| The poster for the talk |
A friend or relative comes to you and borrows your ATM card, saying a friend has money coming from overseas and does not have his/her own Hong Kong bank account. As a favor, this friend says you would be paid a token fee for allowing access to your bank account for a short period of time.
The next thing
you know, the police are at your employer’s door, saying you will be arrested
on suspicion of money laundering.
What could have gone wrong? What should you do? Is there a way out of this nightmare?.

This all-too
common scenario among foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong now is the focus of
a talk by Philippine lawyer and The SUN editor Daisy CL Mandap, tomorrow,
Sept.8, 3-5pm, at Fanny Li Hall of St John’s Cathedral in Central, sponsored by
the Mission for Migrant Workers.
The Mission’s
general manager, Cynthia Abdon-Tellez, will moderate the talk and provide inputs
on an issue that has been plaguing not just Filipinos in Hong Kong, but the community at large.
Mandap, for her part, will share stories from court cases that The SUN covers on a regular basis, but also from the personal experiences shared with her by Filipino migrants in distress..

She will explain
what constitutes money laundering under Hong Kong laws, and why Filipino
migrants charged and convicted of the offence inevitably find themselves being
put behind bars.
Her talk will
also focus on the various scams being perpetrated on Filipino domestic workers,
and how they can avoid falling into this trap.
The talk is open to the public but pre-registration at telephone number 92021740 is required.
