ANGEL's party style is to HOST
Every successful party's got a smooth operator behind the scenes, and you certainly know how to put on a good show. You're a natural born leader - and you like to be in charge.

The dean lamented the fact that many of those who passed the tainted June exams were now taking their oaths."If and when the courts decide that the decision of the PRC to proceed with the oath-taking despite the unresolved issues is illegal, mas madugo yun [it would be bloodier]. Licenses will be revoked, mas malaki lang ang apoy [it will be a bigger fire]. Our position remains the same: defer all actions until the investigations are finished," Sto. Tomas said.

Looking back, UST is standing firm on their decision to have a retake after garnering a percent score of 83% this year which is the lowest rank they ever had. It was also nationwide news that UST's **laude failed in the said exam. This is a pain in the ass!
The scandal is not the student's fault. Everyone who took the NLE '06 is innocent until proven guilty.
They dont even have to remove test 5 to those innocent takers.
And now their telling everyone that NLE '06 takers shouldnt be hired because they lack competency.
That judgement is based on opinion alone.
The exams doesnt really measure the competency of the student in all level.
The questions suck! Most are subjective! So even if test 5 is removed, it is not the basis for competency!
The media coverage is often one sided. But i salute GMA news for taking two sides of the story! You know the impact of media... its so grand and devastating! They like to flash the bad news all the time!
People like to talk about the bad news. But they never really look deeper into the whole situation! Well what can i say people are just so dumb head if they believe everything they hear. sorry!

Yesterday and Today is "rush day" and the "big day" for nurses06 all over the country. Amidst the controversy, the PRC decided to continue with the oath taking ceremony in their own grounds.
EArly on. text messages were sent to all those who passed the nursing licensure exam. Yes, only to those who passed the June 2006 Nursing Licensure Exam. Yesterday, Cebu nurses took their oath without much say to the media people, then the rest followed like Davao, Manila and Zamboanga.
Flocks of nurses gathered in the PRC offices all over the country eagerly waiting to give their oath.They filled up the entire grounds of PRC the whole day since yesterday. It turned out to be a disaster! Most were pushing their way just to be first in line. There was too little air to breath. The entire place was crowded. People kept on pushing each other. Everyone was in a hurry to finish up processing their papers so they so they would be ready for whatever decision the senate has.
It was rumored that the senate was going to issue a temporary restraining order to cancel any oath taking movement. But there was already an order that there will be no oath taking from August 22 until they can decide again for their next move.
Before there was any order, nurses had their oath taken legally. The eager faces of all those who who took the oath shouted with joy, congratulating each other and giving each other a hug.
Everyone in there was happy and tired. At last, the oath day came even at the most unexpected moment.
However, some who didnt make it were really disappointed. It is unfair on their part that the temporary restraining order was issued before they were able to take their oath. In manila, many didnt make it in the oath taking. They were too late!
The temporary restraining order was issued before some were able to process their papers and take oath. However, those who were not able to take it in Cebu yesterday were still able to catch up in today's oath before the order was issued.
Good news to those who made it in the oath taking and bad news for those who didnt....

(UPDATE) MANY of the 17,000 nursing graduates who passed this year’s licensure examinations are having a hard time looking for jobs because of the failure of government to satisfactorily resolve the scandal triggered by the leak of the exam questions.
Marco Antonio Sto. Tomas, vice president of the Association of Deans of Philippine Colleges of Nursing, lashed out at the Professional Regulatory Commission for releasing the results of the June 11 to 12 licensure exams even before the leakage issue can be resolved.
“The 17,000 or so who passed are in a predicament. A lot of them nahihirapan mag-apply at kumuha ng trabaho (A lot of them are finding it hard to apply for an find jobs),” Sto. Tomas, who is also dean of the College of Nursing of the Saint Joseph's College in Cavite City, told a Senate hearing into the scandal Tuesday.
“The international community is now looking at how we are going to solve this problems because they (the reviewees) themselves are questioning the integrity of the exam,” Sto. Tomas added.
Teresita Barcelo of the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital (PGH), confirmed Sto. Tomas’ statement, saying several medical institutions, including St. Lukes's, PGH, and the National Center for Mental Health are not hiring anyone from this batch of nominees.
“Sa abroad hindi pa, pero baka susunod na (Abroad, they haven’t stopped hiring yet, but it could follow),” she said.
During last weekend's CGFNS (Commission for Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools) orientation here, Barcelo said the Americans repeatedly told the examinees, “You may fool Filipino examiners, but you cannot fool American examiners.”
Senator Richard Gordon noted that the health and safety of Filipino patients and the deployment of nurses abroad would be affected by the scandal.
“American hospitals, Japanese hospitals, European hospitals are watching us,” he said.
Gordon and Senator Rodolfo Biazon, head of the Senate committee on civil service and government reorganization, slammed the executive department for apparently preventing the official presence of the PRC, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and Commission on Higher Education (CHED) at the hearing.
Biazon noted that the letters sent by the three agencies explaining their refusal to appear before the inquiry appeared “to have been dictated” by one person as “even the location of (the) period” is the same.
Gordon lamented this, saying the executive department’s actions have been keeping the Senate from performing its duty. “We have a culture of cheating in this country. We have a tendency to want to beat the system, in the elections, in sports accreditations, and even in civil service exams,” he said.
Two members of the PRC Board of Nursing (BON) are facing administrative charges for the alleged leakage.
Despite the absence of PRC officials, PRC resolutions presented during the hearing identified the BON members as Anesia Dionisio and Virginia Madeja, who were both present at the hearing.
BON chair Eufremia Octaviano admitted that there was a leakage during the test.
The scandal stems from the complaint of examinee Rachel Cyndi-Erfe, who told the Senate that on both days of the exam, she saw other examinees wearing white jackets with R.A. Gapuz Review Center printed on the back reading photocopies of what she would later discover were leaked questions from the review center.
She has since been joined in her complaint by 91 other examinees and 425 intervenors.
Erfe’s lawyer, Cheryl Daytec-Yangot, said their own investigation showed that the leaked documents contained key words of the questions which came out in sets 3 and 5 of the licensure exam as well the answers.
She noted that the people who conducted the internal PRC fact-finding investigation and the subsequent NBI probe have not yet gotten in touch with the complainants.
Doctor Eleanor Artemia Gapuz, president and chief executive officer of the R.A. Gapuz Review Center, admitted that members of her staff reproduced the 18-page reviewer that Erfe saw a fellow examinee read prior to the actual test.
“We confirm that our staff with our students reproduced the manuscript after some of our students approached their drill master and asked permission to have them reproduced,” she said.
Senator Juan Flavier said he agreed with the proposal to have all the 42,000 examinees retake the licensure test.
