About Me

I spent my gradeschool at Dadiangas West Central Elementary School (graduated in 1990) in General Santos, then went to Mindanao State University for high school (graduated in 1994) still in General Santos and finally, University of Bohol for college where I got my bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy in March 2001 located in Tagbilaran City, Bohol.

By the President of the Phillipines - Executive Order No. 609

Executive Order # 609 of the Philippine Government to provide "assistance" to those June 2006 Nursing Board Exam passers who would like to retake the "compromised" section of the exam to clear the cloud of doubt over their exam results.

This was brought about by the February 14, 2007 Memorandum issued by the CGFNS that they will not issue VisaScreen certificates for those June 2006 board passers who will not retake the "compromised" section of the exam, which will prevent them from securing jobs in the United States.
