Philippine President Plans To Train Supermaids Date: 8/7/2006 |
| "We will be sending supermaids," Arroyo said of a new training program during a round-table discussion on efforts to evacuate 30,000 Filipinos in Lebanon, most of them maids, and help them find new jobs. Augusto Syjuco, head of the government's Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, said the supermaid program includes instruction in first aid, evacuations from high-rises in case of a fire and other skills to help maids get higher pay. "They are not just maids. They are really very well trained now," he said. "If there is someone injured among the family they work for ... how to get out of a fire in a high-rise building, all these are part of our upgrading program." |
