00:00I went to the province of Catatuanes, 2012
00:02to cover the typhoon.
00:04But instead of covering the typhoon,
00:08I got to know Bonita Baran, the housemaid.
00:11She was locked from head to toe,
00:13and her back and face were repeatedly scratched by her bosses.
00:19GMA was the first to broadcast her story
00:21because everyone heard Bonita's story.
00:24There was an awareness in the situation of our housemaids
00:28that her bosses were imprisoned.
00:30Because the Congress and the Senate listened to her story,
00:34the process was accelerated.
00:36And in the same year,
00:37the housemaid bill was passed.
00:40Now, she is a housemaid lord.
