Super Maids...

No they aren't replacements for Darna and Captain Barbell. They aren't even new robot inventions. They're humans packed with additional skills -- as per the President.

Oh, they are domestic helpers +++.

I guess it's a good idea to enhance the skills of domestic helpers. Considering that a lot of the domestic helpers from Lebanon don't have work, such training would be a good leap.

It's a great idea to make them competitive. Yet, the government shouldn't just dwell on improving their domestic helping skills. There's uncertainty as to the availability of placement for our overseas workers affected by the crisis in Lebanon. The government should not bank on such training alone. Instead of making them "super maids", better yet, train them in another aspect to provide them with super skills.

P.S.

I find the term maid degrading...
