@rodriguezdp15 its not the koreans its the Goverment....

they mistreat these Filipinos because in their eyes, they Filipino workers are not seen as people of value because of their poverty. It's not just poverty but also superiority complex over the darker filipinos..i mean..just take a look at a lot of koreans(not just in korea but outside korea too), they wear those dark vadar looking visors and shun the shun & use whitening face washes and whitening creams and sell nose clippers to make their noses narrower..trying so hard to be something else.

i agree with the older gentleman who said it's because of the condescending behavior in which koreans(and even japanese) society view filipinos(and other darker skinned asians). because of their economic advantage(let's no forget it's partly thanks to american investment and aid-billions of dollars into korea & japan), many koreans and japanese have a superiority complex towards southeast asians and even the chinese.

The Filipinos and their government exploit their own people. Child labor in ALL business is rampant. The exploitation of Filipinos is NOT an issue of whether Filipinos are being exploited by foreign corporations, due to government corruption and poverty. The exploitation is unlimited. Exploitation exists in the smallest fishing boats that have kids that dive for black pearls.

If you think the Reps wanting to get rid of OSHA is significant; multiply that by 10's of thousands of injuries.

@eagleone888 It's really disgusting to watch this one and it's happening right in our country but what else is new??? FACT - we need those jobs created by foreign investments but at the expense of our workers being maltreated nakakagalit talaga. and the explanation given by Mr. Robert Garcia as cultural issue is bullshit, companies big or small have their sop's when it comes to disciplinary action but that doesn't include wringing the arm of a subordinate as caught on a cellphone camera

There are many things happening in the Philippines that go unreported or are being covered up from the people. The government does not lack the resources to protect its own people, but the bureaucrats of DOLE agencies who are responsible for setting standards and monitoring strict observance of them for the protection of the workers are, like the DOLE Secretary, both corrupt.
