Cheap shot from a cheap Chip Tsao

In case you haven't heard of him, that's okay. Chip Tsao is a best-selling author and columnist -- in Hong Kong. Now, thanks to an article posted March 27 in the Hong Kong Magazine, most Filipinos are by now seething at him. He just replaced Malu Fernandez on the top spot on every Pinoy Hate List.

Random thoughts:

• Humor? Or suppressed emotions?
• If Tsao's maid Louisa is indeed for real, she should resign. (I tried and tried but did not find any online resource saying that the University of Manila offers a degree in international politics. Also, Pinays rarely spell it Louisa.) There are probably a handful of reasonable employers in Hong Kong.
  
• Filipina maids are working for cheap salaries thanks to cheap employers like Chip Tsao and the cheap policies of the Hong Kong government.
• He does not know what he triggered. Probably Filipino hackers are now working on his online accounts, and his smiling (not for long) image now adorns the dolls of every magbabarang on Siquijor island.
• A wiki entry says To Kit earned degrees from British universities, including a diploma in international relations from LSE. (His article makes good publicity for the LSE program.)
  

You can read Tsao's cheap shot. But I liked the reader reactions better. BTW, he also uses a pseudonym, To Kit.
