In Cavite alone, there are more than 200 CON alumni who were reported to work on different healthcare facilities such as City of General Trias Doctors Medical Center, General Emilio Aguinaldo Memorial Hospital and Manuel V. Santiago Medical Center while others serve in as fire officers, police officers and soldiers.
