Indeed, thanks for the update.
Melco is one of the Ho family stable, so they make sure they get their cut at every level, even though Galaxy is one of the casinos outside the SJM ones.

Hi Everyone, am back with another update. Seems I misunderstood. Her renewal was for 1 year and not 2. She paid around $10K plus $3K for visa last year. She's just completed another year, and the agency told her they will not be renewing. They said they need to be fair and give others a chance in the Philippines. The placement fee is now $18-20K for new recruits. Helper's daughter is devastated. She's approaching other agencies in Macau and hoping she gets lucky. {fingers crossed}
This should be so damn illegal.
Obviously they want to be "fair" so they c as n get a new crop to milk, probably physically as well as financially.
I do find it interesting that you report that she seems to be happy in this job.
Do you by chance have any info about the hours and pay she gets?
Best of luck to her regardless! It's very helpful and kind of you to keep updating this thread.
She's ambitious and loves being independent and she also contributes to the family's savings. From what I hear she's always open to do overtime and has 1 day off a week. They do get paid for the overtime and I think she makes anywhere from $10,000 -15,000/mth.
Her mother is going over this weekend for moral support. Should have more information to share next week.
What I would like to add on this for Filipinos, save damn money, get a job in hotel or* industry in Spain, and after 2 years apply for a Spanish citizenship & get EU passport.
This is a good example of how you get screwed as a shareholder in HK listed companies. The families owning the listed entities finds hundreds of ways of lining their own pockets in privately owned companies sucking of the teet of the listed entity. As a shareholder you are non the wiser, except when you look at the long term stock performance which is flat and at the same time the majority owner family has increased their wealth threefold..
