Chip Tsao called Philippines “A Nation of Servants”
Published by: Eron of Talk Loud | Dated: 31st of March, 2009A couple of days ago, a racist have announced his anger towards a group of fellow human beings, the Filipino race, and his name is Chip Tsao. He made this action because of the issue on Spratly Islands. To further know more about him, Chip Tsao is a best-selling author and a columnist. BBC’s former reporter, his columns have also appeared in Apple Daily, Next Magazine and CUP Magazine and others. With the said news, Filipinos from all over the world started to throw words to the said person.

Here’s the complete article:
Title: The War At Home
Dated: March 27th, 2009
Source: http://hk-magazine.com/feature/war-homeThe Russians sank a Hong Kong freighter last month, killing the seven Chinese seamen on board. We can live with that—Lenin and Stalin were once the ideological mentors of all Chinese people. The Japanese planted a flag on Diàoyú Island. That’s no big problem—we Hong Kong Chinese love Japanese cartoons, Hello Kitty, and shopping in Shinjuku, let alone our round-the-clock obsession with karaoke.
But hold on—even the Filipinos? Manila has just claimed sovereignty over the scattered rocks in the South China Sea called the Spratly Islands, complete with a blatant threat from its congress to send gunboats to the South China Sea to defend the islands from China if necessary. This is beyond reproach. The reason: there are more than 130,000 Filipina maids working as $3,580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong. As a nation of servants, you don’t flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter.
As a patriotic Chinese man, the news has made my blood boil. I summoned Louisa, my domestic assistant who holds a degree in international politics from the University of Manila, hung a map on the wall, and gave her a harsh lecture. I sternly warned her that if she wants her wages increased next year, she had better tell every one of her compatriots in Statue Square on Sunday that the entirety of the Spratly Islands belongs to China.
Grimly, I told her that if war breaks out between the Philippines and China, I would have to end her employment and send her straight home, because I would not risk the crime of treason for sponsoring an enemy of the state by paying her to wash my toilet and clean my windows 16 hours a day. With that money, she would pay taxes to her government, and they would fund a navy to invade our motherland and deeply hurt my feelings.
Oh yes. The government of the Philippines would certainly be wrong if they think we Chinese are prepared to swallow their insult and sit back and lose a Falkland Islands War in the Far East. They may have Barack Obama and the hawkish American military behind them, but we have a hostage in each of our homes in the Mid-Levels or higher. Some of my friends told me they have already declared a state of emergency at home. Their maids have been made to shout “China, Madam/Sir” loudly whenever they hear the word “Spratly.” They say the indoctrination is working as wonderfully as when we used to shout, “Long live Chairman Mao!” at the sight of a portrait of our Great Leader during the Cultural Revolution. I’m not sure if that’s going a bit too far, at least for the time being.
end of article.
This man really thinks that he knows everything. What if, all of a sudden, all Filipinos (servants as he just entitled) just move out of Hong Kong? What would happen to the economy of his country? First, mothers will start to leave their respective works because they will be the one to do all the household jobs and the priority is taking care of their child or children. With these absentees, companies will not be able to move forward, income will be lessen and eventually a downfall for the economy.
A country will not defend a mistake done by a single person and we know that Hong Kong will not sacrifice its entire citizen and economy because of what Chip Tsao said. Remember that racism is an insult and an insult you gave is insults you gain.
Ngayon dapat gamitin ng ating mambabatas kung ano ang kaya nila gawin o aksyunan ang usapin ito!!! magbibingi bingihan naman ba tayo.. sa mga dayuhan gaano na lang tayo minamaliit… hindi simple salita o pahayag ang kelangan sa paninirang ginawa ng ma impluwensya sa pahayagan…
PGMA Gising !!!!!!
Bayan Lumaban!! kilos kilos
wow naku ang mga skolar na ang nambatikos sa chip munks na Chip Tsao!
alah kung nasaktan kayo, ako hindi kasi..
‘The War at Home’
ang realidad nyan hindi lang ma-express ni Chip Tsao na galit sya sa kapwa nya na chinese…
in his article mapapansin mu na inilalarawan nya na ang kanyang bansa ay umaasa lang sa mga pinoy ofw..
at yung ilang kapwa nilang chinese ay nawawalan na ng trabaho dahil mukhang occupado na ng mga pinoy… anu ba yan! Gumawa sya ng storya upang mapansin ng gobyerno nila na nasasadlak na rin sa pinansyal krisis ang katotohanan na dapat na sila ma-insecure dahil nawawalan na ng employment ang tau nila, napupunta lang sa mga Filipino lahat ng pinaghihirapan nilang pera kuno!
