Two
Filipinas, both domestic helpers, appeared to have encountered resistance to their bid for
temporary freedom while facing money laundering charges when they appeared at separate
courts earlier this week.
Marivic
Millare, 48 years old, was made to post a cash bail of $50,000 when she appeared
before Magistrate Tsang Hing-tung at her trial at West Kowloon Courts on Thursday
(Sept. 5).
The amount
is a little less than the $56,000 minimum salary of a domestic helper for one
year.

She was charged with dealing in “any person’s proceeds from indictable offense.” a violation of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance.
