R.A. No. 7836 known as the “Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994” States: “Every registrant shall be required to take his professional oath before practicing as a professional teacher” (Sec. 18).

According to the PRC, the requirements for the issuance of Certificate of Registration and Professional Identification Card (ID) are the following:

1. duly accomplished Oath Form or Panunumpa ng Propesyonal;
2. latest Community Tax Certificate (Cedula);
3. 1 piece 1” x 1” picture (colored with white background and complete name tag),

6. the Initial Registration Fee of P600 and Annual Registration Fee of P450 for 2010-2013. Successful examinees should personally register and sign in the Roster of Registered Professionals.

Section 7(m) of R.A. 8981, otherwise known as the PRC Modernization Act of 2000, states one function and responsibility of the Commission, to wit: “To monitor the performance of schools in licensure examinations and publish the results thereof in a newspaper of national circulation.”

The PRC noted that any discrepancy in the report on the examination results is not intentional on the part of the Commission, but rather due to miscoding of school codes by the examinees themselves. Concerned schools may write the Commission for correction.