“The reason: There are more than 130,000 Filipina maids working as HK$3,580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong.”
abah hindi pa sya nakuntentu…
“you don’t flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter.”
ipinarinig nya eto sa mga pinay, pero patama sa inang bayan nila ang linyang eto, kasi ang master nila ay ang higanteng pula.. aminin nya man o hindi
isa syang takut na pusa sa dambuhalang daga na amo nya! sa totoo naman nagpasakop pa sila sa higanteng pula diba instead of magcrave sila na lumaya eh they don’t flex their muscles at their master, from whom they earn most of their bread and butter patama sa higanteng pula… ah hindi ko pala nakailmutan na alila din sila ng triads este anu ba yun thriads ng big red!
“gave her a harsh lecture”
harsh lecture? or torture? he mean that his kabayan now doing harsh things against Filipinos! dahil ingit sila! or baka naranasan din nila eto noon!
“but we have a hostage in each of our homes in the Mid-Levels or higher”
oh they have big nuber of hostages ever since, we oftenly hear real news regarding some ofws ikinulong at sinasaktan ng amo nila! ganun din nangyari sa ilan nilang kababayan sa kanilang mother land nuon!
” paying her to wash my toilet and clean my windows 16 hours a day”
maliwanag po ang nasabi nya nagmamalabis na sila sa mga pinoy! ang eksenang eto ay ginagawa nila para ibaling sa mga pinoy ang gulong nararamdaman at nararanasan nila sa kanilang bakuran na sila rin ay inaabuso din ng kanilang mga landlords!(sinu nga ba ang kanilang lords?)
bakit ba malayo sila sa Tibeth na nais nang kumawala sa higanteng pula?
oh ayan atah ang picture ng ‘The War at Home’ by Chip Tsao! looking sa dating buhay ng Hong Kong!
modernised na ang knilang bansa ah bakit hindi na nila i-asa pa sa mga robot yung gawaing bahay nila…
bwahahahaha buti pa ang robot i switch on mo pwede mo na alilain… at di na mag reresbak… pero ang taong nakaranas ng pag mamalabis nung sya ay isa pang alila di magtatagal kapag umasenso na gagagwin nya rin ito sa kanyang kapwa kahit sa kanyang alipin na tumulong sa kanya upang bumangon!
what the hell?!
cno ba tong instik na toh at kung magsalita eh feeling nya eh ang galing galing ng mga kalahi nya?!
i don’t give a @!* kng best selling author cya at former reporter cya ng BBC. with the article that he wrote, he just showed everybody how ill-mannered he and the rest of his people is.
how dare he insult all the OFWs working in Hong Kong?! sa tingin ba nya eh maka2 function ng maayos ung pinaka ma2hal nyang bansa kng wala ang mga OFW?!
feeling nya eh ang galing-galing ng mga kalahi nya, i would rather be an OFW than be @!*ing best selling chinese author who doesn’t know the meaing of respect!
They say he’s already sent an official apology.
Yeah, right.
The guy’s probably sending an apology just to shut people up. He doesn’t really care. A person who’s able to write something that degrading shows a mind that’s equally degraded.
Way to go Chip. Your education and literary awards mean nothing now. People like you should never be allowed to write anything publicly.
Except in toilets.
i heard his apology first before i got to read his article. after i read his article, i wanted to shout, “yeah he really DID make an excuse!”
his low perspective towards filipinos was really shown in his article.
napakayabang.
yap. he’s not educated. he doesn’t even know what “respect” means. all he knows is he’s great. but in reality he’s not.
ei! such ignorant point of view and irresponsible comment only magnifies the already torn image of your beloved country … piracy, human rights violators and corruption .. name it they have it all . Fortunately, there are still good chinese citizen that I know far better person from this “Cheap” I mean Tsip Chao …
Guys,
Tanong ko lang ano ba ginagawa nang isang OFW di ba to serve, ano tawag sa taong nag seserve? di ba servant?. Logic lang yan! Eh madaming pinoy na gnito sympre ang impression nang iba gnyan tayo MAJORITY COUNTS NGA EH!
“Mahirap tlga tangapin ang katotohanan”, tayo mga inapi nagagalit pero pag tayo naman nang-api aba ang galing natin. Nagbabalat sibuyas eh kanga. Lam nyu kng totoo may IBUBUGA TAU, dapat wla nang OFW, at kung magagaling tayong pinoy then nasa first world na tau.
Di ako kampi d2 sa nagsulat na ito inuusisa ko kasi kng bakit nya un sinabi eh natuklasan ko na marami nga na gnitong OFW, then tlgang i understand now.
