Despite Friday’s Court of Appeals ruling on the nursing exam fraud, the problem is not over.

[Summary] => As far as the retake of the nursing exams is concerned, it certainly looks like no deal so far. Notwithstanding hot air blowing among Malacanang, the Department of Labor and Employment, the Commission on Filipinos Overseas and the Professional Regulation Commission, it looks like all those who took the June 2006 licensure tests are going to have to cool their heels a little longer.

In the crafting of the story conflict, the good are rewarded, the bad punished. So poetic justice dictates…

The same principle theoretically holds sway in life. Laws are for maintenance and protection of whatever good, just, and reasonable to govern society's social engineering. It thus sounds awkward and unfair for the innocent to be punished and lumped together with the guilty.
