BAGUIO CITY – A criminal case of obstruction of justice was recently filed by professional nurses in this city against Philippine Nursing Association President Dr. Cordero for his alleged efforts to cover up the investigation on the June 11 -1 2 nursing board leakage.
Cordero allegedly urged complainants of the leakage to go slow about it and even dangled positions for some leaders of the complainants.
The case was filed on July 25 at the City prosecutor’s office by Dr. Mary Grace Lacanaria and Dr. Ludivina Ramos, with lawyer Cheryll Daytec-Yangot, who also assisted the complainants in the case they filed with the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
Lacanaria is the dean of the college of nursing of SLU and regional president of the Associations of Deans of the Philippine Nursing Colleges (ADPCN) while Ramos is a local PNA member and SLU faculty member.
Nordis learned that Cordero called Lacanaria, Dean Ruth Thelma Tingda, and local officers of the PNA to go slow after they filed the complaint to the PRC.
In these conversations, Cordero allegedly offered positions in his nursing school in exchange of their silence on the leakage issue.
Cordero allegedly traveled with two members of the Board of Nursing to Switzerland prior to the exam. He reportedly met with 22 deans in Metro Manila and shared some of the leakage with them, a reliable source told Northern Dispatch.
Cordero met with the PNA Cordillera and Baguio City chapters on July 29 in this city but walked out of the meeting when a newly-passed nurse expressed disappointment with the PNA national leadership because they were involved in the scam.
Cordero reportedly has a son named Clarence Nathan who also took the exam. His name however was neither in the lists of passers and flunkers, a reliable source shared to Northern Dispatch. Northern Dispatch tried to reach PRC to verify the status of the exam of the younger Cordero but to no avail. Northern Dispatch/Posted by Bulatlat

No choice si Cordero.. kelangang ibagsak niya yung dalawang anak niya para lusot siya sa charges.
Pero as stated in the news, wala sa list of passers and flunkers ang names ng dalawang anak niya. Kasi nga nagbabakasakali pa siyang mailusot ito. Pero kung hindi talaga, pasensya muna mga anak at delikado si Papa. Damay siya e.
Take note: Yung Test V, Gapuz-related. Yung Test III, kanino kaya?
