WOMEN'S GROUP GABRIELA NETWORK RALLY TO CONDEMN CUSTODY TRANSFER OF U.S. MARINE RAPE SUSPECTS; DEMAND U.S. GOVT. TO BACK OFF PHILIPPINE AFFAIRS, FULL WITHDRAWAL OF U.S.MILITARY FROM THE PHILIPPINES WHAT: Indignation Rally condemning custody transfer of US marine rape suspects, demanding US government to back off Philippine affairs and full withdrawal of US military form the Philippines. WHEN: Monday, 14 November 2005, 5pm WHERE: in front of Philippine Consulate, 3600 Wilshire Blvd. (corner Kingsley), Los Angeles, CA Simultaneous actions in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York/New Jersey, Portland, Pullman/Washington State Univ., San Diego, San Francisco/Bay Area, Seattle, and Washington, DC. WHO: Organized by GABRIELA Network USA, a Philippine-US women's solidarity organization, established 1989. PHOTO AND INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES. STATEMENT: The transfer of the six US marines suspected of raping a 22-year old Filipina from the Philippines to Okinawa is a glaring example of the more than century-long inequitable, colonial relationship between the US and the Philippines. It is a glaring example of the constant violence and violation of a nation's sovereignty perpetrated by the US military and US intervention in the Philippines. It is a glaring example of the US government pulling the strings on Philippine affairs and Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. It is a glaring example of Macapagal Arroyo kowtowing to US interests, mocking the Filipino people's fight to bring to justice all those who have wronged them. As US and Philippine government officials continuously invoke the provisions under the US-Philippine Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) to justify this custody transfer and the interference of the US on the issue of jurisdiction, they themselves are proving VFA's inadequacies, one-sidedness, outright violation of the Philippine constitution, and the subjugation of countries like the Philippines through US military, political and economic might. "They themselves are putting into action the very reasons why the VFA must be scrapped," GABNet Secretary General Dorotea Mendoza said. " They themselves are proving Bush and Macapagal Arroyo's inadequacies as presidents, their disingenuous oath to serve the people of their respective nations."

RELIEF: A Benefit for APIA Survivors of Hurricane Katrina Presented by CLAPS Productions, a collective of artists and organizers that use creative arts to stand up for social and political issues that affect the Asian Pacific Islander American community. CLAPS, Culture, Love, Art, Politics, and Soul, both literally and figuratively. Join us in this historical concert and silent auction to raise money for the APIA community in the Gulf Coast. Asian Pacific Islander Americans comprise the 2nd largest ethnic group in Louisiana. Filipino "Manilamen" were some of the first Asian settlers to establish a community in the "New World," having arrived here on the Spanish Galleon trade during the 1700s. Nearly half of the Asian Americans in Louisiana are Vietnamese and play a significant role in the local fishing trades. South Asians, including Sikh and Bangladeshi Americans, also comprise one of the largest Asian communities in the region, and can even boast having a U.S. congressman, Congressman Bobby Jindal, representing them on the national level. Despite such significant representation in the Gulf Coast, APIAs have been largely overlooked by aid organizations and relief efforts. RELIEF seeks to call attention to this community and to raise funds for aid organizations that are specifically providing assistance to the APIA community in the affected regions. Thursday, November 10th, 2005, 5:00pm to 10:30pm Search to Involve Pilipino Americans (SIPA) Temple Gateway Youth & Community Center 3200 W. Temple St. Los Angeles, CA 90026 There is parking in the residential areas. Donations will be taken at the door, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. All proceeds will be given to benefit organizations providing direct services to APIAs in the devastated Gulf Coast region. More information on these organizations will be provided at the event. RELIEF will feature 1896, Alison De La Cruz & D Lo, Alfie Ebojo (Balgatasan Collective), Bambu (Native Guns), Ethnic Descent, For Elise, Jenni Trang Le, John Eric Concordia, Karmacy Meymuna Bekela...and many of Los Angeles' diverse and renowned Asian American performers, poets, and musicians. volunteering for "RELIEF" We would also like to invite you to join us in calling attention to the APIA community by volunteering for this event. We are seeking assistance in the following areas: - Set-up/Clean-up - Entrance/Donation Table - Concessions - Silent Auction - Ushers / Crowd Control - Stage/Sound Free food and beverages will be provided for all volunteers.

7th Annual Kababayan Conference Politics through Education Dissecting the Hyphen : the role of Pilipino-Americans in Higher Education. Conference CONTACT: Kababayan Conference Ernest Tamayo, Conference Coordinator (213) 503-049 e-mail: emtamayo@uci.edu http://spirit.dos.uci.edu/kababayan/ Students and Community Members           This year at the 7th Annual Kababayan Conference, we will focus on the differing aspects of the Filipino community in the U.S. and all around the world and how all these aspects contribute to the political natures that encompasses our community. This conference will try to open the eyes all of all people specific those Filipinos who are unaware of the issues that affect them in the U.S., the Philippines and all around the world. By "dissecting the hyphen" of such labels such as Filipino-American, Filipino-Canadian or even Filipino-Saudi Arabian, the conference with the workshops and the speakers will expose how many issues of language, education, art and politics affect Filipinos no matter where their literal home is.          The key to this conference is to make institutions of higher education realize that the Filipino community within their walls paying for their education have the right and need to be learning about their history in order to more efficiently deal with the trials and tribulations that effect their community today. Language is one of the most important elements in terms of the survival of a culture, and for institutions of higher education not to off certain for languages such as Tagalog when there is a large growing number Filipinos in the U.S., shows how the needs of the Filipino community are still not being met or adequately represented by our school, city and national officials. The conference will highlight issues of how education is detrimental to the political advancement of the Filipino People. To understand women and queer studies in a Filipino lens is the only way find out solutions of how to bridge gendered gaps and misunderstanding of sexuality. To understand the Filipino role in the media is key in terms of understanding our role in society. Are Filipinos to be forever seen as dancers and sexual objects in the media or does our community have a further horizons we have yet to see? To understand the connection of the political activity in the U.S. and in the Philippines and what issues effect Filipinos directly is the only way the people of the world and Filipinos specifically are going to be able to combat them. Issues such as the exploitation of Filipino veterans and female overseas workers must be talked about and discusses in all areas, not only in this conference but in schools of higher education.        We invite you to come and hear about these topics. You will be able to bring more awarenss to yourself as students and see the different avenues of getting involved.  We at Kababayan at UCI hope you can come and begin your journey and to continue the struggle for our people all over the world. Maraming Salamat. Mabuhay! What: Politics through Education Dissecting the Hyphen : the role of Pilipino-Americans in Higher Education.
