[Title] => Outcry vs PRC withholding of nurses’ exam results
[Summary] => One can get distracted. That’s what happened to me when the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) withheld the results of the exams of some West Negros College students who had taken the recent nursing board examinations.
Those who failed to receive their test results were mostly "second coursers," which means that they took up nursing despite the fact that most of them were already graduates of other courses and were already practicing physicians, engineers and teachers.

[Title] => Altering perceptions of the New Year
[Summary] => Sometimes, year-end developments can drastically alter people’s perception of the coming year. Two major events in Negros Occidental have changed people’s expectation of the new year.
The first was the outcry against the decision of the Sugar Regulatory Administration to cut down millgate prices of sugar. A unilateral decision by most sugar producers, the move has unleased such a furor in the province.
The second was the alleged hijacking of a 10-wheeler truck of Columbia Marketing in Hacienda Carmenchika, Pontevedra Thursday night.

[Title] => A truly merry Christmas in Negros
[Summary] => "Merry Christmas" transcended the traditional season’s greeting for most Negrenses as recent developments buoyed up people’s spirits, especially the rise in the price of domestic sugar at the mill site. In some instances, millgate prices rose to as high as P1,091 per Lkg. and even exceeded expectations.
This contradicted the usual trend of lower millgate prices before Christmas, according to Negros-Panay chapter’s chairman of the Confederation of Sugar Producers Association Luis Tongoy.

[Title] => NFA close to buying target volume
[Summary] => The National Food Authority (NFA) is now close to meeting its target of buying 1.4 M bags of sugar in 50 kilograms (Lkg) for this milling season.
In the last three months, the NFA has bought a cumulative total of 950,455 Lkg amounting to P658 million.
Aside from providing stability to the industry, NFA’s active sugar buying has saved the economy of some provinces, especially those heavily dependent on the sugar industry.

[Title] => Sugar industry gets back on its feet
[Summary] => In a scene resembling the agony and hunger in Africa, feeble chil-dren of migrant workers (sacadas) in remote sugar-growing towns of Negros have been photographed with having large protruding eyes and bloated stomach sitting help-lessly in front doors of their huts waiting for food.
It’s a pathetic picture of the early 1980s when, at the height of the sugar industry debacle, severe child malnutrition gripped the western Visayan island, traditio-nally known as the Philippines’ sugar bowl.
