QUEZON CITY (PIA) — In Tuesday’s Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas, to be held at the PIA Auditorium in Visayas Ave., Quezon City, the Professional Regulations Commission – National Capital Region (PRC-NCR) will take the spotlight, showcasing its transformative programs and services designed to enhance the experience of Filipino professionals.
Officer-in-Charge Regional Director Ronald G. Watson will lead the discussion, focusing on PRC-NCR’s strides in service innovation, professional development, and social responsibility. A key highlight will be the office’s achievement of ISO 9001:2015 certification, underscoring its dedication to quality management and service excellence.
Director Watson will delve into PRC-NCR’s major services, emphasizing initiatives that bring their services closer to the people. The #ClientReach program stands out as a proof to this commitment, with offsite service centers making transactions more accessible, mobile services addressing the needs of local and overseas professionals, and proactive measures to cater to a broader audience.
The conversation will also explore PRC-NCR’s efforts to modernize the licensure examination process. By utilizing non-traditional venues and introducing computer-based licensure exams, the commission is increasing efficiency and accessibility for aspiring professionals. The adoption of cashless payment systems for examination personnel honoraria further demonstrates PRC-NCR’s push for streamlined and transparent operations.
Another groundbreaking initiative is the shipping of Professional Identification Cards (IDs) within Metro Manila, reducing the need for professionals to visit PRC offices. Complementing this is the introduction of the Digital PRC ID, a secure and convenient alternative that aligns with the increasing demand for online solutions.
PRC-NCR is also addressing lifelong professional growth through its CPD Undertaking, ensuring smoother compliance with Continuing Professional Development requirements. Beyond its operational scope, the commission is committed to social responsibility, integrating community-centered initiatives into its agenda.
Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas is organized by the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) through the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) to bring timely, relevant, and accurate information about government programs and services to grassroots communities nationwide. (AVS / PIA-NCR)
