaya nga helpers are abusive now because of that reasoning. They know they don’t have accountability kaya they think na kahit mali sila and punished for it, ikaw pa din ang abusive

      Delete
    6. Hindi mo macocompare yung corporate setting sa scenario ng 2 helpers. Sila na-uproot sa probinsya/ tirahan nila, hindi alam ang ways sa Maynila, and as mentioned in the vid mahina sa tagalog. Kapag finire ka sa corporate hindi ka ifafire ng disoras ng gabi without any means na makauwi. That's the issue here. Wala siyang pagkamakatao. Again isipin mo if mangyari sayo to. Kunyare domestic helper ka sa Saudi. Kakadala lang sayo 2 weeks ago. Wala kang pamilya doon, di mo alam yung lugar at di mo alam salita nila. Tapos pinalayas ka ng past 12mn tapos pinadampot ka sa gwardya tapos andun ka sa labas ng gate ng village. Di mo alam pano man lang makakuha ng taxi, makabook ng parang Grab. Wala kang mauuwian. Di ka naman makapagmake ng arrangements kung san ka matutulog ngayong gabi. San ka pupunta? If may mapuntahan ka man, paano e disoras na ng gabi at di mo alam magcommute. Ibang usapan pa if may pangcommute ka. Di mo matanong yung guard ng village kasi di kayo magkaintindihan. So paano? Maghihintay ka hanggang magumaga sa labas ng village with no shelter? Kung ikaw yung bigger person kasi ikaw may power and money, the least you can do is maging makatao.
