A REPLY TO A MIDLAND COURIER EDITORIAL

On July 26, 2009, the MIDLAND COURIER EDITORIAL, released a Column entitled PLAYING GOD.

Unfortunately the column stated facts which were merely one sided, imbalanced and untruthful. The side of SLU Hospital of the Sacred Heart was not heard, since the Editor did not investigate, verify or give the SLU Hospital the opportunity to explain its side of the story.

The Editorial stated that, “an order reportedly from the Hospital Administrator and an Assistant Chief Nurse was laid down not to admit the patient coming from BGH-referring to Magnolia.” This is absolutely not true. The hospital policy is to admit patients seeking admission to the SLU Hospital. In fact patient Magnolia Garcia was admitted and attended to immediately and promptly in the SLU Hospital Emergency Room and the proper treatment and care given despite the information earlier relayed to the Medical Staff of BGH that no mechanical ventilator was available.

The mechanical ventilator is obviously more advantageous than that of an Ambu bag, which the Editor of Midland Courier may not know. Mechanical ventilators provide a number of advantages over other types of ventilatory support. Mechanical ventilation is lightweight and compact which makes it convenient and very easy to use. Secondly, they are an improvement over the bag-valve device (Ambubag) in maintaining minute volume. The mechanical ventilation system is also able to endure extreme temperatures ranging from 30 degrees Fahrenheit to 125 degrees Fahrenheit. Another advantage of mechanical ventilation is that, it is typically equipped with both an adjustable ventilatory rate and tidal volume. This will allow the machine to function intermittently, reverting to controlled mechanical ventilation in patients who are not breathing.

The SLU Emergency Room Staff explained that since Pines City Doctors Hospital, a nearby hospital had an available Mechanical Ventilator ready for use, it was prudent and highly recommendable that it would be to the best interest of the patient that she be instead transferred to the said Hospital. Since the accompanying relatives consented to the recommendation, patient was transferred via the SLU-HSH ambulance accompanied by the Medical Staff to the Pines City Doctors Hospital where she was immediately attended to.

We reaffirm our commitment to provide the highest quality medical care and management for the people of the Cordilleras upholding its tradition of excellent medical services reflective of the Christian value of selfless sharing.
We hope this explanation puts close the issues in this case.

SLU CALLS FOR MANUSCRIPTS

The Northern Luzon Research Journal is accepting manuscripts for its third volume (2009), with the deadline of submissions set on 30 October 2009.

The NLR Journal is a peer-reviewed, interuniversity publication for applied researches and development studies. It aims to gather and feature articles that bear relevance to socio-cultural, political, economic, health, and environmental issues affecting the regions of Northern Luzon. It is distributed nationwide among journal-exchange partner HEIs as well as locally among LGUs, state line agencies, NGOs, and other sectoral organizations.

As an academic journal, it upholds a standard of scholarship through a double-blind referee system involving reviewers from various disciplines nationwide. But unlike most refereed journals at the national level, the NLR Journal limits itself to studies focusing on Northern Luzon and, in so doing, responds to the demand of local researchers, scholars, policy-makers, development workers, and other stakeholders for an accessible yet quality applied and development-oriented research publication.

For details, please click here to see attached “Notes to Contributors".

2009 Cabahug Medal for Academic Excellence Awards

A legacy that Justice Sotero B. Cabahug left to his beloved Mandauehanons is the conferment of the Cabahug Medal to the Mandauehanon who would graduate at the top of his class, with a rating of not less than 90 percent in the secondary, or special course from any school, institution, academy, college or unversity duly acknowledged by the government.

He offered to donate the gold medal through the Mandaue Council who formally accepted it and drafted rules to govern the selection. This was in 1923 and since then there have been 64 Cabahug medalists. There were years when there were no awardees and there was also a hiatus of 13 years after the 1994 awards.

Migrant Leader, Louisian

Ms. Flora Baniaga-Belinan
BA Social Work 1982

Igorot woman, mother, and migrant leader, Flora Baniaga-Belinan exemplifies Pinay power that is woven on the loom of the women’s struggle for empowerment, justice and equality.

Flora started as an organizer of the urban poor in Baguio City. Unemployed after graduation, she joined the Urban Poor Assistance Center upon the invitation of an activist uncle. Hence, the beginning of her social involvement.

Flora became very active in her engagements as a social worker. In the course of her organizing work, she immersed with the urban poor and was exposed to their gut issues as well as to the plight of other marginalized sectors. Eventually, she participated in various protest actions and other community activities. Then came her resolve to be part of the movement for social transformation at a time when the political and economic crisis in the country continued to worsen under the crumbling Marcos dictatorship.

Organizing changed many aspects of Flora’s life. In fact, it paved the way for her meeting with Paul Belinan, her husband of 25 years. Paul was also from Sagada but he only met Flora in Baguio. An advocate of workers’ rights, he has been working for the Cordillera Labor Center for quite a long time already.

Flora and her husband were committed to their social causes but it was hard for them to support the needs of their family from their limited income. Confronted with the urgent need to survive, Flora made the difficult decision of leaving her family to work as a domestic helper in Hong Kong for 12 years.

However, Flora unwaveringly pursued organizing work in Hong Kong. She founded and headed the Pinatud A Saleng Ti Umili (organization of domestic workers from Cordillera) even as she was still adjusting in the foreign land. She also served as an adviser to the Cordillera Alliance-Hong Kong.

Tirelessly, she gathered and organized fellow OFWs. They would maintain communication through the phone and meet at a common place every weekend. Amidst her preoccupation, she still found time to do volunteer work for a counseling institution for distressed OFWs.

Under the banner of Migrante International, Flora was at the forefront of various major advocacies and struggles for the rights and welfare of migrants, especially of women Filipino workers, in Hong Kong. Among these were the victorious campaigns between 1998 and 2003 to stop wage cuts and to scrap state exactions such as authentication fees. At present, together with Filipino migrant groups, she is vigorously campaigning for the scrapping of the new POEA Guidelines which seek to collect more fees and not to protect domestic workers.

Flora has always stood staunchly against violence perpetrated on women migrants including rape and other forms of sexual abuse, maltreatment, and trafficking. She is now taking the lead in the campaign for justice for OFW victims of violence and government criminal neglect.

While in Hong Kong, Flora also promoted indigenous peoples’ rights to land, life, and resources, firmly opposing policies and projects in the homefront that particularly cause the destruction of the environment and exploitation of women indigenous peoples and children.

In 2005, she returned home and founded the Migrante Chapter in Metro Baguio. Recently, she was elected deputy secretary-general for external affairs of GWP.

For her steadfast stance and commitment to promote and defend the rights and welfare of women migrant workers, she was nominated as one of the top three standard bearers of GWP, joining Mindanaoan educator Luz Ilagan and Rep. Liza Maza.
