Abstract: This paper looks at discourses about migrant domestic workers (MDW) from different stakeholders to better understand the views these organizations have on MDWs’ social exclusion. Framing this as an issue of intercultural communication, I focus on the ‘cultures of knowledge production’ that are specific to each stakeholder. Findings show that the discourses of the migrant domestic worker-led organizations come from a culture of knowledge production that strongly emphasizes workers’ lived experiences. I show that this perspective usefully challenges social exclusion, but may not be taken up by other stakeholders. Ang papel na ito ay tumatalakay sa mga diskurso mula sa iba't ibang stakeholder tungkol sa mga migranteng manggagawa upang mas maunawaan ang kanilang pananaw sa social exclusion ng mga MDW. Nakatuon ako sa ‘cultures of knowledge production'’ ng bawat stakeholder. Natuklasan na ang mga diskurso ng mga organisasyong pinangunahan ng migranteng manggagawa ay nagmumula sa isang kultura ng produksyon ng kaalaman na nagbibigay-diin sa karanasan ng mga manggagawa. Ipinapakita ko na ang pananaw na ito ay magagamit upang hamunin ang sosyal na eksklusion, ngunit maaaring hindi ito tanggap ng ibang mga stakeholder.
