The Philippines's ambassador to Brazil was dismissed after having mistreated one of the employees at her residence in Brassialia for months.
President Rodrigo Dutterte fired the former ambassador, following videos and images that became viral everywhere on social networks.
Duterte, who signed Mauro's discharge papers the day before, said: “There are rules to be followed. If someone fails, he/she will face consequences. ”
Mauro, who did not respond to an AFP request for an interview, will lose her pension rights and will no longer be allowed to work in a public office.
