[Summary] =>
Most Filipinos look at education as their passport to greener pastures and better life. Parents work themselves to the bones or even sell their properties just to financially support the college education of their children. They usually choose courses that lead to well paying jobs both here and abroad. Hence in the past years, more students take up courses that are in demand.

[Title] => A big slap in the face
[Summary] =>
The Philippine delegation that went to the United States to try and plead with the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools to reconsider its ban of Filipino nurses who took the tainted June 2006 board exams got what it deserved, a big slap on the face.
Even before the delegation left the Philippines, the CGFNS already warned everybody who cared to read its lips that its decision was final. But the team left anyway, against the advice of many well-meaning Filipinos, on its Quixotic mission.

[Title] => US nursing body rejects RP appeal
[Summary] => A US nursing commission has flatly rejected the appeal of a high-level task force from the Philippines to reconsider its decision requiring passers of the cheating-tainted June 2006 licensure examination to retake and pass the test before they can be issued Visa Screen certificates to allow them to work in the United States.

[Summary] =>
Lumipad na kahapon patungong Estados Unidos ang Task Force CGFNS para personal na kumbinsihin ito na payagan nang mabigyan ng "visa screen certificates" ang may 17,000 nurses na pumasa sa kontrobersiyal na 2006 Nursing Board Exam.
Bagaman inamin ng grupo na mission impossible ang kanilang lakad, hihikayatin ng TF CGFNS ang Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools na huwag nang gawing kondisyon sa pag-isyu ng visa screen certificate ang pag-ulit o re-take ng Tests 3 at 5. (Rose Tesoro/Danilo Garcia)

[Title] => The audacity of hope
[Summary] =>
Hope has been getting a bad name in this country lately. For starters, ask Kris Aquino. She’d say, the audacity (shamelessness) of Hope! Now, our politicians are offering hope to our nurses who are suffering the consequences of the flawed nursing licensure examinations last year. That’s the audacity (shamelessness) of politicians exploiting hope.
