Pinoy Worker Sacked in Australia for Using Water Instead of Toilet Paper

[coiter]

ang baboy nga ng ginawa niya. makalat. kung pinupunasan sana nya yung kalat na tubig e di sana hindi na masyadong malaki ang issue. masasabi na lang nya nag sasabon naman sya. hehe

e bakit nauso yung built in washers (usually hose with sprayer) sa mga toilets kung hindi pala hygenic-ally advisable? example yung sa greenbelt, serendra and other high end establishments and homes.

ganito --

there's hygenic for the individual

there's hygenic for the population

yes, it's much cleaner for us individually if we wash with water (with bare hands)

but if people who wash with water with bare hands do not wash their hands properly, that's not hygenic for the population

foreigners look at it from the hygenic-for-the-population point of view

ok?

i think this is more a cultural issue for us than a hygenic issue

[uls]

here's another example of pinoy culture clashing with western culture

remember the filipino kid in Canada who was reprimanded for eating with spoon and fork?

Filipino boy's discrimination case ruled out by rights commission

A Filipino boy who was allegedly discriminated in school for of his eating etiquette will appeal his complaint before a rights tribunal in Montreal, Canada.

This, after the Quebec Human Rights Commission found no evidence that then seven-year-old Luc Cagadoc was reprimanded or discriminated by school officials for eating with the a spoon and fork.

ABS-CBN North America News Bureau reported that the commission also ruled that the school's principal did not discriminate the boy when told to eat the way Canadians eat.

In 2006, Cagadoc’s family complained against the school board alleging that the boy was humiliated and reprimanded by the lunch supervisor for eating with a spoon and fork.

The boy was allegedly told that he eats like a pig, which sparked Filipino protests around the world.

The decision of the commission dismayed Cagadoc’s family.

Cagadoc’s mother, Maria Teresa Gallardo said they will appeal their complaint before the Quebec Human Rights Tribunal.

The family also wants to receive public apology and moral damages from the school.

CHICAGO, Illinois - In the gastronomic equivalent of the saying “when in Rome, do as the Romans do," the Quebec Human Rights Commission in the city of Montreal has ruled that the teacher identified only as “M.B." discriminated against and violated the human right of a seven-year-old Filipino boy by disciplining him for eating with fork and spoon at the same time.

The Commission, however, found no evidence that Luc Joachim Gallardo-Cagadoc, who was then a Grade 2 student, was reprimanded by the teacher because of his cultural habit. Luc is now 10 years old.

This bit of information was relayed to this reporter by the mother of Luc, Maria Theresa Gallardo-Cagadoc, who plans to appeal the ruling before Quebec Human Rights Tribunal because she felt a sense of “deep disappointment, frustration, dismay and disbelief" over the decision.

Yeah. That's better than shaking hands with someone who used just toilet paper. I'm sure if a person is hygienic enough to use water, he or she would wash his or hands with soap and water.

Why does he have to do it in the office pala? Sana sa bahay na lang.

Agree ako kay Cathy. Kasi kung ginamit mo yung bare hands mo sa paghugas, automatic yan magsasabon ka ng mga kamay after that.

Siguro walang janitor yung opis, kaya wala naglilinis sa toilet.

Hehehe,- and contend yourself with 'skid marks' in your underwear......

Parang kinalawang, nagmantsa na.....

[uls]

why does everyone assume na naghuhugas ng mabuti ng kamay ang mga tao after sila maglinis ng pw3t?

not everyone is as hygiene conscious

So you guys assume that people from squatters area are as hygenic as you?

sila din gumagamit ng kamay sa paglinis ng pw3t

sila ang mga minimum wage food handlers sa mga resto, mga cook, waiter

sa tingin nyo ba pag nag CR ang mga cook at waiter, naghuhugas sila ng kamay ng mabuti? lagi? 100%?

think beyond yourselves dudes

[boybi]

Hindi rin naman 100% hygienic kapag tissue ang ginamit, minsan nabubutas/napupunit yung tissue

Why does he have to do it in the office pala? Sana sa bahay na lang.

Agree with GH. Unlike ladies who have second thoughts of doing their stuff other than their territory, for men, when you have to "go", you just have to go....

papano kung LBM ka and nasa office ka sa Makati then and bahay mo sa Fairview.

I will be very surprised kung sinabi mong NEVER ka pa nakaebak sa public CRs.

[uls]

haha

oo napupunit ang tissue

i'm just pointing out the principle behind the use of toilet paper

di ko na isasama dito ang discussion ng failure of tissue paper to function as intended

hehe

kaya din naimbento ang underground sewerage system

para hindi kumalat ang sakit

kung above ground or sa kalye magflow ang human waste (which meron parin lugar sa Pinas na ganyan) tapos kamay pa ang panglinis ng pw3t...

ewan ko lang

kaya laganap ang hepatitis A and cholera sa atin