Hirap kasi sa atin panay emotion nang emotion ginagamit kaya ito OFW parin tau!!!

“Respect must be earned” hindi ito binibigay kagad. Dont blame others kung gnyan tingin sa iyo, sabi nga ni Rizal
“Wlang tyrants kung WLANG SLAVE” AMEN!
[...] employer by issuing an apology for his 27th of March column in HK Magazine. This piece if writing enraged Filipinos from every corner of the globe, as Chip labels the Philippines a country of servants [...]
have you seen in movies,TVs or even in real life that we make fun of people with black skin, we call them negro,panget etc… and also chinese we make fun on their accent and we even sing butchiki…
now if its our turn to be joke then we cry and say foul.. lets clean first our own house!!!!
@!* mo cheap tsao! bakit mo sinabi ang totoo kay juan de la cruz? masakit ang katotohanan!
fyi cheap tsao, i printed your picture and we’re currently using it for target practice for pistols and rifles. you looked so good with all the bullet holes in your face. soon little man, lintik lang ang walang ganti!
I’m afraid it’s not the first time he has done it. He also called our president Barack Obama a monkey who likes to steal ladies underwears. It begs the question, why does the editor of the HK mag allow a person as racist as him to spread his message of hate through his/her magazine? I would love to think that it was something that just slipped through, but it would not be very comforting if they continued to pay him for writing in the political column in the HK magazine. I cannot by good conscience pick up a copy of the magazine knowing that I’m supporting this ignorant racist finacially in anyway.
Well done Chip, you have created a buzz for the HK mag but I’m afraid in doing so you have tainted your own credibilty, if that matters to you at all.
I’m ready to defend the 3 stars and the sun.
Manila ang sabi ng iba ay Maynila.
Tayo’y isinilang para upang di maging alila ng kahit nino mang sino mang dayuhan.
Mandirigmang mga likas na matapang. Guerilyero, Katipunero mga Marino.
Handang ipagtanggol ng mga sundalong pinoy Hoy! Gising! Huwag nang mabahala siyempre coz I’m the man from Manila.
where ready to depend the three star in the sun!!!
A former reporter who may be fading this article really gave him a break but at the expense of the Filipina maids in Hongkong. The guy Reality was right, and if I may add we Filipinos can not be great as servants to other nations specially to Hongkong who once our servant too in our great economic years.
a typical communist chinese mentality, how i wish iwanan sya ng kanyang “pinay servant” for him to realize what he is talking about…..
” This is beyond reproach. The reason: there are more than 130,000 Filipina maids working as $3,580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong. ”
Chip, you forgot to mention something “the US$100 monthly wage” for chinese labor, the cheapest of them all….
Chip, way to go! I applaud your courage - first and foremost, to write something that you sincerely feel was correct and non abusive to Filipinos. Let me get back to that in a while.
Sure, you have your own sentiments about Spratly Islands and you are most certainly entitled to voice out what you feel. However, insulting the very people that cook for you or for a lot of HK residents, clean their household, look after their children? Man…. that was really gutsy!
I can throw you a lot of abusive comments but will not attempt to; simply because it is not worth it and quite a boring task. What I am excited about, which takes me back to the kind of courage you have, is what possibly this thousands of Filipinos in HK can do to you! Surely one of them may take this personally and just show you a response you’re not quite prepared for. Hell, it could be your own Filipino maid that had the benefit of geography lessons from you - waiting for you with a meat cleaver or some gourmet rat poison when you come home from work. Whatever it is, you are my Rambo in the writing arena. Fearless & strong - but stupid.
Cheap Tsao, intelligent people like must think a hundred times before publishing an article that could hurt millions of people.You are lucky to have someone who could do the dirty jobs in your house or else you will be more filthy that the human waste
It hurts, right? Don’t sit around, do something about it. If you forget the personality who wrote this and look at this in a factual way, is it not true? Do you know how the Filipinas are treated in Japan? They are considered cheap and wasteful women? Even the cats and dogs in Japan are honored better than the poor Filipina ladies. Who is to be blamed? Not Chinese or Japanese but the Philipinos themselves. Protect your women and children.
Take the example of the Sri Lankan President. He eradicated the export of housemaids of Sri Lanka to the middle east. These women were used as sex workers of a different nature. It was a severe blow to our cultural and religious heritage. So our President single-handedly stopped this non-sense. Some journalist from China, need not say this. He has to first look at what his country women are doing? I hope he will write something that will stir up the emotions of those Chinese ladies!
There is nothing wrong with being called, “a nation of servants.” Mr. Tsao can even add, “a nation of CORRUPT DEBTORS” considering the loans we got from CHINA only to end up in the pockets of our so-called PUBLIC SERVANTS!
