WHEREAS, under Book VI, Rules I, Section 3 of the 1991 POEA Rules and Regulations provides as one of the grounds for revocation of license:

D. "Incurring an accumulated three (3) counts of suspension by an agency based on final and executory orders within the validity period of its license."

WHEREAS, during a dialogue with the members of the recruitment industry, there has been a clamor to establish a balance between the 1987 Schedule of Penalties which provided for the cancellation of a license for a total of twelve (12) months suspension of fine which are final and executory and the above provision on revocation of the license;

WHEREFORE, finding said request to be meritorious, the provision on revocation of license is hereby amended that for purpose of revocation of license, an agency should have an accumulated five (5) Orders of suspension which have become final and executory instead of three (3) and Section 3 D should now read as follows:

D. "Incurring an accumulated five (5) Orders of suspension by an agency based on final and executory orders within the validity period of its license."

Adopted: 16 Dec. 1991
