OFW Puts Her Life In Danger


An OFW in Hong Kong Puts Her Life in Danger by Following Employer’s Task to Clean Window Panes from a High-Rise Building

Working as an OFW is not as easy as others may think it is.  In fact, sometimes, their lives were put in danger more particularly when they’ve found an employer as vain as this!



Elpie Leba, an OFW in Hong Kong shared on her Facebook account some pictures of a certain helper who was cleaning the window panes of a unit in Grand Garden Building located in South Bay.

The first photo may look like a usual scene of a person cleaning the windows but the next pictures are breath taking because the helper was already coming out of the window just to clean the other panels without a harness or a safety gear.



Considering the idea that what the helper was asked to do by her employer was very dangerous and life-threatening, Elpie said in her post that she will never do the same even if it will cost her to lose her job.

The said post has earned various comments from the netizens but mostly enraged by the fact that the employer of the helper was so inconsiderate for asking the helper to clean the windows without taking into consideration her safety as she was almost hanging on the window just to clean all the window panels.



Some of them even said that what she did was risky and the helper can report her abusive employer for being told to do so.

More over, the pictures which Elpie shared mirrors the lives of our OFWs which were unknown to many who think that working abroad made them live conveniently and luxuriously because they were earning dollars.

Truth of the matter is, it’s hard for them to earn money. And in the course of earning them, most of the OFWs doesn’t even care if their lives where put into risk for as long as they will get paid so they can send it to their families in the Philippines.

This is a sad reality that everyone should come to realize.
