PAGADIAN CITY, May 7 (PIA) - - - The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announces that the oath-taking for new teachers who passed the recent licensure examination last March 20 will be held on May 20, 2012 here.

Ms. Maurin M. Monjardin, Information Officer of PRC-9 said the new teachers are advised to proceed to Window 3 or 4 of the Licensure and Regulation at PRC 9 Pagadian City for details. Passers of LET in any place of examination all over the country may opt to attend the oath-taking ceremony here in Pagadian City but they will have to register/apply for their license at the regional office where they took the exam.

Supervising Professional Regulations Officer and Chief of Licensure and Regulation Division Efren P.

Deadline of application for first-timers is scheduled  on May 18, 2012. (ALT-PIA9/Zambo Sur)
