WNC denies dean was part of leak

An official of the West Negros College yesterday denied allegations that the nursing dean or any of WNC's representatives was present when 1,000 students attended a coaching session at a Manila moviehouse where leaked questions and answers for the June nursing board examinations were flashed on the screen.
Elmer Bolivar, WNC Alumni and Information Office director, said WNC nursing dean Zenaida Hilado was in Bacolod when the alleged leak was shown in a moviehouse in Manila on June 8 and 9.
Hilado was in Bacolod, and on June 8 she was even preparing flowers for the birthday of WNC president Suzette Agustin, which she attended on June 9, Bolivar said. Hilado went to Manila on June 11 to bring WNC's answers to the claims of the Professional Regulation Commission that its nursing students had deficiencies, he said.
The PRC did not allow 60 WNC nursing graduates to take the board examinations given on June 11 and 12, Bolivar pointed out.
He also said that very few WNC graduates reviewed with the Institute for Review and Special Studies , which was cited in the leak probe, and only one of them passed.
A report from ABS-CBN Manila said 22 deans of various universities and colleges are now being investigated for the leakage in the June nursing board examination.
The PRC also reportedly said that those present at the briefing of nursing students at a Manila moviehouse were representatives of the Iloilo Doctor's Hospital, Lorma College in La Union, University of Northern Philippines in Vigan, Arellano University in Manila, West Negros College in Bacolod, Bataan Polytechnic College, Central Luzon Doctor's Hospital in Tarlac and the Philippine College of Health and Sciences in Manila.
Meanwhile, PRC Regional Director Lily Ann Baldago said WNC June board passers from Negros Occidental will take their oaths at L Fisher Hotel in Bacolod 8 a.m. today.*CPG
