She had to be a daughter, a sister, and the primary breadwinner for her family throughout those years.
“Daghan man ko’g struggles as a woman working in healthcare industry. I had to struggle, especially when my father was diagnosed with cancer, which was hard kay siyempre [because of the ] financial constraint. Then after our father succumbed to cancer, amoang only brother [met] a motorcycle accident nga grabe gyod ang operation [needed]. But still I had to overcome all the obstacles through prayers, strong will, and determination,” Zapanta said.
“It’s during night time, especially dinner, nga magkatapok gyod mo as a family. The more ang bond nako with my family and with my husband, especially kon dinner time. And besides, I can say nga cooking is one of my passions in life,” she said.“If there’s a lesson I have learned from all this, I could say what a man can do, a woman can do as well. Kay naa may discrimination nga a woman is a weak person, she can’t do what a man can do.
Given her service and sacrifice for her family as well as her patients, she understands the importance of honoring the women who play such an integral part in our society. “We do need to celebrate Women’s Month, because it can’t be denied that women like myself are the backbone of the family, the institution, and even in the community as a whole. Women empowerment gyod maoy nagkadala og kuan sa atong family, sa society, sa healthcare institution.”
