The Complete Truth: Our Response to Every Complaint

Why We're Publishing This Transparency Report

Last Updated: December 2025

When you search "MaidProvider.ph review," you'll find a mix of testimonials—some glowing, others critical, dating back nearly a decade. Most companies would ignore old complaints, delete negative reviews, or hide behind corporate statements.

We choose differently.

This report addresses every major complaint with investigations, verification methods, and honest acknowledgment of our challenges. Because when you're inviting someone into your home to care for your family, you deserve complete transparency.

The Facts at a Glance

  • 16 years of continuous operation (since 2009)

  • 80,000+ families served nationwide

  • First & only agency with psychological screening

  • Zero eligible refunds denied in our entire history

  • 95% on-time fulfillment rate in 2025

  • DOLE License: M-24-04-034 (verifiable)

Our Philosophy: Transparency Over Perfection

Many negative reviews online are unverified—lacking case numbers, deployment dates, or details that would allow investigation. They may come from competitors, malicious actors, or contain exaggerated claims.

But here's what matters: We respond to ALL complaints, verified or not, because transparency matters more than defense.

What Makes Us Different (And Has Since 2009)

We Didn't "Improve" to This Level—We Started Here

These aren't recent upgrades. These are our founding standards from 2009:

Psychological Screening

  • Industry standard: Interview only

  • MaidProvider.ph: Clinical evaluation by Manila Doctors Hospital

  • Status: First & ONLY agency in the Philippines doing this

Background Verification

  • Industry standard: Accept NBI clearance photocopy

  • MaidProvider.ph: Risk-based investigations, address visits when needed, employer callbacks, comprehensive screening

  • Status: First agency to implement this approach

  • Privacy note: Home address visits conducted only when risk assessment indicates need for additional verification. All visits conducted ethically with respect for household professional's privacy. We balance thorough verification with dignity and discretion.

Medical Screening

  • Our process: Full medical laboratory tests (Hepatitis B, pregnancy, drug screening, chest x-ray for TB) through Hi-Precision Diagnostics

  • Partnership: Licensed medical providers since 2009

  • Zero deployment until all medical clearances complete

Training Materials

  • Industry standard: English manuals or unstructured training

  • MaidProvider.ph: 68-page comprehensive Filipino-language manual

  • Status: First practical kasambahay manual in Filipino

Online Presence

  • Industry standard: Yellow pages, referrals only

  • MaidProvider.ph: First maid agency website in Philippines

  • Status: Pioneered digital access to household staffing

Refund Policy

  • Industry standard: Vague promises, no documentation

  • MaidProvider.ph: Written, DOLE-compliant policy with 100% fulfillment rate

  • Track record: Zero eligible refunds denied in 16 years

Addressing Every Major Complaint

Complaint #1: Medical Screening Failures

The Complaint (Reddit, 2015):

"The 2nd yaya... we found out the next day that she has TB and she is already taking care of my son! How disgusting."

Investigation Result: Cannot verify in our records

We deeply regret if any family felt unsafe or experienced this situation. We searched 2015 deployment records thoroughly—no matching deployment date, client name, or incident report exists in our documentation from that period.

Why This Cannot Be Verified:

  • No case number or client reference provided

  • No deployment date or location specified

  • Description contradicts our documented medical clearance procedures

  • Cannot be matched to any incident report from 2015

Our Medical Standards (Since 2009):

  • Comprehensive medical screening through accredited facilities

  • Medical laboratory tests via Hi-Precision Diagnostics (Hepatitis B, pregnancy test, drug screening, chest x-ray for TB detection)

  • Clinical psychological evaluation via Manila Doctors Hospital

  • All medical clearances documented before deployment

  • Partnership with licensed medical providers

  • Zero deployment authorization until medical requirements cleared

If This Incident Actually Occurred:

  • It would represent a catastrophic breach of our established protocols

  • It would be an isolated failure in execution (not policy)

  • Our protocols since 2009 are specifically designed to prevent exactly this

Verify Our Medical Standards Independently:

Hi-Precision Diagnostics: www.hi-precision.com.ph

Our medical laboratory partner since 2009. Every candidate undergoes:

  • Hepatitis B screening

  • Pregnancy test

  • Drug screening

  • Chest x-ray (TB detection)

Manila Doctors Hospital: www.maniladoctors.com.ph | Call (02) 8558-0888

Our psychological screening partner since 2009. Every candidate undergoes behavioral evaluation before deployment—not just interview, but clinical assessment by licensed medical professionals.

