PRC NO. 2004-189, SERIES 2004

: The resolution concerns the forfeiture of examination fees paid by examinees who failed to report and take the scheduled licensure examination.
: Section 7 (n) of Republic Act No. 8981 (The PRC Modernization Act of 2000).
: The examination fees paid by absent examinees shall be forfeited and are not considered valid for future examinations; they must pay anew when re-applying.
: Because the Commission incurs operational expenses such as manpower services, supplies, and forms allocated specifically for the examination, which are wasted when an examinee does not show up.
: The resolution shall take effect upon approval and completion of publication in the Official Gazette or in a newspaper of general circulation in the Philippines, whichever is earlier.
: No, they are required to pay the examination fee again when they re-apply for future licensure examinations.
: All schools, colleges, or universities (public and private) offering courses for licensure examinations, and accredited professional organizations for their information and guidance.
: The costs include manpower services, supplies, and forms that have already been allocated and used during the filing period and examination preparation.
: Chairperson Antonieta Fortuna-Ibe and Commissioners Avelina De La Rea-Tan and Leonor Tripon-Rosero.
: No, the resolution specifically addresses only the forfeiture of examination fees and the necessity to pay again upon re-application.
