Employers to pay Filipino maids more?

Pay maids from the Philippines more.

That is what employers here may have to do, some maid agencies say.

The Philippine Embassy has asked them to stick to regulations that say the maids must be paid a monthly salary of at least US$400 (S$493).

Non-government groups that help migrant workers here welcome the move, but some employers do not and say they may consider employing maids from other countries like Myanmar and Sri Lanka.
