Before I state my take on this, let me post his entire article here..
*****
The 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.

Alright, that's it. Bottomline is this: the concept of OFWs are far more different than the idea of servants, and I could not believe that this person would have the guts to compare us as such to the point that we were like lowlives existing for the sake of serving masters. My God. He even tackled the Spratlys issue to ignite further his point.
All I can say is, BRAVO. You deserve the entire Philippine nation's rage.
Suck it off Chip Tsao. To begin with, we're not servants. These OFWs are heroes. They risk off every drop of blood just to help their families and to provide better means for their children. Servitude is far more different than the OFW's line of work. Besides, we only serve one master. That is GOD. Second, Spratlys is truly ours. I don't even remember China owning this small piece of land from the very start. Third, you have no idea about what you're talking about. And lastly, you're a pathetic, mediocre, gay journalist who craves for attention.
One more thing: we Filipinos are far more better than you think, Tsao.
You don't deserve the Filipinos' respect, Tsao. This is offensive as such, and we can't let such an insult get through that easily.
For the OFWs who continously work up abroad, we salute you. You have no idea how much we are grateful for you guys.
For my fellow Filipinos, let us take a stand against these racist fags. Let us show them what truly Filipinos are.
Three Stars and A Sun!
