A local woman has been filmed unleashing a torrent of verbal abuse at a domestic helper, shouting at her to “go back to the Philippines” during a five-minute tirade at a park in Hong Kong yesterday.
The woman, who has been slammed on Facebook, where two videos of the incident have been shared 21,000 times and garnered more than 700,000 views, repeatedly scolds the domestic helper — who is caring for a young child in a stroller — because of the behavior of the two dogs she is looking after.
The dogs, the woman says, “always keep barking.” She also accuses one of the dogs of biting her dog, which the helper denies. The woman, though, continues her rant, suggesting for some reason that it was inappropriate to walk dogs and a child at the same time.
“You should shut the fuck up! You are just a helper, OK?” the woman shouts.
“Why you bring the baby together with the dog!” she yells at another point, as the child, visibly upset by the rant, cries.
As the helper tries to stay calm, the woman turns to demanding to speak to her employer, shouting “Ask your boss come here I tell him the rules.”
“Or you give your number I call your boss, OK? Call your boss now! Ask him to come here now! I’m telling you, are wrong! [When you] take care of the baby you bring your two dogs, and your dogs… always keep barking, you should control your dog.”
When the helper replies “I am controlling them,” the local woman responds “you are not because your dog is barking at my dog!”
She suggests other people are also upset at the barking dogs, though it appears people in that area would definitely not be shocked by the sound.
Though a location is not listed on the video, photos online appear to suggest it happened at a public dog park on the Tseung Kwan O Waterfront.
As the helper obliges the woman and rings her employer, she continues her tongue lashing: “You actually should not be a helper, you know. If I’m a boss I would fire you. You have really bad attitude.”
After getting off the phone with her boss, the helper writes down her number and her boss’ number telling the local woman to call him, though she insists the employer come to the park immediately.
“We are working! You call him!” the helper responds. “He asked me to give you the number, OK?”
The local woman eventually decides to personally call the helper’s boss, and the helper leaves the park with the two dogs and baby in tow.
Though how the employer reacted is unknown, condemnation of the local woman’s behavior was swift.
“Why doesn’t the lady just get her own park?” one commenter suggested.
“Chinese lady, we know how to listen during calm conversations but when you stir things with us, we’re Filipinos, we’ll fight,” another domestic helper chimed in.
Facebook user Marydhale Tamayo, meanwhile, noted the injustice of the situation.
“The helper is already multitasking and still she gets scolded? I feel bad for her.”
Evie Anoran Nagaya, another Facebook user, asked a pertinent question.
“Didn’t the Chinese [woman] feel ashamed?” she wrote.
“So many people were looking and she still kept on blabbing. I feel sorry for the baby.”

The local lady is barking also, why can’t the dogs bark?

the helper already has a very difficult job at that moment.she was taking care of the child and have to bring the dogs too. If she can leave the dogs at home, I believe she will do so..because taking care of a child is already hard for her..the ranting woman should have at least understand her situation.why are there people who are very narrow-minded and only thinks about themselves?live by the golden rule.

To the Chinese Woman : that is not the way to speak to another human being even if you think her actions has been mindless of you.
To the Filipino nanny: why bring 2 noisy dogs along with a baby to the park? If one of the dogs fight with another dog, who will you take care of, the baby or the dog. Do not multitask in a public place where you infringe on the right of others to safety of their own animals and theie need for silence. Some people go to the park to seek solitude, not to hear barking dogs. In short, huwag gagawa ng mga kilos na makaka istorbo sa iba at ikaka galit ng ibang tao. Kung ang trabaho mo ay ipasyal ang mga aso kasabay ng baby at hindi mo mapatahimik ang mga aso, uwi ka nalang dito sa Pilipinas maliit man ang sweldo, mauunawaan ka naman ng kalahi mo hindi gaya sa ibang bansa, malaki nga ang sweldo parang daga naman ang trato sa iyo.

Omg! What kind of people is this.. i feel sorry for you ate but much more to this rude kind of person… shes dominating.. maybe she thought that helpers are stupid… well helpers on the other hand for your info. They graduated at school some of us are degree holders too.. can u give them some respect. If we do the same thing as u do will u be happy? Slave era is finished.. household workers are the people who protects your health and your wealth.. just my two cents

This chinese woman is barking like a dog…
Why she couldn’t realise that she herself can not control her fucking mouth???
Who she is by the way to yelling to someone not her maid? Is she the way how to mistreating her own maid??? Who she is asking call her boss??? She is a big idiot depressed woman and her mental incapacity attacking her.
