A Filipino domestic helper has
sued her Malaysian employer for maltreatment, a report reaching the
Department of Foreign Affairs said over the weekend.
In a report to
Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo, Ambassador to Kuala Lumpur
Victoriano Lecaros said the maltreatment case will be heard in court
on March 15.
Charges of
“constant and habitual physical and emotional abuses” were filed
by the Filipina, identified only by the DFA as “Anna.”
The Filipina
reportedly complained to the Malaysian police about the abuses of
her employer.
She said her
employer started hurting her right after she arrived in October
2005.
It only
stopped when she informed her that she has filed a suit against her
last week.
The Filipina
is currently under the care of the embassy in Kuala Lumpur.  --Francis
