By Alma L. Tingcang

PAGADIAN CITY - The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced today that the Board Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (BLEPT) in Zamboanga City, Tawi-Tawi and Jolo, Sulu has been reset from September 29, 2013 to January 26, 2014.

In a press statement, the PRC and the Professional Regulatory Board for Professional Teachers have decided to postpone the scheduled exams in the aforementioned areas upon consultations with Zamboanga City Mayor Ma. Isabelle Climaco-Salazar, Tawi-Tawi Governor Nurbert Sahali and Sulu Governor Abdusakur A. Tan II.

PRC earlier declared that the postponement of the BLEPT was decided due to the limited access to air and sea transport services brought about by the armed hostilities between government troops and MNLF – Nur Misuari faction.

Another vital consideration  was the safety and security of the examinees and examination personnel. (PIA9)
