Kasambahay tila nagmukhang kawawa Habang Kumakain ang mga Amo.

We are living in a world full of self-centered and arrogant people. People nowadays are becoming more self-important and forget those people around them, especially being kind and compassionate to people who are in need. With that in mind, one Facebook user shared a photo of a housekeeper with her employers. Cey Budomo posted a photo of a "kasambahay" or housekeeper sitting with her employer's family while watching them eat.

The post went viral on social media and elicited so much attention from the netizens. The concerned netizen captioned the photo:

KUNG DI NYO PAKAKAININ ANG KASAMBAHAY NIYO (NA) KASAMA NIYO SA MESA WAG NIYO NA ISAMA SA LOOB AT PAPAUPUIN NIYO PA HABANG NAKAIN KAYO DI YAN ASO NA MAG AABANG SA INYO!

This also prompted the netizens to raised the issue that many "kasambahays" or housekeepers are suffering from bad treatment from their employers. Apparently, the employers on the said photo seem like Filipino and that makes it more disappointing.

We have heard news about OFWs being wrongfully treated by their employers and even some ended up in the worst case. Cey and other netizens said that housekeepers should be treated equally and be respected. Indeed, if they cannot treat them with respect and goodness, they should not hire one in the first place.

The work of a housekeeper looks so low in the eyes of many. However, that doesn't define them as a person. And every person, regardless of their status in life, gender, appearance, we all deserve to be respected, treated equally, and most of all, be loved.
