Talk:Filipinos in Hong Kong

message: There are lots of issues that a migrant worker population face in any country or territory, and this article touches none of the interesting ones.  Who in their right mind thinks it's interesting enough to write an article about the songs and dances of a migrant population while completely skipping over the only reason anybody would read one of these articles---social issues, inequalities, injustice, abuse?  Addressing the potential, the facts, the law, and the opinions from the Filipino side, the Hong Kong side, the China side?  Flat out, this article is lamer than a no-legged horse.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.52.169.232 (talk) 05:48, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I think this page could use a history section, dealing with such things as the first Filipinos in Hong Kong, etc. --TheBoompsy 20:52, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: It has been suggested that the article Bun mui be merged into Filipinos in Hong Kong. The term Bun mui is a derogatory term or at least offensive. The purpose is to explain a derogatory term amd not on the subject of Filipinos in Hong Kong. The article is far too long and detailed to be merged with into Filipinos in Hong Kong. The article should remain separate. A link to Bun mui has been inserted into the article Filipinos in Hong Kong.
*No-I agree with the above:Keep separated . Bun mui should focus on the term and labelling, slurs implied by Bun mui, while Filipinos should be on other infor.--Jondel 09:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

message: What about information about the exploitation of these maids? I have heard this occurs?
:Rumors of exploitation always abound with any group that has mainly service jobs, in any country.  Some of them may be true, many are certainly false.  I personally don't care for the newspaper practice of finding one case of unconfirmed molestation and screaming in the top headline "All Filipinos are Exploited!"  If someone wants to add a section to the article on exploitation I would strongly suggest finding at least two sources for individual incidents, and citing them along wiht the claims, and try to balance this against the rest of the article.
:If you can't find citations, or if you can only find one, I would be reluctant to see it in the article.  News media will lie to get circulation.  We don't need circulation so we shouldn't propagate invented stories, only the real stories. Loren.wilton (talk) 20:44, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: exactly what kind of exploitation are you thinking of? Sex? It might startle you but in every one of the 24 countries I have lived in (including most of SE Asia), these girls are not "sold" into prostitution. I personally know 30 or so that left the Philippines voluntarily to work the strips in Hong Kong. Possibly hundreds more to other locations. There is one in my kitchen that is waiting for her work-visa for California so she can get there and disappear - working the trade again. I agree with Loren.wilton and that a great many stories are made to look real and sometimes are internationally sensational, but quietly disappear when any proof of slavery rings comes out to be false. Now, the other exploitation would be manual labor and I cannot see any reason someone would pay for a labor slave from another country when there are already a ton of locals to do the work just as cheap. 210.5.75.10 (talk) 13:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
