Golda Manto Yap, a 34-year-old Cebuana landed in the no. 1 slot in the 2009 Nurse Licensure Examination with an average score of 86.80 percent. A total of 32,617 out of 77,901 passed the Nurse Licensure Examination.

Born in Cebu, Yap was a consistent honor student in grade school and high school in La Salle in the Atlas Mining Development Corp. in Lutopan, Toledo City where her father worked. She started nursing studies in the University of the Philippines in Manila but stopped when she returned to Cebu and enrolled in another course, Business Administration at the University of San Carlos. She later shifted to Accountancy. She got married in the course of her studies.

Yap started her nursing course at the Science and Technology Institute (STI) in Lahug, Cebu City in 2005 before transferring to the Felipe Verallo Foundation in Bogo City in 2007.

She stayed with a relative of her husband in the next town of Tabogon to be closer to school. Fortunately, the Foundation offered “special classes” for working students. With this schedule, she attended classes on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Bogo City Mayor Celestino Martinez Jr. said the whole of Bogo will be brimming with pride.

“Dako kaayo ang atong kalipay nga taga Bogo ang top notcher,” said Martinez. (It’s a big source of joy that someone from Bogo is a topnother.)

Another feat of Bogo, another page in history...

5th Charter Day Celebration

Message from the City Mayor The City of Bogo celebrates its 5th year of cityhood. And yet, it seemed but only yesterdaythat we finally earned our right to be recognized as one.
