The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) has released the results of the Electronics Engineers Licensure Examination held this April 2024, showcasing the success of 1,330 out of 3,130 examinees. This significant accomplishment marks a milestone for aspiring electronics engineers across various regions in the Philippines.
Conducted by the Board of Electronics Engineering in multiple locations including N.C.R., Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Legazpi, Lucena, Pampanga, Rosales, and Tuguegarao, the examination evaluated the competence and proficiency of candidates in the field. The rigorous assessment covered a comprehensive range of topics essential to the electronics engineering profession.
Leading the examination process were distinguished members of the Board of Electronics Engineering, namely Engr. Alnar L. Detalla, serving as Chairman, alongside Engr. Enrico Claro R. Delmoro and Engr. Herminio J. Orbe, who contributed as Members. Their dedication to maintaining the standards of the profession ensured a fair and rigorous examination process.
For successful examinees, the next step towards professional recognition begins with the registration for the issuance of a Professional Identification Card (ID) and Certificate of Registration. Starting May 20, 2024, the registration process will be facilitated online, streamlining the administrative procedures for candidates.
Aspiring professionals are advised to visit www.prc.gov.ph and carefully follow the provided instructions for initial registration. The required documents include a downloaded duly accomplished Oath Form or Panunumpa ng Propesyonal, the notice of admission (for identification purposes only), two passport-sized photographs with a white background and complete name tag, two sets of documentary stamps, and one short brown envelope.
It is imperative that successful examinees personally attend the registration process and affix their signatures in the Roster of Registered Professionals, affirming their commitment to upholding the standards and ethics of the electronics engineering profession.
The successful outcome of the Electronics Engineers Licensure Examination reflects the dedication, hard work, and academic excellence of the candidates, as well as the unwavering commitment of the PRC and the Board of Electronics Engineering to uphold the integrity of the licensure process. These newly licensed professionals are poised to make significant contributions to the field of electronics engineering, driving innovation, and progress in the Philippines and beyond.
