Labor groups denounced Ambassador to Brazil Marichu Mauro for allegedly maltreating her maid and consequently embarrassing the Philippines and all Filipinos before the world community. A group representing domestic workers called on the government to mete justice on Mauro and make her pay reparations to her former maid. Trampling on human dignity“The government should act on this so she would be punished and held accountable for trampling on the dignity of a domestic worker,” United’s president, Novelita Palisoc, said. Another group, Migrante Philippines, demanded that aside from being dismissed from the foreign service, Mauro should also face charges in court. Duterte OKs probeDuterte, who appointed Mauro ambassador to Brazil in 2018, has also approved an investigation of the envoy, who has been a diplomat for over 20 years.
