A video of two Filipino domestic workers abroad engaging in a heated argument has gone viral on social media. The post, captioned “Aba puro maisog CGe dai bira kamo🤣Kay pareho gid kamo mapalayas😂” (which translates to “You’re both brave, keep going, and you’ll both get fired”), has drawn attention and mixed reactions from netizens.
Filipinos are known for their diligence, and many of them leave the Philippines to work as domestic helpers in foreign countries to support their families back home. However, this video captures a different side of their struggles, as the two women, who were both busy with household tasks, ended up in a heated confrontation. One of the women was seen washing dishes while angrily speaking to her fellow domestic worker, who was mopping the floor. Their verbal spat quickly escalated into a physical altercation, with both women pulling each other’s hair, prompting another colleague to step in and break up the fight.

Though the specific location of the incident was not disclosed, the two women were heard speaking in Ilonggo, a regional language in the Philippines. Based on their conversation, it appears that their argument stemmed from work-related issues, possibly disagreements over their responsibilities.
The video has sparked concern among viewers, with many expressing hope that the two domestic workers can resolve their differences. As they both share the same difficult circumstances of working abroad, some netizens emphasized the importance of solidarity and cooperation, especially in foreign countries where they may face additional challenges.

In many cases, domestic workers abroad rely on each other for emotional and practical support, as their work often involves long hours and significant physical and emotional strain. Their fight, caught on video, serves as a reminder of the immense pressure many overseas Filipino workers face.
While the incident highlights a moment of conflict, the hope remains that these two workers will find common ground and support each other, instead of letting personal disputes jeopardize their employment and well-being.