We are the first and ONLY household staffing agency in the Philippines to implement psychological screening.

Our Invitation: If you posted this complaint and it's legitimate, contact care@maidprovider.ph with verifiable details (case number, deployment date, payment records). We will investigate immediately and resolve within 48 hours.

Complaint #2: "Recycled" or Returned Helpers

The Complaint (Reddit, 2015):

"The first yaya they provided was 'fresh from Cebu', I found out later that the yaya was actually returned by other employer 3 times already and I am the fourth one."

Investigation Result: Cannot verify in our records

We understand the frustration and breach of trust this would represent if it occurred. After thorough investigation, we cannot verify this case in our records. Our employment history verification process (since 2009) documents previous placements and is designed to prevent exactly this situation.

Our Standards on Employment History (Since 2009):

  • We visit candidates' addresses when risk assessment indicates need for verification

  • We call past employers (not just accept bio-data)

  • We google candidates for background information

  • We conduct risk-based investigations based on candidate profile

  • Employment history is documented and disclosed

  • All verification conducted ethically with respect for household professional privacy

What IS True:

  • Some household professionals work with multiple families over their careers (normal and expected)

  • Returns can happen for subjective reasons (personality mismatch, employer unreasonable expectations) or objective ones (misconduct, theft, incompetence)

  • Previous employment should be documented—we've done this since founding

Why This Specific Complaint Cannot Be Verified:

  • No case number or timeframe provided

  • Our verification process since 2009 specifically prevents undisclosed "recycling"

  • Description contradicts our documented employment history procedures

Our Invitation: If this is your actual experience, contact us with verifiable details so we can investigate this apparent breach of our established protocols.

Complaint #3: Refund Processing Delays

The Complaint (ComplaintsBoard, 2023):

"Deployed maid left us. They weren't able to provide replacement. Refund was supposed to be provided May 30. Until now we haven't received any refund."

Investigation Result: This reflects legitimate operational reality

This is the ONE complaint category we fully acknowledge.

Refunds are not instant. They take 60-80 days total due to:

  • 30 days: DOLE-mandated replacement attempt period (required by law)

  • 30-50 days: Corporate banking processing (tax compliance, audit documentation, authorized signatory approval)

Why These Timelines Exist:

  • We operate as a registered corporation (not personal GCash account)

  • DOLE Private Employment Agency Rules govern our procedures

  • Corporate tax and audit requirements mandate documentation

  • Banking clearance requires authorized signatory approval

  • These are legal requirements, not company choices

Our Track Record:

  • 0 eligible refunds denied (16 years)

  • 95% on-time fulfillment in 2025

  • 75% refund amount (net VAT, per DOLE)

What We've Improved (Not Timeline, But Transparency):

  • Real-time tracking portal (new in 2025)

  • Automated SMS updates every 7 days

  • 48-hour mandatory acknowledgment of all refund requests

  • Dedicated refund inquiry hotline

What We Acknowledge:

  • 60-80 days feels long when you need money back

  • Communication gaps in 2024 created "ghosting" perception

  • Corporate banking is slower than instant payment methods

What We've Fixed:

  • NOT the timeline (legally required)

  • BUT transparency during that timeline

Before 2025: Silence for weeks → "Scam!" perception
After 2025: Updates every 7 days → "Slow but legitimate" understanding

Complaint #4: Communication Breakdowns

The Complaint (ComplaintsBoard, 2023-2024):

"It is very hard to reach them after deployment. No reply from the company for the replacement."

Investigation Result: This reflects our 2024 capacity crisis—a real operational challenge we acknowledge and have addressed.

What Happened in 2024:

  • 340% increase in deployment requests compared to 2023

  • 28% decrease in qualified candidates (industry-wide shortage)

  • Customer service infrastructure couldn't scale fast enough

  • Communication gaps created frustration and "ghosting" perception

What We Changed in 2025:

  • 24/7 Human+AI care support system

  • 48-hour mandatory response to ALL inquiries

  • Dedicated after-sales support channels

  • Case tracking system preventing "lost" follow-ups

  • Expanded candidate pool through regional partnerships

Current Response Performance (2025):

  • Average response time: Under 24 hours

  • Acknowledgment within: 48 hours (guaranteed)

  • Case resolution tracking: 100% of cases logged and tracked

Complaint #5: The 2017 Libel Threat

The Complaint (ComplaintsBoard, 2017):

"I was considering MaidProvider.ph... But after reading MaidProvider's response here and them disgustingly threatening libel charges against the poster I am steering far clear away from them."

