Is it legal for Filipino maids to work in the mainland at present?

It is illegal to employ Filipino maids.

China has always had strict regulations for foreigners to engage in domestic service, and foreigners are not allowed to engage in domestic service.

The reason why there are Filipino maids in the Mainland is generally to provide domestic service in the name of teachers or the introduction of Filipino trainers. Or follow the employer to obtain a tourist visa or a business visa, but the visa expires, and the "Filipino maids" who come to work in China will become illegal "black households". ?

According to China's current Regulations on the Employment of Foreigners in China, "foreigners must have a definite employer when they are employed in China, and individuals and families are not allowed to employ foreign workers."

Origin

Twenty-eight years ago, in view of the domestic economic depression and the breeding of political opposition, Philippine strongman President Marcos opened the door to allow and encourage his people to work overseas, hoping to improve people's livelihood at home and relieve political pressure.

Since then, OFW, an overseas Filipino, has gradually become an indispensable role in the social life of the Philippines. Among them, Filipino maids have become a bright spot in the international labor market.

The Philippine government attaches great importance to overseas workers. Every Christmas, when foreign workers return home to visit relatives, the government will lay a red carpet for them and set up a special fast track at the Capital International Airport. The president and officials from overseas labor and welfare departments will also hold a special welcome ceremony.

In addition to maids, overseas workers in the Philippines also include male technicians, seafarers and construction workers. Remittances from these overseas workers are an important and stable income for the Philippine government, and overseas workers have thus become the "new heroes" of the country.

Statistics show that in 1999, the Philippines received remittances from overseas workers through legal channels of 6.79 billion US dollars, which exceeded 8 billion US dollars in 21 and 22, accounting for more than 5.6% of GDP.

Therefore, calling OFW the "new hero" of Philippine national economy is by no means flattering. Safeguarding the rights and interests of overseas workers has always been one of the three major foreign policies of the Philippines. Safeguarding the rights and interests of maids is a top priority. At one time, the Philippines almost got serious with its neighbor Singapore for protecting the rights and interests of its domestic maids, and the relationship between the two countries was once tense.
