Trillanes acknowledge that numerous professionals, especially those who are unemployed, underemployed or who receive low wages, and casual or contractual employees, may not be able to afford the training, seminar, or courses needed to renew the licenses.
These problems, he said, were not the intention of the law, which he said was created to help the professionals cope with their respective globalizing field. Trillanes then urged the PRC and the Professional Regulatory Boards "to review and amend their implementing or operational guidelines, which should not be burdensome to our professionals."