So goes the cliche, THE TRUTH HURTS! But that’s it! Our country’s major export is MANPOWER! Filipino teachers end up as nannies in HK. Our nurses work as caregivers in Canada and topping it all, Filipino doctors end up as nurses in the US—all for the sake of a hope for a better life for their loved ones in the Philippines.
But oh well, I still wish somebody would sone day call us “A NATION OF ENTERPRENEURS AND INNOVATORS!”
@ reality
good lord i am an ofw but i am not a servant. im a skilled worker not serving any chinese master. if you can accept this insult i dont know what else can wake you up do defend your race. so what if we are a nation of servant reality? does it mean we are less respectable?

Philippines will not gain soveriengty over Spratly Islands if doesnt really belong to the Filipino people. Give what is due to Juan and give what is due to Paul…..China and Philippines have good relationship politicaly and economicaly. But people like Cheap Tsao kind of ruining it. Yes, it might be true that we serve people but we are also MASTERS!!!! Letit be known that Cheap Tsao is also a SERVANT himself!!!
A Chinese is calling the free country of the Philippines a nation of servants. Mistaking hard work to servitude, this is the result of communism. Chinses people are a slave to the state, they do not own anything all their property and money belong to the state. They are force to working, both husband and wife to support a lifestyle granted them for being good servants of the state. They are force to hire good hard working FREE people to raise their families because they have to work and do not have a choice. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the land. Spratly Island are ruled by FREE People of the of the 3 Stars and Sun, the sun is setting the the land of the rising sun. Communism will always fail because its own peole will long to have the FREDOM the Philippines have. FREEDOM comes at a price and the Philipinos know they have worked hard for the price of FREEDOM which is something Chinese people cannot afford at this time. Some day Chinese will realize who the servants are…. Mark
Typical Coward Chinamen and Colonial penis sucker:
come to Indonesia and open your mouth- we will show you the anger of the “fancuko”
We will burn every single one of you filthy cowardly snivelling yellow insects
Indonesia fully supports our oppressed BROTHERS and SISTERS of Philippines.
Indonesia will fight to the bitter death to destroy our shared enemy: the hated YELLOW COLONIAL PARASITE- the CHINAMAN.
pratleys belong to PHILLIPPINES! Not inferior yellow scum like Vietnam or Ching Chong man
Who exports Philippine maids?
Chinaman
Who cuts 60% of poor maids salary?
Chinaman
Who rapes, abuses or molests Philippine maids?
Chinaman
Who forces Philippine women to work as sex slaves especially on internet?
Chinaman
Who sucked the penis of the PSaniards and Americans enslavers?
Chinaman!
Chinese CHOSE to impose their
illegal, non-assimilating and often hostile and uninvited presence upon the Bumiputera/Pribumi/orang asli people.
Chinese CHOSE to enrich themselves at the expense of the native in racially prejudicial colonial systems.
Chinese CHOSE to be keen often brutal colonial collaborators.
Chinese CHOSE to continue their clannism, monopolism, cronyism and corruption of law and due process for insatiable greed.
Chinese in Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines are the root cause of corruption, deforestation, exotic animal-parts trade and all manner of vice- including total monopolies on illegal gambling, child pornography, sex slavery, tiger bones and skins, drugs manufacture and trafficking and human organs.
Chinese are an uninvited non-assimilating clannish colonial import. The British, Dutch and Spanish imported the Chinese to destroy local indigenous authority, confiscate indigenous lands for cash-crop plantations- to be run, administered and brutally enslave the indigenous as forced labour.
Chinese total arrogance, contempt for the natives nd racism is rife- best summarised in the infamous Chinese phrase:
“one white covers a thousand defects”- yet they cleverly lie, swindle and manipulate the media to portray themselves as a blameless victim.
What does Ching Chong Chinaman call Austronesians:?
Fancuko Barbaric savage
King Rama of Thailand labeled the Chinese parasites of South East Asia as the “Jews of the East” for very good reason. Their well-documented racism, culutral chauvinism, usury predatory cowboy-capitalism, monopolization, clannish secretism and extraordinary greed- motivating them to seek money wherever and whenever possible has made them the hated middleman minority throughout all of South East Asia.
Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Myanamr and Indonesia will NEVER forget white colonial and Chinese rape, robbery and slavery.
Indonesia will FOREVER keep the glorious bright torch of hereditary hatred of the filthy Chinaman until we expel or incinerate every last one out of our native South East Asian homelands!
Burn all Chinese! Kebakaran Semua Wong Singke! Wong Singke Mati!

