Oh dearie, bad Filipinas,right? But hey, maybe, just maybe they were seen with
more potential as teachers than those native speakers of English that's why
they were hired instead.

There he goes. How well do you know about Filipinas in Hongkong? I worked in
Hongkong in the '90s as an assistant to a defence/se lawyer from the UK. You were
right, most of us didn't work as teachers of English NOT because we are not
native speakers of the language but because of the job orders available for Filipinos
in the place, that's WHY. Job offers for us were for offices, banks, the railroads/tunnels,
hotels, and househelps/nannies.

As for Filipinas going to Hongkong to shop for signature clothers and everything, that's
their own business, not yours.
