The maids that come to Lebanon, hope to send money back to their families, bc their countries (Sri Lanka, Ethopia, the Phillipines, etc) have really shitty governments. Yes, more crappier than Lebanon's.They earn more $ in one month (in Lebanon), than they see from an entire year in their homelands. My point? It's their choice to go there; they're not kidnapped.
Unfortunatly, that's life! They're paid, so it's not slavery.
Now, you know, why many of them immigrate to the U.S. ^_^
There's Healthcare, Free schooling, and more rights.
There is no government, they don't do crap for their people. They're just figureheads who get paid a lot. It's everyone for themselves, they don't get benefits, from taxes. Not like in the U.S.
@xoxo221x THAT'S NOT TRUE! Hey look at me i'm wearing Prada. :P I'm sorry :P But that's just not true. Im Lebanese and im not deying there is equal rights for maids, but we don't treat them as maids, that's just exagorgation (or however you spell it).
go to Philippines we have a lot of malls there just type Philippines Malls,,, and also does your come with a security... and do you still have malls in there shit no way Israel forget to bomb this one then ha haaaaaaa get it israel forget this one just kidding man i am just kidding
Also, we were once discussing immigration in college, and I recall one of my Indian friend from college who told us that Indians send their worst (in terms of education to the midde east and their best (also n terms of education to the wets and the US. In fact, just walk in any hospital here in the US and you see that a lot of the doctors, staff and nurses are either from the Philippines, India, Pakistan, China
Also, I have never bought anything made in Lebanon but if you shop around in the US you could see a lot of things made in the Philipines. Also, Philippines never blames its failure on other nearby countries (and I dont mean only Israel but I also mean Syria).
For your info, the Philipines is about sixity millions people, and if say Lebanon have 10,000 philipine workers, this constitutes about 0.0166% of their population. The rest of the population either stays home, or go to the west or US to get a better job and better treatment. Another issue if you look at the ranking of the GDP in the world: Philipines ranks 36 and Lebanon ranks 83.
Also I have found Lebanese (unlike Syrians, Libyans, Moroccans, and Tunisians) always try to claim that they are not Arabs and that they are Phoenicians. Why? Dont deny your identity: Arabs at one instant were as superiors as any other race and culture
I am from the US and I have met a lot of good guys from different places when I was in college in Boston (from Lebanon, Philipines, Thailand, Vietnam, India, China, France, Germany etc. ). Some of whom went with me to college and still live here in the US and as per their statement (my Lebanese friends, I mean) half (if not more) of the Lebanese working population between the ages of 25 and 50 years do not reside in Lebanon as there is no work.
its not about filipinos man, its about how they live in the middle east. in the gulf aswell, they dont have oil wells and fucking camels where civilized, if anything more civilized than us
Filipinos are wonderful and very clean in nature, not like other asean househelper, sad to say that they're maltreated in Lebanon...if Im a filipino maid I'll never come to this country...where ever you go lebanese are so stupid and arogance in nature ...they think they own the whole word..bitch! and they're the open arab prostitutes so far I know.
click my name I am Pilipino leave in USA I made a comments about why Pilipno maid are expensive than the other countries ..the answer is a little bit down the screen "Garloks" also click my name to see my tube he he he
Y? coz $150-200 is cheap they said they can find this amount in Phil. and also they don't go back after contract working as a maid coz cheap and still being bomb by other countries since 2006,Also Phil. gov. banned maid contract to Leb. coz cheap and still have war with other contries,,that's why other ask for more cost as a maid they still find worthless working in Leb..
It's true that there is a long history of violence towards maids in lebanon and across the middle east as a whole, a shame really, but I'm trying to look at this from a more sociological perspective. I hate to say it, but one of the main reasons the philipino's seem to have become so popular is because they are regarded as physically cleaner than the other two popular ethnicities in lebanon. truly sad. In the eyes of many lebanese its a symbol of having upgraded, a status symbol.
ACTUALLY, the fact that philipino maids are in this video is actually quite interesting to note since this mall is in a well-off district of Beirut as they are becoming the most popular type of maid to have, ahead of both Ethiopians and Sri Lankan's.
Doesn't seem like a "sociological perspective."

lebanon has horrible human rights. doesn't matter how beautiful if ppl r cruel and bluntly racist.
they have the OLD mindset of "HEY we are the best"
what they need to learn is basic human rights.
try searching Maid in Lebanon
and see how people who work in this country are treated.
google migrant rights news in lebanon
In lebanon there is no law to protect workers...they are commonly treated as slaves, raped, murdured, abused, no pay.
when will slavery and racism end?

This video is very stupid...
if you want to show the different malls & the nice shopping districts of Lebanon,
no need to mention that Philipinos work there as maids.
Waste of time!

Why is that because they don't complain when they are not paid their wadges properly? Ot they never complain when they are beaten or mistreated?
