Vietnam Job SCAM

Image
Below is the true story of a foreigner who worked under NES EDUCATIONAL SOLUTION Joint Stock Company in Vietnam. Here's my story: I worked for almost 3 years as a teacher in Thailand until I decided to move to Vietnam on June 12, 2015. Upon arrival, I went straight to my teaching assignment located at a far-flung area of the country. However, I was later offered a job by NES EDU Company (www.nesedu.vn) that is based in Hanoi under a 6-month term contract. At that time, my visa was about to expire on September 3, 2015 (a week after I moved to the company) and NES EDU assured me that they have all the means and connections to extend it.

Many of about 96,000 exam takers last December 2010 nursing board exam are getting more anxious as the month of February comes to an end.  According to the Facebook account of one of the Board of Nursing (BON)  members, Marco Antonio Sto Tomas, he revealed that the Philippine Regulatory Commission (PRC) is targeting FEBRUARY 20, 2011 (Sunday) as the release date of the December 2010 Board Exam Results. Before that, he said to his fan page that they do not really know when the exact date of result will be because of the high volume of examiners. He also stated that even if they are using technology for checking, they still need to be careful. He also added that the examiners and other people who are waiting for the result must offer a prayer for them too. "Perhaps it will help if people like those awaiting results will offer prayers for us too! We also wish to finish and release the results because this is not the only job BoN is engaged in.. the 20th is a reasonable target

Angelo Reyes is dead

Former Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes died of a gunshot wound at the age of 66 years old. He  was the  Secretary of National Defense  of the  Philippines  from the year 2001 to 2003 and was the Secretary of the Department of Energy under former President  Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo .   He was accused as one of being the most corrupt chiefs into the Garcia plea bargain deal  which showed up in Public early this year  about receiving 50 Million Philippine Pesos as send-off money. Early morning of February 8, 2011, Angelo Reyes visited her mother's tomb in Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina City with his kids and aides.  He said to them to leave him at the tomb and then the shot was heard.  He was brought to Quirino Hospital at 7:30 a.m. with a wound in his chest and no vital signs. The doctor pronounced him dead after 45 minutes of resuscitation at 8:32 a.m. May he rest in peace and I still wonder why he did it?
