Title Source: Supreme Court: Attaching PRC to DOLE for Coordination

Law: Executive Order No. 565

Decision Date: Sep 11, 2006

Executive Order No. 565 attaches the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to optimize the development and utilization of the country's manpower resources, ensuring the competence and credibility of professionals while aligning with labor and employment policies.

Law Summary

Legal Basis for PRC Attachment and DOLE’s Mandate

Section 3 of RA No. 8981 mandates PRC’s attachment to the Office of the President prior to this order.
Section 2 (1), Chapter 1, Title VII, Book III of EO No. 292 (Administrative Code of 1987) mandates DOLE to optimize the development and utilization of the country’s manpower resources.
Given DOLE’s mandate over manpower resources, it is deemed more suitable to oversee PRC functions.

Executive Authority and Power to Reorganize

Section 20, Chapter 7, Title I, Book III of EO No. 292 grants the President residual powers to reorganize the Executive Branch of government.
Exercising this power, the President issued EO No. 565 to realign PRC under DOLE.

Effectivity and Implementation

EO No. 565 takes effect immediately upon publication in a newspaper of general circulation.
The order was signed by the President and the Executive Secretary on September 11, 2006, in Manila.

Key Legal and Administrative Concepts

PRC serves as the regulatory body for professionals in the Philippines.
Attaching PRC to DOLE aligns the commission’s regulatory functions with the government’s labor and manpower development policies.
The reorganization aims to improve general direction, coordination, and oversight of professional regulation in the country.
