SU
nursing dean
backs exam retake
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The dean of the College of Nursing of Silliman University in Dumaguete City said she supports the proposal for those who took the nursing examinations in June to retake Tests 3 and 5 in the wake of the leakage scandal involving it.
Dr. Teresita Sinda's position parallels that of the Technical Committee on Nursing Education of the Commission on Higher Education for a retake. She said there was no reason why the candidates should not retake the two tests because the scandal has tarnished the image of the nursing education of the country.
Several candidates from Oriental Negros who took the
board examination and have been taking nursing courses to go abroad,
had not escaped the nursing board leakage.

Buglasan
Festival streetdance, At least 18 towns and cities in Oriental Negros are joining the Buglasan Festival of Festivals on Oct. 13-29. The event is under the auspices of the Oriental Negros Culture and Arts Council co-chaired by Gov. George Arnaiz and Board Member Mariant Villegas. The festival came into being in 1981 after a search for one that
will represent the province in the 1st Folk Arts Festival convened
by the then first lady Imelda Marcos. |

Tanjay
mayor vetoes The political bickering between the executive and legislative department of Tanjay, Oriental Negros, is taking its toll on several barangays. The Provincial Legal Office said Mayor Baltazar Salma vetoed a barangay ordinance that was declared valid by the city council. Barangay Palanas had passed an ordinance prohibiting Habal-habal operations in the national highway citing the danger that goes with it. But when the mayor vetoed the ordinance, habal-habal operations
from Palanas to Tanjay proper continued unabated, provincial legal
officer Erwin Vergara said. |
