Joe Mari Flores passed the July 2010 Nursing Board Exam and made it to the Top 8. He spent his elementary years in Araneta Learning Center, then studied at San Remigio National High School for his secondary education. He earned his Bachelor's Degree in Nursing at Cebu Normal University.
For some, their first priority is to work in Cebu, like 8th placer Joe Mari Abella Flores and 10th placer Razel Mae Nacua Libot of CNU who said said they wanted to serve their fellow Filipinos.
“Maybe I would start as volunteer to get experience but eventually I will go abroad. While I want to work here, our labor is not well compensated”, said Flores, 20, of Bogo City.
He said even if a nurse applies as a volunteer in the hospital, one needs a “backer” to be accepted and the compensation is not enough for the work. - Cebu Daily News

July 22, 2010 - Two unidentified men on board a motorcycle shot three members of the City of Bogo Anti-Crime Task Force (CBACTAF). Alexander Pedrano Suson, 22, a resident of Barangay Binabag, Bogo City, Norben Montillano Alburo, 22, living in Barangay San Vicente, Bogo City, and Daniel Chiao Nailon, 21, of Barangay Bungtod, Bogo City were shot while on duty at P. Rodriguez Street. According to the authorities the incedent happened around 11 pm. Suson unfortunately died after being shot in his forehead and right arm. The other two members also sustained some shots and were brought to the hospital. 26 pieces of empty shells of 9 mm machine pistol were recovered from the crime scene.
This incident brought fear to many citizens of Bogo and perhaps more fear to members of the CBACTAF. What could be the reason behind this killing? Could this be POLITICAL? Drug-related? Or whatever reason?
