research include illegal use of PTCA funds, illegal
use of class funds, teachers and school
administrators getting commissions from suppliers
of school supplies or printing press of yearbooks
and school papers, non-remittance of teacher’s
benefits premium (SSS). We should also include
the recent scandal on the leakage in the Nursing
examinations and the 1 billion worth of insurance

punished with a failing grade in the course.
In addition the student will not be
