Manila, May 19, 2014 -- The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Professional Regulatory Board of Nursing announces the cancellation of Tacloban City as testing center for the May 25 to 26, 2014 Board Licensure Examination for Nurses (BLEN).

PRC Tacloban Regional Office initially requested for the cancellation and has manifested its inability to hold the May 2014 BLEN for lack of office facilities and equipment due to the aftermath of the storm surge caused by Typhoon Yolanda last year.

Examinees who have applied in Tacloban City are advised to coordinate with PRC Tacloban Regional Office for the necessary arrangements to be undertaken to effect the orderly transfer of their assigned testing center.

The May 2014 BLEN will be held simultaneously in Manila, all PRC Regional Offices (excluding Tacloban City), Zamboanga, Angeles, Cabanatuan, Dagupan, Laoag and Bacolod.
