Philippine called the "Nation of Servant"

Mr. Chip Tsao formerly BBC reporter columnist and famous author as well.
He was the issue right now it is all about his defregatory statement on his article about "the claiming of Philippines to the Spratly Islands" that made him insult Filipino domestic workers and called our country as "nation of servants"at Hongkong magazine.

My opinion on this he doesn't have any right to say that our nation is a nation of servant.
He should not do that, he should be conscious of what may Filipino felt for what he have said.
I really hate that he step down the dignity and pride of every Filipino since he was well known for being well author,columnist and reporter he must know his limitation in writing.

He's very Hypocrite.

Ah that's true were nation of servant but not nation of discriminant like them.

Our maid there serve them very well.

They really work hard for their family here to gave their family a good life.

They treat the son/daughter of their employer as if it is their own family.

On the Spratly issue we need to fight for our claim to Spratly this island really belong to us.

He really need to apologize to everyone of Filipino for what he have said to us.


Here is his article “The War at Home” published recently on HK-Magazine.com :

The Russians sank a Hong Kong freighter last month, killing the seven Chinese seamen on board. We can live with that—Lenin and Stalin were once the ideological mentors of all Chinese people. The Japanese planted a flag on Diàoyú Island. That's no big problem—we Hong Kong Chinese love Japanese cartoons, Hello Kitty, and shopping in Shinjuku, let alone our round-the-clock obsession with karaoke.

But hold on—even the Filipinos? Manila has just claimed sovereignty over the scattered rocks in the South China Sea called the Spratly Islands, complete with a blatant threat from its congress to send gunboats to the South China Sea to defend the islands from China if necessary. This is beyond reproach. The reason: there are more than 130,000 Filipina maids working as $3,580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong. As a nation of servants, you don't flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter.

As a patriotic Chinese man, the news has made my blood boil. I summoned Louisa, my domestic assistant who holds a degree in international politics from the University of Manila, hung a map on the wall, and gave her a harsh lecture. I sternly warned her that if she wants her wages increased next year, she had better tell every one of her compatrihots in Statue Square on Sunday that the entirety of the Spratly Islands belongs to Cina.

Grimly, I told her that if war breaks out between the Philippines and China, I would have to end her employment and send her straight home, because I would not risk the crime of treason for sponsoring an enemy of the state by paying her to wash my toilet and clean my windows 16 hours a day. With that money, she would pay taxes to her government, and they would fund a navy to invade our motherland and deeply hurt my feelings.

Oh yes. The government of the Philippines would certainly be wrong if they think we Chinese are prepared to swallow their insult and sit back and lose a Falkland Islands War in the Far East. They may have Barack Obama and the hawkish American military behind them, but we have a hostage in each of our homes in the Mid-Levels or higher. Some of my friends told me they have already declared a state of emergency at home. Their maids have been made to shout 'China, Madam/Sir' loudly whenever they hear the word 'Spratly.' They say the indoctrination is working as wonderfully as when we used to shout, 'Long live Chairman Mao!' at the sight of a portrait of our Great Leader during the Cultural Revolution. I'm not sure if that's going a bit too far, at least for the time being.
