I request for any and all PRC documents relating to the registration of Filipino nationals who obtained their engineering degrees overseas. To the best of my knowledge, PRC has not made such publicly available to date.
RA 9292 states, "...all applicants seeking to be registered and licensed as Electronics Engineers ... shall undergo the required examinations...," to qualify for which, one must be "a holder of a degree of Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering or Electronics Engineering, or ... a holder of such equivalent and/or related engineering course...."
