My name is Darren Smith, an American college professor based in Florida USA. As a college educator for the last ten years, I have followed nursing education in the Philippines very closely. Of foreign nurses, 40% are from the Philippines.
I would like to share the case of nursing students attending Dipolog Medical College in Dipolog City who are being prevented from taking nursing licensure exam in June 2007.
This particular school has a passing rate below 30% in the nursing board exam, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of nursing schools in Philippines. For schools with more than 30 students, DMC is 12th from the bottom, with a passing rate of 25% last December and 28% last June. From 2000 to 2004 DMCCFI had a passing rate below 40% - a long history of poor performance.

Dipolog Medical College Sues Former Student For Exposing the Truth.
Mr. Alberto T. Concha, Jr whose family owns Dipolog Medical College has filed a claim against Jennilyn Nesnia for P650T. This is the student who exposed Concha's policy of preventing students from registering and taking their nursing board by delaying and holding their TOR and refusing to provide required documentation so that students could register with PRC. As what has happened with Ms Nesnia's case.
It all started last April 2007 when Ms Nesnia requested her records to be able to take the nursing board in June 2007. The school was unwilling to let Ms Nesnia take the nursing board because she did not pass a DMC pre board exam. They gave this exam seemingly because of their continuous record of poor performance on the Nursing Board passing rate. Only those who passed the DMC test were allowed to take the PRC Nursing Board exam. In addition, the school required those who wanted to take the exam to pay approximately P70T for a review course and other incidentals. If the family did not have the money, a Concha business was able to give the student a loan. Unbelieveable!
The tactic worked. A majority of the students who paid the P70T payola passed the Board exam. The school's passing rate improved ONLY for the limited number who had the money. Overall, DMC's passing rate was still 28% even though they tried to fool the residents of Dipolog with banners that their passing rate was 66%.
Mr. Alberto T. Concha, Jr made a threat against Ms Nesnia and uttered it to her father: “AKONG GUB-ON AND KAUGMAON NI JENNILY” (I’M GOING TO DESTROY THE FUTURE OF JENNILYN). Mr. Concha is the Dipolog Medical College's Academic Vice President. Atty Concha is now so immoral that he has filed a claim for damages against Ms Nesnia in the amount of P650T. Ms Nesnia is one of 8 children. Her mother is umployed and her father is a carpenter. Jennilyn Nesnia is the only hope of this family and of all filipinos trying to raise their status in life. I guess Mr Concha is so depraved he is willing to sue the family without a peso for their last centavo.
It wasn't the first time Mr. Concha threatened Ms Nesnia. In April 2007, he put a hold on Ms Nesnia's school records and said she would have to file a case to get the records released. After pleas to board members of CHED and PRC, Senators, the President of the Philippine Nurses Association, Concha allowed the release of Ms Nesnia's TOR but blocked other critical documents required to register with PRC. As a result, Ms Nesnia was not successful in registering for the June 2007 Nursing Board exams. DMC continued to block those critical records until the Davao Office of the Ombudsman intervened. Mr. Concha then decided to use the legal system as a weapon to sue the former student who exposed the school's corrupt and immoral practices. This is clearly conduct unbecoming a member of the Philippine Bar.
This case is a disgrace against Philippine Nursing education, the Philippine Bar & legal profession, and the PRC and CHED. Here's the case of Dipolog Medical College blocking students from taking professional exams by holding their records, threatening them, then using the legal system against them if they speak out. If it can happen in Dipolog, it can happen everywhere. Filipinos deserve better.
This would have never happened if CHED had fulfilled their promise to close substandard nursing schools such as Dipolog Medical College who has not had a pass rate of more than 28% in this decade. Its time to take action against such schools who lure students with dreams of a better life and deliver a barely passing education. Eventually, this will stain the reputation of nursing professionals from Philippines.
Where were you President Arroyo when Ms Nesnia first came to your office for help? Senators, where were you when Ms Nesnia wrote to you asking for help? PRC and CHED, where were you when Ms Nesnia needed help.
Its another Nursing Scandal. Shame on you Mr Concha.

I am from dapitan a few minute ride from dipolog and i knew this school is soo corrupt and run by Concha family..
I think her story is true because lot of there students now was transfered to jose rizal memorial statr university in dapitan and dipolog annex.. Now there r only few student enrolled in dipolog medical college, because they are not that competitive school, but in fairness they have a good false advertisement.... What a shame!