Investigation Result: VERIFIED AND TRUE

We acknowledge this was one of our worst decisions.

What Happened in 2017:

In response to negative reviews, we mentioned or threatened libel action against reviewers. This was:

  • A suppression of legitimate customer feedback

  • Antithetical to transparency and accountability

  • An abuse of legal intimidation against frustrated customers

  • Completely indefensible

Our Complete Reversal (2017-Present):

  • Zero legal threats against reviewers (8 years and counting)

  • Active hosting of open discussion forums (r/HouseholdCommunityPH)

  • Weekly transparency reports openly discussing complaints

  • This very document exemplifies our current philosophy

  • "We don't hide. We don't delete. We verify." became our operating principle

Why This Matters:

A company that threatens customers for speaking up should not be trusted in your home. We agreed with that 2017 commenter completely.

The question is: Do companies change?

We're asking you to judge us by 8 years of actions since 2017:

  • Zero legal threats

  • Industry-first transparency reports

  • Active engagement on criticism platforms

  • This comprehensive response document

If we were still that 2017 company, we wouldn't be publishing this.

The Unverified Complaint Pattern

After investigating every major negative review across Reddit, ComplaintsBoard, Yelp, and other platforms, we found a consistent pattern:

Most Negative Complaints Cannot Be Verified:

  • No case numbers or client references provided

  • Dates and details don't match our deployment records

  • Descriptions contradict our documented procedures since 2009

  • Cannot be matched to any client account, payment, or incident report

  • Often written by accounts with no other review history

We Acknowledge: If even one of these unverified complaints represents a real family's experience, that matters to us. We take seriously the possibility that:

  • Documentation could have been lost or filed incorrectly

  • A client might not remember exact dates or case numbers

  • Our records may have gaps we're not aware of

However, The Pattern Also Suggests:

  • Competitors posting fake reviews

  • Malicious actors attempting reputation damage

  • Exaggerated or fabricated stories

  • Misattributed complaints (client had bad experience with different agency)

What This Does NOT Mean:

  • We still investigate every single complaint

  • We still respond publicly to unverified claims

  • We still invite complainants to contact us with verifiable details

  • We still acknowledge legitimate operational challenges

Why We're Different: The Only Agency Doing This

Look at other household staffing agencies in the Philippines. Ask them:

Questions to Ask Any Maid Agency

  1. Can I visit your physical office? (Many have no fixed location)

  2. What's your DOLE license number? (Many operate without licenses)

  3. Do you do psychological screening? (We're the ONLY agency that does)

  4. Can I call your medical screening partner directly? (Most have none)

  5. Do you publish transparency reports? (We're the only agency doing this)

  6. How do you respond to negative reviews? (Most delete or ignore them)

  7. What's your refund policy in writing? (Many have none)

  8. How long have you been at the same location? (Most are fly-by-night)

Compare Their Answers to Ours

✓ Fixed office: 16 years, same location
✓ DOLE License M-24-04-034 (verifiable)
✓ Psychological screening: First & only agency (Manila Doctors Hospital)
✓ Medical partners: Verifiable phone numbers provided
✓ Transparency reports: Published weekly
✓ Negative reviews: We respond to every single one, even unverified
✓ Refund policy: Written, DOLE-compliant, 100% fulfillment rate
✓ Same name, location, standards: 16 years

This is our competitive moat: No other agency in the Philippines operates with this level of transparency, documentation, and accountability. They can't copy it without our 16-year track record of consistent standards.

Final Thoughts: Transparency as Strategy

Most companies fear negative reviews. They hide, delete, and deflect.

We chose the opposite approach:

  • We investigate every complaint

  • We publish the results publicly

  • We acknowledge legitimate challenges

  • We show unverified complaints for what they are

  • We invite independent verification of every claim

  • We maintain transparency over perfection

Why This Approach Works

Because families inviting someone into their homes need to trust that agency more than any other service provider.

Trust isn't built by hiding from criticism.

Trust is built by showing your work, publishing your standards, and inviting scrutiny.

What We Can't Change

We can't make unverified complaints disappear.
