June 2008 Nursing Board Exam Topnotchers from Cebu Schools
The June 2008 Philippine Nursing Board Exam Results was already released late last night. 27,765 examinees or 43.07% out of the 65,459 who took the exam last June 1 and 2 passed. The exams were held in the cities of Manila, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Legazpi, Lucena, Tacloban, Tuguegarao and Zamboanga.
I first learned of the results last night from examinees who congratulated each other at Velez College, Cebu while accompanying my wife, an alumna of that school, who attended the wake of the school’s longest-serving nursing dean.
More than 100 examinees made it to the top 10. Topnotchers from Cebu schools are as follows:
Top 4
• Dalfon Silvio Babular Navaja, Cebu Institute of Technology — 85.40%
Top 6
• Regina Krys Villaflor Cabanilla, Cebu Normal University (Cebu State College) — 85.00%

I am happy to those who made it. However, I am even more happy to hear from the Top 1 (I saw her last night from a tv news, but did not got her name) that she is willing to serve her country instead of working abroad. I wish she can withstand the pain and pressure.
We need a lot of them these days so I hope our government can do something about them.
Thanks.
