BACOLOD CITY — The Negrense nursing board passers plan to continue with activities to urge President Macapagal-Arroyo to recall permanently her retake order.
The board passers said they were staging a prayer rally Friday night for the President to permanently recall her retake order and allow them to get their nursing licenses.
The president had earlier announced that she would order a retake of tests 3 and 5 of the examination. On Wednesday, however, Malacañang withheld the release of an expected executive order on the matter.
Jet Ong said he and his fellow nursing board passers, their parents, deans of nursing colleges and those who support their lobby against a retake at the prayer rally were praying for the enlightenment and guidance of those tasked with deciding on the retake.
Rodrigo Tinsay, a parent, said their call is for the President to permanently abandon the order for a retake and allow the board passers to get licenses as nurses so they can get on with their lives.
The move seeking permanent recall of the retake order also gained the support of the Negros Occidental provincial board and Bacolod City Sanggunian.
Both have passed resolutions asking the president not to order a retake of all the June nursing board passers.
Bacolod Bishop Vicente Navarra, Negros Occidental Gov. Joseph Marañon and Bacolod Mayor Evelio Leonardia have also aired their opposition to the retake, especially for the passers from Bacolod and Negros Occidental.
On Thursday, Bacolod Rep. Monico Puentevella said the President listened to the position of those opposed to a retake of the nursing board examination, including those of Negrense passers and officials, at a luncheon meeting in Malacañang.
Puentevella and Board of Nursing chairperson Eufemia Octaviano, who were at the meeting, called on the those opposing the retake to make their voices heard by sending position papers to the President, Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita and Labor Secretary Arturo Bion, who has been tasked with making a recommendation on the controversy.
The Bacolod solon said he would gather the signatures of all the solons opposed to the move to present to the president.
