MANILA \u2013 After Hong Kong\u2019s ex-security chief and now lawmaker Regina Ip referred to some Filipino domestic helpers as \u2018marriage wreckers,\u2019 the Malaca\u00f1ang was quick to defend them saying that they were \u2018trusted people who do a very noble job of providing care to other people\u2019s families.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI have received complaints from expatriate women\u2026 that Filipino domestic helpers seduce their husband,\u201d Ip claimed in her op-ed article published in Ming Pao, a Chinese-language newspaper in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

\u201cRather than reporting improper behavior by local employers, should we pay more attention to Filipino maids becoming sexual resources for foreign men in Hong Kong?<\/p>\n

,\u201d she added, asking why the international media seemed to report more about abuses committed by employers and none about the alleged illicit relationships.<\/p>\n

Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda asserted that Ip\u2019s statements were \u2018obviously not true\u2019 and said that \u2018the Filipinos who are working there are doing a very noble job of providing and taking care of their little ones.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that that lawmaker, by using just one example and to conclude that Filipino domestic workers are all home wreckers is certainly fallacious, is certainly unfair to the many, many Filipinos who have given their own personal lives, given up their own family lives here in the Philippines to serve and help the families of others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lacierda also regarded Ip\u2019s comments as a \u2018classic example of inductive reasoning,\u2019 which led to \u2018fallacious conclusions.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cYou use one specific example and then you conclude in the general. Sometimes when you use inductive reasoning, it lends itself to fallacious conclusions\u2026 I do hope that the lawmaker would realize that she should not engage in inductive reasoning, especially in a situation where only one anecdotal experience was recounted and immediately conclude that Filipinos are home wreckers. That is a very unfair conclusion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at it from our side, from our point of view, those of us who are detached, those of us who are here in the Philippines, the statement of the lawmaker certainly, was totally unfair to all of the Filipino workers and it is but natural for our Filipino workers who, labor day-in and day-out, in-season and out-of-season to help the families of the Hong Kong Chinese. It certainly gives them justification to feel aggrieved, to feel insulted,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
