H is for Rose Hancock, A-Z of Filipino Cultural Exports
Rose Hancock (b. 1948) is the Australian definition of Filipino Gold Digger. ‘The House of Hancock’ launched on Aussie TV network, Channel 9, in early 2015 as a two part true-drama. The story follows Filipino ex-maid Rose Hancock and her courtship to Australia’s wealthiest man, the now deceased iron-ore mining tycoon Lang Hancock. British audiences may be more familiar with Lang’s daughter Gina Rinehart, the richest woman in the world, with an estimated £13 billion to her name, for her bold allegations against the working poor. The TV drama chooses not to sympathise with either women in Lang’s life, portraying them with humour, as both victim and villain.
