Philippines Criminal Authorities Raid Test Preparation Center Accused of Using Recalled NPTE Test Items

Philippines Criminal Authorities Raid Test Preparation Center Accused of Using Recalled NPTE Test Items

On Friday, January 26, 2007, agents of the Philippines National Bureau of Investigation, Intellectual Property Rights Division (“NBI-IPRD”) raided two locations of the St. Louis Review Center (“SLRC”) in Manila. The raids were conducted following a complaint made by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (“FSBPT”) that SLRC was believed to be using copyrighted test items from the National Physical Therapy Exam (“NPTE”) in its NPTE preparation courses.

Prior to the raids, agents of the NBI-IPRD conducted a criminal surveillance operation of the test centers, which confirmed the unlawful use of the test items. Specifically, SLRC was found to be providing its students with copies of actual NPTE test items that candidates who had previously taken the exam recalled by memory. Armed with this information, the NBI-IPRD applied for and obtained search warrants from the Philippines Regional Trial Court authorizing the seizure of items used or intended to be used in furtherance of criminal violations of Philippines copyright laws by SLRC and its owners, instructors and other representatives. The raids occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m. local time, and the NBI-IPRD agents seized various examination preparation materials, enrollment forms and other documents, as well as a computer and numerous computer files.

“We are very pleased that the Filipino authorities have taken this next step in the criminal prosecution of SLRC and the individuals associated with SLRC,” stated E. Dargan Ervin, Jr., FSBPT President. “The FSBPT is committed to protecting its copyrighted test items and preserving the integrity of the NPTE, and we will be cooperating fully with the criminal authorities as this prosecution goes forward. However, we want to reassure those preparing to take the NPTE that this action will not affect any current testing operations. The NPTE will continue to be given at all testing facilities in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.”

Students' freedom of choice on review center

Medical Tourism

1/17/07 - SPECIAL FEATURE: MEDICAL TOURISM
Business World (Philippines) via NewsEdge Corporation :

Since the Philippine medical tourism campaign was launched, the question uppermost on the Filipino's mind is not whether the health care industry has successfully hitched itself onto this runaway bandwagon, but rather if it has a firm enough grip to keep on riding.

Skilled workers desert Philippines

Skilled workers desert Philippines
By Nick Higham BBC News

Michael Duque is a nurse in the accident and emergency department at a London hospital. Six years ago he left his home in the Philippines to seek his fortune abroad.

As a nurse in Britain he earns about £24,000 (US $47,000) a year; doing a similar job in one of the top hospitals in Manila, the Philippines capital, he would be earning just £1,800 ($3,500).
He is one of some eight million Filipinos living and working overseas.

The money they send back in "remittances" - about $15bn in 2006 - is vital to the Philippines economy.

But there's a substantial cost involved as well, for Philippine society and for the individuals involved.

The personal cost lies in long-distance family separation, something familiar to generations of Filipinos.

Every month Michael sends up to £600 home to his family: wife Glenda, daughter Ella, aged 7, and son CG, aged 4. They live well on it, in a house in Manila's suburbs.

Glenda, who trained as a nurse herself, is now a full-time mother. And Michael, like many exiled Filipinos, is paying not only to support his family but to educate the next generation of overseas workers: Ella goes to a local private school.

But Michael has worked abroad ever since his daughter was born, originally in the Gulf and for the past four years in the UK.

He keeps in touch by phone and e-mail and via the videophone on the computer and he gets home perhaps once a year to see the children.

But he misses his kids growing up and he misses being a father to them, he said.

His absence puts a strain on his relationship with his wife as well: "It makes her crazy and stressed; she gets jealous," he said.
