Manila, Philippines - Since the implementation of the Continuing
Professional Development in July 2017, no professional who applied for
the renewal of his/her professional ID has ever been denied by PRC due
to incomplete or lacking CPD units. The PRC exercises maximum
flexibility in the implementation of the CPD and has made available for
the professionals the Undertaking embedded in the Professional
Identification Card (PIC) renewal form, thereby allowing the
professional to complete and submit only the CPD units in the next
renewal period three years after his/her first renewal under CPD Law.
The PRC directed all CPD Councils of the 43 regulated professions
to review and if necessary, make amendments to their respective CPD
Operational Guidelines to address the clamor of the professionals. Some
CPD Councils have revised their respective operational guidelines to
further make CPD more accessible and affordable.
PRC appeals on all professionals who care about public safety and
welfare, those who wish to deliver the best services to their clients,
patients and students to stand up, adhere and support this effort of the
government in ensuring that our professionals are not left behind in
information, skills, knowledge for the good and well-being of our
countrymen.
