| Abolish CPD Call of Certain Sectors of Society |
About 4 years after the Republic Act 10912 or the "Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Act" became law, the presidential son, Rep. Paolo Duterte recently said that he will be proposing a bill to repeal the law authored by former Senator Antonio Trillanes, IV.
He also emphasized that he will personally work with his colleagues in the House of Representatives, the senators in the Senate and with President Rodrigo Duterte to advocate for the abolition of the said law. He cites the undue burden that the law has imposed to hard working and selfless professionals especially during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
It is noted that the said law has mandated that professionals has to comply with prescribed number of CPD units of their profession before they will be allowed to renew their Professional Identification Card (PIC) with the Professional Regulations Commission.
