Piers Morgan Pays Emotional Tribute to His Longtime Filipina Housekeeper Cory on Her 40th Birthday — 'She Keeps Our Lives Running'
British broadcaster and media personality Piers Morgan took to social media to pay an emotional tribute to his longtime housekeeper — a Filipina named Cory — on the occasion of her 40th birthday. The post quickly went viral, resonating with millions of overseas Filipino workers and their employers around the world.
Morgan, who is known for his sharp tongue and combative interview style, showed a completely different side as he expressed gratitude for Cory's years of devoted service to his family. "She keeps our lives running," he said, acknowledging the invisible labor that household workers perform daily — often without recognition or fanfare.
The tribute struck a chord because it represents something many Filipino domestic workers rarely receive: public acknowledgment from their employers. There are an estimated 2.2 million Filipino domestic workers deployed overseas, many of them in Europe and the Middle East, who serve as the backbone of the households they work in.
Social media reactions were overwhelmingly positive, with Filipinos praising Morgan for recognizing Cory by name and celebrating her birthday publicly. "This is what good employers look like," one commenter wrote. "Sana lahat ng amo ganyan," said another — wishing all employers were as appreciative.
In a world where household workers are often invisible, Piers Morgan just gave one Filipina the spotlight she deserves. Happy birthday, Cory — from the Philippines, with pride. 🇵🇭
