A Filipina domestic helper has been charged with two
counts of making a false statement to Immigration officers in order to enter
and work in Hong Kong, and one count of violating a deportation order.

Margarita S. Gutierrez appeared before Shatin Magistrate Li Chi-ho on Dec 24 for a bail review. But no details
of her alleged offenses and the circumstances of her arrest were read out in
court.
Her counsel applied for a $5,000 cash bail and surety of $3,000 for her temporary
liberty, but
Li
rejected the application, citing the serious nature of her case.
The
magistrate said the defendant could file a separate bail application at the
High Court.
He then adjourned the case to Jan 29 and ordered the
defendant remanded in custody.
Gutierrez's work visa had reportedly been renewed
five times before Immigration authorities discovered there was a standing ban
on her re-entry, imposed when she was still using her former husband's surname.-
