Following a rigorous evaluation by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), and the Philippine Technological Council (PTC), the awardees have demonstrated qualifications aligned with international benchmarks in engineering practice.
The event also featured the official turnover of the chairmanship of the APEC Engineer Register Philippines – National Monitoring Committee (AERP-NMC) from CHED to PRC, marking a significant transition in leadership.
