The Philippine Consulate in Hong Kong confirmed that a Filipino domestic worker died on Monday after falling off a window she was cleaning.
Reports from Hong Kong media said that the 38-year-old Filipina allegedly fell from the 18th floor of an apartment building in Kowloon.
“This is such a deplorable tragedy because the Hong Kong government itself has banned window cleaning since 2017, as they are aware that this is unsafe and very dangerous,” Tejada said. “We are monitoring the police investigation closely to make sure that our fellow Filipino gets the justice she deserves,” Tejada said.
“My fellow Filipinos, let us be careful and refuse this kind of work as it is prohibited by Hong Kong law.”
