Why did you choose nursing as a career when you move to the US? <\/strong><\/span><\/em><br \/>\nI am a pediatric ICU nurse at White Memorial Medical Center, an Adventist Hospital, for 10 yrs now.  I was a full time visiting nurse for 5 years before that. I love my job and I find nursing very fulfilling especially when what I do make a difference in the life of a patient and his family.  At times, it is heartbreaking especially when a child dies. I have come to terms with death and dying.  As I tell my co-workers, \u201cWe are not gods; we can only do so much.  Let these kids pick up their wings, they have suffered enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/upvarrons.org\/Images\/Agnes_Nurse.jpg?resize=300%2C201&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Agnes Perez-Bartolome as a Nurse\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"10\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" align=\"right\" \/>I initially wanted to finish Food Tech but the universities offering it were far from L.A. Being a new immigrant I could not relocate and my husband &amp; and I got jobs in the Los Angeles area.  I could have been an underwriter for commercial insurance but I did not really like paper works.  Looking at ads in the newspaper, there were pages of nursing openings but I only saw 1 for Food Tech.  I really like working with people and nursing is not just a job.  It is a dedication. It is not just giving medications and shots.  It is sharing yourself through compassion.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>You mentioned to <\/em><\/span><span class=\"style7\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>Tudla<\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em> about being a member of the Gabriela organization. Can you give us a brief background about this organization (its objectives, when and where was it founded, current projects, membership, etc)?<\/em><\/span> <\/strong><br \/>\nGabriela Network (GabNet) is a Philippine-US women\u2019s solidarity mass organization. It is a multi-ethnic, multi-culture women\u2019s organization in solidarity with Gabriela Philippines. It was founded in 1989 in Chicago.  Among its founding members are Ninotchka Rosca, Raquel Sancho, Judith Mirkinson, and 50 other women including non-Filipinas.  GabNet provides the means by which Filipinas in the US can empower themselves, functions as training ground for women\u2019s leadership, and articulates the women\u2019s point of view.  GabNet effects change though organizing, educating, fundraising, networking, and advocacy.  Our other programs include: summer mentorship  for high school girls, leadership trainings for women, exposure trip(s) to different women\u2019s sector\/regions in the Philippines. One of our major campaigns is the Purple Rose campaign launched in Feb 2000.  Its objective is to stop the trafficking of Filipino women and children for sex and labor by means of media exposure, education, and networking.  Purple Rose had been initiated in different cities worldwide by different organizations we network with. We also participate in local committees involving women\u2019s issues in the city. GabNet seats in the steering committee of the ANSWER coalition which is the largest anti-war coalition in the US.  Our membership have roughly 200 members, seven chapters nationwide in New York, Chicago, Irvine, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Berkeley &#8211;  community and university based.<\/p>\n<p>For information about Gabnet, please visit its main site at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gabnet.org\">http:\/\/www.gabnet.org <\/a> or its Los Angeles chapter site at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/gabnetla\">http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/gabnetla<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>When did you become a member of GabNet? Why did you join? What is the extent of your involvement in GabNet?<\/strong><br \/>\nLos Angeles Chapter was formed in 1992 but I did not join until 1993.  Some women in Alliance for Philippine Concerns (APC), the Pilipino org I was a member of, attended a GabNet conference in San Francisco, CA and they started the LA chapter when they returned.  They invited me to join; I was hesitant but tried it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Initially I did not see why I should join an all women\u2019s organization if I believe that men and women are equal.  Only when I attended the Women\u2019s Conference in the Philippines that I realized that women are still unappreciated, undervalued, oppressed as a gender aside from its class oppression.  Only the women themselves can fight their own battles to be truly liberated.<\/p>\n<p>I am an active member.  I was the L.A. Chapter coordinator from 1995- 1999?.  I don\u2019t hold any position for a while now.  I am more involved in the local chapter activities in Los Angeles.  We have many young members who are running the organization.<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> We learned that GabNet is involved in trying to prevent human\/women trafficking. Can you describe to us the extent of the problem of human\/women trafficking? Can you provide us some relevant and informative statistics? And what is GabNet doing to address this problem? <\/span><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nThe trafficking of humans has been a problem for decades now.  Many women and even children leave their country of origin undocumented.  Some are made to believe that there are jobs waiting for them.  Even in the US and Canada, there are women who are recruited illegally and made to work in a sweat shop, prostitution den, and as undocumented domestic workers.<\/p>\n<p>More than 700,000 people are believed to be trafficked each year worldwide; some 50,000 to the United States. Trafficking is now considered the third largest source of profits for organized crime, behind only drugs and weapons, generating billions of dollars annually.(CRS Report to US Congress 2002).<\/p>\n<p>There are at least 5000 women who leave the Philippines as mail order brides and undocumented overseas workers, many of whom end up in brothels in different parts of the world. The problem with these statistics is that these are only the reported cases which don\u2019t include many trafficked women who leave the country as tourists. Just to clarify, GabNet is not against interracial marriages.  Our problem with the mail order bride is the practice that men pick women out of a catalogue (print or internet) and pay a subscription fee. These MOB agencies take advantage by recruiting women from the rural areas &amp; poor communities &#8211; women who think their only hope to escape poverty is to marry someone from a foreign land.<\/p>\n<p>Gabnet helps in exposing and opposing this form of migration by education, organizing, and advocacy.  We don\u2019t have direct services but we have network for referrals for women who come to us for assistance. Our actions had been a factor in the closure of sex tour agencies here in LA and New York.  We have sat in city committees for women and children and advocated changes in law regarding violence against women.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">What is the influence of being a Varron to you as being a member of GabNet?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/upvarrons.org\/Images\/Agnes_Varrons2.jpg?resize=400%2C204&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"From the Varrons' archives: Agnes (second row left) with Varrons on the way to final initiation rites for the FQS '78 batch\" width=\"400\" height=\"204\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">From the Varrons' archives: Agnes (second row left) with Varrons on the way to the final initiation rites for the FQS '78 batch<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It was being a Varron that taught me TLJF, to be socially conscious and to be politically correct.
