If there’s an ideal thing that outgoing Senator Antonio Trillanes has done for Filipino professionals, it’ll be the CPD Law or the Continuing Professional Development Law. It is so ideal that a lot of us are complaining about it for being unrealistic. Lawmakers have been receiving a barrage of petitions to repeal it but none of the filed bills have thrived to the third reading. With continued opposition of professionals to the law, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) was pressured to revise its Implementing Rules and Regulation (IRR). Regardless of such revision and many clamors, the truth is we still have to earn CPD units for our license to get renewed, period.
