Why MaidProvider.ph Fights for Fair Wages for Household Professionals
Every day in the Philippines, millions of homes quietly depend on one person: the one who wakes up first, sleeps last, and carries the weight of the household on their shoulders.
To many, they are simply "kasambahay."
To us at MaidProvider.ph, they are Household Professionals—and they deserve more than basic pay. They deserve fair, dignified wages.
This is our Human+ Advocacy
Human+ Means Seeing the Person Behind the Job
"Human+" for us means one simple thing:
Before the title, there is a human being.
A Household Professional is not just "taga-linis," "taga-bantay," or "taga-luto."
She is also:
- A parent trying to send her children to school
- A breadwinner supporting siblings and aging parents
- A dreamer who wants a better life without leaving the country
When you see the human, you naturally begin to ask:
"Are we paying them fairly?"
"Are we respecting their time, their health, their dignity?"
That's where our wage advocacy begins.
Why Wages Are a Human Issue, Not Just a Money Issue
A wage is not just a number on a contract.
It is food, medicine, rent, tuition, and sometimes hope.
For Household Professionals, fair wages mean:
- Being able to feed their family without borrowing
- Sending children to school with pride
- Having choices, not just sacrifices
When wages are too low, it's not just "tipid." It's a human problem.
And that is why we care.
MaidProvider.ph: A Legal Agency with a Human+ Mission
Yes, MaidProvider.ph is DOLE-licensed—legal, registered, and compliant.
But our mission goes beyond paperwork.
We are here to:
- Advocate for fair, transparent wages
- Protect Household Professionals from unfair practices
- Guide employers to do what is legal, ethical, and sustainable
Because if we truly believe they are professionals, we must pay them as professionals.
Advocacy in Action: What Human+ Looks Like in Real Life
Our Human+ Advocacy shows up in simple, everyday ways:
1. Honest Conversations with Employers
We don't just ask: "Magkano po budget n'yo?"
We also say: "Ma'am/Sir, kung ganito po kabigat ang trabaho, mas makatao at realistic po kung ganito ang range ng sweldo."
We advocate with data, with empathy, and with courage.
2. Standing Beside Workers, Not Above Them
If a Household Professional feels underpaid, overworked, or disrespected, they can reach out. Our care team is gising 24/7 to listen and help.
Why This Matters for Clients and Families
You might ask: "I'm a client. How does this Human+ advocacy help me?"
Simple. Fair wages attract better talent.
From a practical perspective, if you want reliable, skilled, and long-term Household Professionals, you need to offer competitive wages.
- You attract better, more committed applicants
- You avoid the stress of constant turnover (hindi pabalik-balik sa hiring)
- You build a home built on mutual respect, not quiet resentment
A home is not just walls and furniture. It is built with relationships—and one of the most important relationships is with the person who takes care of your family every day.
Keeping Filipinos Home, Not Forced Abroad
Many Household Professionals feel they have no choice but to work abroad just to earn a decent wage.
At MaidProvider.ph, we refuse to accept that as the only path.
We believe: The Philippines can and should offer fair, livable wages to its own Household Professionals.
Our Human+ Advocacy is about creating more stories that sound like this:
A Call to Action
