Starting January, Filipino household service workers (HSWs) in Singapore will received a monthly salary increase of SGD$50.
The increase was made when Singaporean agencies agreed after the Association of Employment Agencies Singapore (AEAS) come to an agreement with the Philippine Embassy three years ago to avoid exchange rate fluctuations.
