READY TO SERVE. Around 1,600 newly registered nurses took their oaths of profession during a mass oathtaking and induction ceremony organized by the Professional Regulation Commission and other groups at the IEC Convention Center in Cebu City on Saturday, Jan. 28, 2023. With the country currently experiencing a lack of nurses due to the continuing emigration of medical professionals, many officials hope this new batch will stay to help the country’s already stretched out health care system. Many legislators, including Cebu City Rep. Eduardo “Edu” Rama Jr., have proposed measures in Congress to increase their salaries, especially for those working in private hospitals. / EARL PADRONIA
