TawiII may well be correct, we have a friend on Palawan falsely accused of improper behaviour with one his house staff... three weeks after he fired her for PROVEN and ADMITTED theft... and he did not involve the police because she had two young kids..talk about ungrateful!!!. fortunately for him he is well respected amongst the Filipino community and it did not go anywhere. BUT. it could have easily been a different story, another Swiss guy fled back home just on the strength of an accusation. took him months to get his family over there. It is a risk we run if we chose to live there and hire staff.
