After centuries of being marginalized, househelps will finally have a law that will protect and promote their interests. Since February 2013, the Kasambahay Law, otherwise known as the "Domestic Workers Act" will become effective. These will professionalize the work of househelps, who across centuries have played a crucial role in the lives of Filipino families, rich or poor alike. Indeed, househelps have been integral and important in the Filipino family for centuries. Their work goes beyond mere physical maintenance and upkeep of the house, they have served as companions, friends, playmates and tutors of Filipino children in the households in which they are employed. It is just fitting and proper that this law, R.A. 10361, has finally come to fruition.
