Migrant work is a "value", not a cost!

Reference to ABS-CBNnews.com report:

"Hong Kong's foreign maids lose battle against residency"

Alas, our friends lost in Hong Kong. Sadly, it's not only a setback for the legality of migrants' living and working conditions; it's also a setback for the struggle to change social mindsets and perceptions that migrant workers are not to be regarded as mere "costs" to host country governments but rather as "values" to the development of their economies and the evolution of their societies.

We shall overcome.
