In view of the increasing demand of digitalization and automation of services in the public sector, particularly during this period of the pandemic, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), in partnership with Wide Wide World Express Corporation (W Express), its courier service provider, will be providing its clientele the option to have their renewed PRC Professional Identification Card (PRC ID Card) delivered to their homes.
The delivery service of the W Express will be available initially with the PRC ID Card renewal services requiring the online submission of the CPD undertaking. To avail the delivery service, the clients must transact the renewal of their PRC ID Cards through the PRC website, submit the online attestation for the CPD undertaking, and choose the option for shipping.
Once the client opted to avail of the delivery service, they will be required to make entry of their delivery details. The client, after that, will be redirected to the W Express website for the payment of the delivery fees. Due to the online payment feature of the W Express's delivery system that is integrated into the PRC's online renewal system, the delivery service will be limited to the PRC ID Card renewals with (CPD Undertaking) transacted starting June 8, 2020. However, the PRC assures the public that it will continue to enhance its operating system to accommodate those with previous appointments.
As part of the initial deployment, the delivery service will only be piloted within the Metro Manila areas. Once the pilot implementation of the delivery service becomes successful, the same will be made applicable for all PRC services, and eventually, be made available nationwide to cater to more clients.
With the Delivery Service that PRC is offering, clients within Metro Manila, and later, within other areas of the country, will no longer have to go to PRC Offices to claim their PRC ID Cards as it will be delivered to their homes or delivery addresses at their convenience.
These efforts of PRC in providing maximum convenience to its clientele while accommodating them with efficient and quality services support the national government’s thrust in promoting ease in government doing business processes. The PRC will continue to enhance its systems and improve its services for the benefit of its transacting clients amidst the current health crisis.

On August 8, 1967, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was established in Bangkok, Thailand, through the signing of the Bangkok Declaration. From the five original member states (Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand), the ASEAN has now grown into a ten-member state (Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore,Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam).
Since its establishment 53 years ago, ASEAN continues to demonstrate commitment in its integration journey, building a strong and united community in line with its principles and value of '"Think Community, Act Community.'"
To enhance cooperation and liberalize trade in services among the member countries, the ASEAN Member States (AMS) developed the ASEAN Framework Agreement on Services (AFAS), which was signed by the ASEAN Economic Ministers on December 15, 1995.And as a testament to the commitment to strengthen services trade integration, during the 7th Summit in November 2001, the AMS mandated the start of negotiations on Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) to facilitate the flow of professional services under AFAS. From that time, the AMS have concluded eight MRAs, namely, ASEAN MRA on Engineering Services (2005), ASEAN MRA on Nursing Services (2006), ASEAN MRA on Architectural Services (2007), ASEAN Framework Arrangement on Mutual Recognition of Surveying Qualification (2007), ASEAN MRA on Dental Practitioners (2009), ASEAN MRA on Medical Practitioners (2009), ASEAN MRA on Tourism Professionals (2012), and ASEAN MRA on Accountancy Services (2014).
In relation to the implementation of the MRAs, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Professional Regulatory Boards (PRBs), as the Professional Regulatory Authorities in the Philippines, actively participate in the negotiation and review of policies, proposals, and recommendations relative to the practice of the profession in the Region. The PRC and the PRBs also form part of the various ASEAN Coordinating committees such as the ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer Coordinating Committee, ASEAN Joint Coordinating Committee on Nursing, ASEAN Architect Council, ASEAN Joint Coordinating Committee on Dental Practitioners, ASEAN Joint Coordinating Committee on Medical Practitioners, and the ASEAN Chartered Professional Accountant Coordinating Committee.
Regarding the implementation of the MRAs, particularly in Engineering, Architecture, and Accountancy, Monitoring Committees were formed to develop and maintain a register, issue certificates of qualification and experience, and undertake steps to enhance the practice of profession further. As of July 31, 2020, the Philippines has 595 ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineers (ACPE), 73 ASEAN Chartered Professional Accountants (ASEAN CPA), and 130 ASEAN Architects (AA).
In celebration of the ASEAN Month and the ASEAN's 53rd Anniversary today, the PRC reaffirms its commitment to promote cooperation in the ASEAN Region. The PRC furtherexpresses its support to create a stable, prosperous, and highly competitive region for professionals, and in this regard encourages Philippine professionals to continue developing their qualifications to properly serve, and remain competitive in, the Region and beyond..
