Rationale for Revising the Syllabi

- There was a recognized need to update the subjects and their subtopics to reflect the latest trends and developments in the field.
Consultative Process
- The Board involved key stakeholders including the Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners (PIEP) and academic institutions.
- Series of consultations were held to ensure that the revision was comprehensive and representative of current professional standards.
Adoption and Implementation of the Revised Syllabi
- The document titled "Revised Syllabi for the Environmental Planners Licensure Examination" was formally adopted and promulgated as part of the Board's resolution.
- This revised syllabus became effective starting with the first licensure examination for environmental planners in the year 2001.
Effectivity and Dissemination
- The Resolution would take effect fifteen (15) days after its publication in the Official Gazette or a newspaper of general circulation, whichever came first.
- Copies of the Resolution were to be furnished to deans of schools, colleges, and universities that offer environmental planning courses.
- This was intended to facilitate proper dissemination to the institutions' graduates and students.
Official Approval and Authentication
