PUB NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 2012 FINAL.Pub VOLUME 2 ISSUE 4 The PNANE FOCUS August —September 2012 Page NEWSLETTER DATE PNANE FOCUS The Official Newsletter of the Philippine Nurses Association of New England (PNANE), Inc. Member: Philippine Nurses Association of America FALL ISSUE Volume 2 Issue 3 August—September , 2012 ANNIVERSARY ISSUE OUR MISSION The Philippine Nurses Association of New England (PNANE) is an official non-profit professional organization that upholds the image and preserves the cultural contributions of Filipinos and Filipino-American nurses in the United - States of America. The POWER of PNANE lives on! Dorothy’s Narrative: From her Philippine Heritage to Building Nicaraguan Health Care I was born in Los Angeles, California on December 8, 1930 during the Great Depression. My mother was second generation Mexican-American and my father, Filipino. The Oriental Exclusion Laws prohibited Asian men from marrying white women; a law not repealed until the 1950’s. We were very poor, and I was considered a “bastard”. I ex- perienced very early the classism and racism imposed by the dominant, white society. Since I was a small child I have wanted to be a nurse. I remember bringing home small, injured animals and trying to repair them. As I look back, I understand that I was trying to mend my own brokenness. As I grew older I began to under- stand that my healing was reliant on and intertwined with the healing of others. After being expelled from my second year high school I went to the Philippines with my father to find a high school from which I could graduate. The strict Do- minican sisters at Santa Catarina in Intramuros saw that this happened. At the University of Santo Tomas I sought admission to nursing school. I was refused and told that I was not suited for nursing and should study medicine instead. My family was upper-class and did not support my desire to study nursing. I reluc- tantly left the Islands to return to nursing school in Los Angeles. This was sad since I had come to love the country and its warm, generous people. Through trying to understand what causes illness I have also learned that politi- cal, economic and religious ambitions are often the root causes of poverty, war, displacement and social disorder. These forces create illness and prevent health. Health requires an environment of tranquility that enables the development of those elements that promote health: human rights, decent work, clean water, adequate food, care of the environment and basic health ser-vices. Nursing has led me to be active in efforts to eliminate the death penalty, prevent nuclear war, and accompany the lead- ership of families of those that disappeared in Guatemala. The path ultimately brought me to Nicaragua where the United States was waging war against a poor country whose government was brought to power by popular struggle against a U.S. supported dictatorship. In Nicaragua, still at war when I arrived in 1985, it seemed that I could be most useful by joining a group of war displaced women to help them in the work of re-building their community. Through a small health clinic, whose core was women’s health, we worked to create conditions to support a healthy community including reconciliation of former enemies. Currently I am working with Traditional Midwives and other Community Health Workers to help them improve their already vast store of skills and create conditions for healthy families and communities to the end that there are no more maternal and infant death. The health system in Nicaragua has improved greatly; however, traditional health workers in communities need continuing education and consistent support in order to help them do the essential work to create better conditions of health.

