Iloilo International Airport ranks 12th in Asia!

Wow! Iloilo International Airport is now at 12th place in the recent survey of the Top 30 Best Airports in Asia in 2016, according to travel website.

The Guide to Sleeping in Airports (www.sleepinginairports.net) makes an annual ranking of the world's best and worst airports based on an online survey where travelers are asked to rate the services and facilities, terminal cleanliness, customer service and comfort of all the airports in the world.

In their recently published post dated October 15, 2016, Iloilo airport in Cabatuan is the highest ranking among 4 airports in the Philippines included in the Asia's Top 30. Mactan-Cebu International Airport is at no. 14, Clark International Airport at no. 15, and Davao International Airport at rank 26.

This is a big leap for Iloilo's pride as it jumped 9-notch higher after ranking at 21st last year!

In one of the reviews, traveler named as 'datrekker' commented that " Iloilo International Airport (ILO) is, at the moment, probably the best-looking and most efficient airport in the Philippines."

Changi Airport of Singapore maintains its place as the best airport in Asia and the world because, according to the site, its "terminals twinkle, the staff are exceptional, the amenities are boundless and navigation is nearly effortless."

Here's the complete list of Asia's best:

27. Trivandrum International Airport, India (TRV)
28. Da Nang International Airport, Vietnam (DAD)
29. Kaohsiung International Airport, Taiwan (KHH)
30. Multan International Airport, Pakistan (MUX)

Ninoy Aquino International Airport is still on the Asia's worst list at no. 5. Survey respondents complain of the bullet-planting scam, frequent power outages, lapses in air conditioning, uncomfortable (and insufficient) seating and complicated terminal transfers, according to the website.

Anyway, congratulations to our very own Iloilo International Airport for being one of Asia's best!

PRC issues new CPD unit requirements for professionals

Unbeknownst to many, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) has already issued new guidelines regarding the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program including unit requirements for all registered and licensed professionals before renewal of licenses.

UPDATE: Full implementation of CPD requirement will be on first quarter of 2017.

PRC Resolution No. 2016-990, signed by chairman Teofilo S. Pilando, Jr. and commissioners Angeline T. Chua Chiaco and Yolana D. Reyes on June 28, 2016, introduces amendments to the revised guidelines and the procedures of implementation of CPD programs.

"The Commission finds the need to amend some provisions of the said guidelines in order to strengthen the implementation of the said guidelines," the Resolution stated.

The resolution is also in harmony with the recently passed Republic Act 10912 or the Continuing Professional Development Act of 2016 which states that CPD programs will be implemented in each of the regulated professions, and mandatory for the renewal of the Professional Identification Cards of all registered and licensed professionals under the regulation of the Professional Regulation Commission.

Sponsored by Senator Antonio Trillas III, the measure became a law last July 21, 2016.

Some of the amendments are as follows:

• Every Professional Regulatory Board (PRB) shall creat CPD Council composed of Chairperson and 2 members.
• CPD Council accredits Local CPD Providers (Individual/Sole Proprietor, Firm/Partnership/Corporation, or Government Institutions/Agencies) and Foreign CPD Providers.
• Registered and licensed professionals shall complete the required CPD units every three years.

CPD Unit Requirements

120 Credit Units: Accountancy

45 Credit Units: Aeronautical Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, Agriculture, Architecture, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Criminology, Customs Broker, Dentistry, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Environmental Planning, Fisheries, Forestry, Geodetic Engineering, Geology, Guidance and Counseling, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Librarian, Mechanical Engineering, Medical Technology, Medicine, Metallurgical Engineering, Midwifery, Mining Engineering, Naval Architecture, Nursing, Nutrition and Dietetics, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Professional Teachers, Psychology, Radiologic Technology, Real Estate Service, Respiratory Therapy, Sanitary Engineering, Social Work, Veterinary Medicine

30 Credit Units: Chemical Technician, Dental Technician, Dental Hygienist, Master Electrician, Electronics Technician, Master Plumbing, Certified Plant Mechanic, Medical Laboratory Technician, Metallurgical Plant Foreman, Mine/Mill/Quarry Foreman, Detailman, X-Ray Technician, Real Estate Sales Person

Here's the PRC Resolution in toto, including the matrix of CPD activities and the credit units for each participants involved:


Most professionals have negative reaction on this new requirement, for they see the measure as additional burden and expense out of their meager earnings.

How about those professionals working abroad, some are asking. Well, they may look for accredited Foreign CPD providers or take online programs whenever it becomes available.

The Resolution was published in major newspaper Philippine Star on July 21, 2016, and the date of effectivity started fifteen days after or on August 5, 2016.

Interestingly, PRC has updated their website with new layout and already included links for Continuing Professional Development, CPD Councils, Accredited Providers, Accredited Programs, etc. But those are still dead links, meaning, no data yet especially on the list of accredited CPD providers for each profession. I'll post it ever PRC make it available, so keep it here.

Your thoughts on this CPD unit requirements by PRC? Drop a comment below.
