Good news ito para sa mga household. House Bill 553 or the Magna Carta for Household Helpers and its counterpart bill in the Senate, Senate Bill 78 or the Act of Providing for Additional Benefits and Protection to House Helpers. Marami matutulungan at makakakuha pa sila ng mga benefits just like regular employee.