Panizales, MSN, RN Comfort is relative, it is what one feels at the moment, a concept that is built from experience, past and present. As nurses, we are very much concern of our patients comfort. We looked beyond what we see and the meaning of what our patient tells us in order to decipher the essence of being comfortable. From here on, the nurse applies the necessary measures to attain the goal of providing comfort. As a person and a nurse, I reflect on what has been my comfort zone. Do I go beyond the norms of being a nurse in my profession? What is considered a norm? Is it my professionally assigned shift, the 8-5 routine office hours, the tasks assigned that needs to be completed or the leadership role I provide to others at an assigned moment? Oh yes, the routine task is where comfort resides. But are there other ways that my role as a nurse can very much expand and be a trail blazer in helping move health care beyond the nor- mal paradigm of an institution? Do I share my voice to be heard? Do I concern myself with what is happening beyond the four walls of my comfort zone? As a nurse, the entire community within and beyond is part of me. I am not a silo that exists to navigate just one path nor do I see my patient just because of their presenting illness. I am not limited to what I see and do while ministering care, for I know that this is just the tip of the iceberg. For much of the why of the moment, and what is about to happen in the healing phase, where much of my profession focuses, is affected by multiple factors that reflect back to the community. My community is where one can see the impact and interplay of social, political, economic, cultural and spiritual factors to the health and well being of its members. To find one is to open a Pandora ’s Box revealing root causes, too simple yet complex enough if a concerted effort is not utilized to solve the challenge. Yes, we cannot solve all but to not do anything makes one an accessory to the crime of neglect - for we are that community . __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DOROTHY (From page 1) The greatest challenges, to date, have been the illiteracy of nearly half of the Midwives and Health Workers as well as a lack of ap- preciation of the workers vital importance on the part of some nurses and doctors in the health department. To respond to the lack of literacy, workers are being enrolled in literacy classes. To gain the respect of “professional” health workers, we are working hard to up-grade the performance of Midwives and Community Health Workers. As the workers’ performance improves, health indicators will improve. The greatest gain of the program is the enthusiastic response of the Traditional Midwives and Community Health Workers who are eager to learn new skills and improve old knowledge. Traditional Midwives and Community Health Workers are the heroes of the health system. I would ask young people and health workers to look into their hearts and find their dreams and their pain, and work toward healing as they realize their deepest dreams. The people of the Philippines have a rich history of resistance to oppression as well as an un- derstanding of what it is to be a human being.

  • BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 Hours)
    BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 hours) Eat your way around Binondo, the Philippines’ Chinatown. Located across the Pasig River from the walled city of Intramuros, Binondo was formally established in 1594, and is believed to be the oldest Chinatown in the world. It is the center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino-Chinese merchants, and given the historic reach of Chinese trading in the Pacific, it has been a hub of Chinese commerce in the Philippines since before the first Spanish colonizers arrived in the Philippines in 1521. Before World War II, Binondo was the center of the banking and financial community in the Philippines, housing insurance companies, commercial banks and other financial institutions from Britain and the United States. These banks were located mostly along Escólta, which used to be called the "Wall Street of the Philippines". Binondo remains a center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino- Chinese merchants and is famous for its diverse offerings of Chinese cuisine. Enjoy walking around the streets of Binondo, taking in Tsinoy (Chinese-Filipino) history through various Chinese specialties from its small and cozy restaurants.

  • Vigía: the Network of Lookout Points in Spanish Guam
    Vigía: The Network of Lookout Points in Spanish Guam Carlos Madrid Richard Flores Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center There are indications of the existence of a network of lookout points around Guam during the 18th and 19th centuries. This is suggested by passing references and few explicit allusions in Spanish colonial records such as early 19th Century military reports. In an attempt to identify the sites where those lookout points might have been located, this paper surveys some of those references and matches them with existing toponymy. It is hoped that the results will be of some help to archaeologists, historic preservation staff, or anyone interested in the history of Guam and Micronesia. While the need of using historic records is instrumental for the abovementioned purposes of this paper, focus will be given to the Chamorro place name Bijia. Historical evolution of toponymy, an area of study in need of attention, offers clues about the use or significance that a given location had in the past. The word Vigía today means “sentinel” in Spanish - the person who is responsible for surveying an area and warn of possible dangers. But its first dictionary definition is still "high tower elevated on the horizon, to register and give notice of what is discovered". Vigía also means an "eminence or height from which a significant area of land or sea can be seen".1 Holding on to the latter definition, it is noticeable that in the Hispanic world, in large coastal territories that were subjected to frequent attacks from the sea, the place name Vigía is relatively common.

