Manila, November 3, 2016 --- The Professional Regulation Commission successfully conducts its annual Special Professional Licensure Board Examinations (SPLBE) by PRC officials and employees for eighteen professions to 4,318 aspiring Filipino professionals on September 14, 15, and 16 of this year.

The Special Professional Licensure Board Examinations (SPLBE), which started in 1997, is a measure of enhancing the employability and competitiveness of qualified OFWs as it would greatly boost their edge in the labor market.

The Commission, through the administration of SPLBEs also spares the OFWs from Riyadh, Jeddah, Al – Khobar Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; Doha, Qatar; Kuwait; Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates; and Hong Kong from expensive travel expenses and rigorous travel permits from employers and host countries.