As an OFW, nothing makes you even feel smaller than when you go home to a country that only has an “open palms” instead of “open arms” for us. Has anyone even looked at the big picture here? The domestic helpers counterparts in the Philippines has got the lowest income and form of respect that I have ever known.
Tsao is basically putting a mirror in front of us. Let’s see what we are all about let’s look at ourselves as a nation. Are we as a nation worthy of respect? Why the massive exodus of our countrymen away from home and far from their loved ones?
I first heard of this article while on my ship, working with Fillipinos. I honestly could not understand what the fuzz was about.
Having read it, that you’re angry only proves to me the lack of scope in the fillipino intellect. You take what he writes at face value without understanding the context. Angry that someone pushes a few uncomfortable buttons.
Instead of behaving like children, perhaps you should ask yourself why all of you have degrees in something or another, yet, never reach above the junior ranks. That you refuse responsibility at every opportunity. That your politcal system is in shambles. That one family member is expected to work months, even years, while the rest of you sit around freeloading.
As a nation, reflection and insight would do you a world of good.
And remember, we only keep you around because you are cheap.
The Philippines should reform everything. We have reach natural resources. It does hurt me to see a Filipinos are suffering of poverty. They’re servants in other countries just to send money back to their families. How many politicians are concern about this issues? I hope, the corruptions will end. I’m just hoping that these corrupt politicians and others are waking up. I doubt they have no clue how much we Filipinos are exploited all over the internet. They’re busy pretentiously boastful to their neighbors, friends, and associates. They’re so proud sucking Filipino monies. I don’t hate Tsao for this. He should keep this up to open our corrupt Filipinos eyes. I’m not worrying about Obama.
I’
He has no right to do such!! Without OFWs, THEY ARE NOTHING!!! Who would help them in so many ways?? What if one day, karma stikes at him?? What will he do?? What if he takes the place of a Filipino worker? Would he understand?? Oh well, why are you such a jerk?? You know nothing about Filipinos!!
narinig ko na tong topic na to eh. hay dami dapat ausin at dapat isipin hindi ang tulad nito - Go Pinoy
let’s all support the Aquino family! for leading our country
He has no right to do such!! Without OFWs, THEY ARE NOTHING!!! Who would help them in so many ways?? What if one day, karma stikes at him?? What will he do?? What if he takes the place of a Filipino worker? Would he understand?? Oh well, why are you such a jerk?? You know nothing about Filipinos!! - yup I agree with you
CHINESE PEOPLE ARE THE LOWEST HUMAN BEING OF ALL ! ! ! ! TELL YOUR COUNTRY MEN TO LEAVE AND STOP RAPING OUR COUNTRY.
People, people the article was mean’t as satire. Do you really think that he was being serious? It was a joke gone wrong, and he apologized. I live in HK, and I had to state my perspective on this to my Filipina wife, who, naturally, was incensed at this article. He must have touched a raw nerve, judging from the angry reactions of many people here.
It’s understandable to be upset, but I don’t know why so many took this ‘article’ so seriously when it was obvious to many that this article was tongue-in-cheek, meant NOT to be taken as fact.
Brother & sister cousins of Indonesia!
Join with vanguard Garuda of ASEAN- the nation that has expelled Chinamen hundreds of times.
Indonesia is ruled for the native only. Chinamen are merely little penis-sucking grovellers who eat the scraps the dog rejects.
Philippines for the Philippines only. Burn all Chinamen!
Dear Friends:
Chinese Communist’s invasion of Southeast Asia’s waters, which has stirred up the regional stability, NTHF, a US-based NGO, has started a campaign to call for the replacing of the name “South China Sea” with “Southeast Asia Sea”.

We need your help to spread the word out to the people of the Philippines.
Act now to protect your national security.

Thank you.
He also called our president Barack Obama a monkey who likes to steal ladies underwears.

As a hk chinese, I feel ashamed of Chip Tsao for making such ignorant and culturally insensitive comments about the Fillipinos, and even the Chinese. He defended such comments as “satire”, but it fails miserably because it’s simply bad taste to use obvious stereotypes to make fun of the international conflicts. He should have done better than this. I expect a five-year-old to come up with this kind of gibberish, but someone who’s supposed to be “one of HK’s most outspoken thinkers”.
I don’t support indescrimate kidnappings and killings of chinese business men and their families by wayward filipinos. But when you hear or read such comments from a Chinese… you couldn’t help thinking… “serves them right”. But it is not right. We are all humans regardless of race. There are no excuses for these acts. One would think, is Chip Tau doing this just to earn a living? bec that is also what these kidnappers do. Of all creatures on Earth humans are the only ones gifted with emotions, yet most of the time we humans pretend like we don’t have one.
