was the school located in a municipality in albay? there was a nursing/paramedic school there that was closed in 1997-98.
here's some info that might also help.
the CGFNS website has included this in the FAQ pages for visascreen/credentials evaluation service/certification program service:
"What do I do if my educational institution has closed?
ICHP only accepts certain documentation from source agencies (such as transcripts and validations of registration/ licensure). If your school has closed or no longer operates, you will need to contact the organization or agency authorized to hold documentation for that institution (such as a ministry of health or the national, provincial or state licensing authority in your country of education). If you are uncertain about where to go, call the ICHP Customer Service Department."

for CGFNS credentials verification service for new york:
"My school is closed, can I submit the required documents?
No. CGFNS will obtain the documents from school archives or the license authority. If documents are still unattainable, CGFNS will notify the New York State Education Department in Albany, NY and let them make the determination. CGFNS will never accept documents from an applicant as verifiable."

The application handbook/form also mention that if your school is closed, please contact the Ministry of Education and have them send CGFNS/ICHP a letter advising CGFNS/ICHP of that closing. check the forms/handbook. (take note: the letter/certification must be sent from CHED directly to CGFNS and not thru you or anyone else. so you need to inform CHED about this).
For employers, you need to inform them about your school's closure and show them a (1) certification from CHED about the said closure plus (2) a CHED certified copy of your school records and diploma. Always be ready to have a copy of said CHED certification attached to your resume/c.v. or to any application form/letter involving school records.
For the BON, i guess you also have to ask CHED to send certified copy of the records/diploma directly to the BON if so required by the rules of the BON (or maybe you can try to ask PRC records section).
though i got all my credentials from CHED for my local exam requirements, I'm still worried bec. this is already outside the country's transaction, What do i need to do before applying for foreign exams?
