[ PRC RESOLUTION NO. 98-549, s. 1998, March 10, 1998 ]
AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 98-547, SERIES OF 1998, ENTITLED GUIDELINES FOR THE REGISTRATION OF FOREIGN PROFESSIONALS ALLOWED BY LAWS TO PRACTICE THE REGULATED PROFESSIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES
WHEREAS, in a conference with officials of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in connection with the issuance of an Alien Employment Permit (AEP) as a pre-requisite for the registration of foreign professionals, it was found out that an Alien Employment Permit is not necessary and should, therefore, not be made a pre-requisite for the registration of foreign professionals allowed by laws to practice the regulated professions in the Philippines.
WHEREAS, the Commission deems it necessary for a foreign professional to submit an Alien Employment Permit for registration with the Commission for the reason that it is the Commission, through the concerned Regulatory Boards, which shall first determine whether or not the duties and functions of such foreign professional under his contract of employment/service/consultancy would constitute practice of the regulated professions and whether the DOLE shall issue the Alien Employment Permit shall be dependent upon such a determination by the Board and the Commission.
WHEREAS, it is necessary that Resolution No. 98-547, s. 1998 be amended to remove the requirement of Alien Employment Permit to avoid confusion among foreign professionals who wish to register with the concerned Regulatory Board and the Commission and to ensure the smooth implementation of said Resolution.
WHEREFORE, the Commission hereby resolves to amend Resolution No. 98-547, Series of 1998, as follows:
1. Section 3(B)-1(b) of Resolution No. 98-547 is hereby deleted. Section 3(B)-1(c), 1(d), 1(e) and 1(f) are hereby redesignated as Section 3(B)-1(b), 1(c), 1(d) and 1(e), respectively.
2. Section 3(B)-4(b) of the same Resolution is hereby deleted. Section 3(B)-4(c) and 4(d) are redesignated as Section 3(B)-4(b) and 4(c), respectively.
3. Section 3(B)-5(b) of the same Resolution is hereby deleted. Section 3(B)-5(c) and 5(d) of the same Resolution are redesignated as Section 3(B)-5(b) and 5(c), respectively.