  • Looking Beyond the Walls
    Looking Beyond the Walls It was a sunny morning when Jose Estrella decided to take a walk by the Maestranza plaza in Intramuros, Manila City. Estrella was the administrator of the Intramuros Administration (IA), an organization attached to the Department of Tourism (DOT) of the Philippines. He was walking by the plaza because he wanted to check on the current state of Maestranza in preparation for several meetings he had lined up for the week. A concert had recently been held at the Maestranza plaza, and an exhibit had been held a few weeks ago. A civic organization was currently eying Maestranza as the venue for its annual meeting six months from now. A few years back, however, this portion of Intramuros where the Pasig River can be seen had an unwelcoming sewage-like smell that dominated a person’s senses. It consequently was not a pleasurable place for a walk. There were informal settlers who had made their homes and lives right in the middle of the street, blocking important historical markers and obstructing the view of Pasig River as well as portions of the historic walls of Manila. A few meters from Maestranza were ruins of what used to be the Central Bank of the Philippines. No matter how historic and rich in potential this area was, it was not a prime tourism destination. As the administrator of Intramuros, Estrella was proud that in the two years’ time since he had assumed his position, the plaza had a facelift, allowing it to become a viable venue for different events and an open space good for a morning or afternoon stroll.

Scott, author of Rampage: MacArthur, Yamashita and The Battle of Manila Save $1,000 per couple when booked by September 6, 2019 Dear Friend of the Museum, Manila, often called the “Pearl of the Orient,” was the star of steamship ads and tourism brochures in the early 1900s. Populated with elegant neoclassical buildings and spacious parks, this spoil of the Spanish-American War developed over the years into a small slice of the United States in Asia, home not only to thousands of service members but also business executives and their families, all of whom enjoyed the relaxed pace of the tropics. The outbreak of another world war, however, brought an end to the good life. Hoping to spare the capital, General Douglas MacArthur, who lived atop the . luxurious Manila Hotel, declared it an open city and evacuated his forces to the Bataan Peninsula and the fortified island of Corregidor. American and Filipino defenders battled the Japanese for months before Bataan fell in April 1942, followed a month later by Corregidor. What ensued, for the more than 70,000 captured troops, was one of the greatest tragedies of World War II—the notorious “Bataan Death March,” followed by years in Japan’s wretched prisoner of war camps. In Manila, American and Allied civilians would likewise battle terror and starvation, locked up for more than three years behind the iron gates of the University of Santo Tomas, one of the largest internment camps in Asia.

  • Chapter Sixteen Our Apostolate Today Epilogue
    Chapter Sixteen Our Apostolate Today Epilogue HOUSES OF FORMATION St. Vincent's Seminary We have already seen that the House of Karuhatan, in Polo, Bulacan was first occupied in 1948 by Fr. Juguera with four Filipino novices and one lay Brother, to whom were soon added a group of novices, scholastics and two priests exiled from China. In 1950 our Apostolic School, St. Vincent's Seminary was established there. In 1953 a new building was erected for Minor Seminarians. Most Reverend Gaetano Mignani, C. M., a missionary Bishop expelled from China, blessed the cornerstone of the new building. On June 17, 1955 the first novices from the Apostolic School were housed also in the Seminary of Valenzuela, Bulacan. They remained there with the Minor Seminarians, until 1960 when they were transferred to San Miguel, Bulacan. On June 8, 1959, through the efforts of the Seminary Rectors, Fr. Eulogio Coello and Fr. Modesto Lopez, a temporary permit was ob­ tained from the Government to operate the school, officially recognizing its offering of "A Complete Classical Secondary Course." Ten years later, on July 7, 1969, another temporary permit was obtained for a "Complete Secondary Course under 2-2 Plan". On June 29, 1970, official Recognition was obtained. From 1950 to 1975, a period of 25 years, there were 631 students who passed through the portals of St. Vincent's Seminary. One hundred fifty-nine of these were able to reach the Novitiate and Major Seminary. All the Filipino Vincentian priests (41) starting from the group of Fr. Macazo and Fr. Ramos were students of this Apostolic School.
