These nursing students and motorcycles parked at the campus of Adamson University gives emphasis to the changes occurring in Manila. If one finds a statistical regression between the growth of registered nurses and increase in the number of motorcycles, serious students of statistics will caution not to conclude that a correlation exists.
Rising gasoline prices, difficulty of parking cars, heavy traffic and easy-term payments offered by motorcycle dealers has made motorcycles an economical alternative to commuting. The world health organization has considered deaths and injuries from motorcycle accidents a public health epidemic. WHO adviser Hisashi Ogawa says it would help if motorcycles and bicycles would be provided separate lanes, instead of motorcyclists fighting for space with cars, trucks, and buses, exposing them to danger.
On the other hand, the world wide nursing shortage has created a demand for nursing schools in the Philippines as the country enjoys a good reputation of providing medical workers to the first world. Nestor Punay, M.D.. says “Because of the widely publicized high demand for nurses, more students are now flocking to nursing schools. You can expect parents to start selling carabaos, lots and borrow money in order to send their kids through nursing school. For many, this move is a no-brainer. For some, this is make-or-bust move.”
