Monday.COME "Reflections on the Manila Hostage Crisis"

In the recent hostage crisis, the Philippines has become the focus of our whole society. We come to the realization that in spite of the fact that many of us have Filipino domestic helpers, we barely know the country. In the coming Monday lunch meeting, Ms Elizabeth Tang from Confederation of Trade Unions, who has worked with trade unions and NGOs in the Philippines in the past decade, with be our guest speaker. She would talk about the politics, corruptions, and social problems. We would also reflect on the nature of Hong Kong society through the analysis of the responses and behaviors of the HK people in the crisis.
