Manila, November 11, 2013 – The Professional Regulation Commission announces the cancellation of Tacloban City as examination site for the November 16 and 17, 2013 Board Licensure Examination for Midwives and the December 7 and 8, 2013 Board Licensure Examination for Nurses.

Examinees who are supposed to take the said examinations in Tacloban City are advised to transfer to the nearest and most accessible PRC Testing Centers.

The PRC and the Professional Regulatory Boards of Midwifery and Nursing decided to cancel Tacloban City as testing center due to the damage brought by super typhoon Yolanda to the PRC Tacloban Regional Office as well as considerations over the safety and security of examinees and examination personnel.
