The long wait is over for residents of Nueva Vizcaya as the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) service center is set for its soft opening on July 15, 2025. This development was announced by Ms. Dolly Rose C. Minas, head of the Public Employment Service Division under the office of Governor Atty. Jose V. Gambito, who also serves as the designated coordinator for the project.
Ms. Minas made the announcement following her visit to PRC Regional Director John G. Alilam at the PRC regional office in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. The new service center will be located at Nightingale Hall, within the provincial capitol complex, adjacent to the Philippine National Red Cross office.
The service center will not only cater to professionals from Nueva Vizcaya but also to those from the neighboring provinces of Quirino and Ifugao, providing a much-needed convenience for professionals in these areas.
Governor Gambito expressed his commitment to the project, stating, “This service center reflects our dedication to improving the accessibility of essential services for our professionals. We are committed to supporting their needs and making their professional journeys smoother.”
Currently, two personnel hired by the provincial government are undergoing training at the PRC Regional Office. They will manage the service center alongside a PRC staff member who will supervise operations. According to Ms. Minas, the service center will offer various services, including receiving applications for new or renewed PRC licenses, authentication, and certification. Online applications will still be accepted. All applications received at the center will be forwarded to the regional office every Friday for approval and returned the following week for applicants to pick up.
In addition to providing manpower, the provincial government has also supplied office equipment, including tables, chairs, and computers. Governor Gambito has instructed the IT Division to ensure internet connectivity for the service center.
Director Alilam also conveyed that Nueva Vizcaya will soon be the venue for the Licensure Examination for Teachers and possibly the Criminology Board Exam, as these are the two examinations with a high number of takers from the province. /RMI
