Memorandum Circular No.01 dated 23 February 2017
The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) began the conferment of the “OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION OF THE YEAR” award in 1994 to give recognition to the achievements, service and commitment to the profession of the Accredited Professional Organizations (APOs).
In 2011, this award was expanded to cover three (3) categories of APOs (Categories “A”, “B” and “C”) based on the number of registered professionals.
The conferment of the “OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR” Awards by the PRC began in 1997 to give recognition to the achievement and service of professionals who excel in their respective fields of professional endeavor.
The search for the “NUBLA EXCELLENCE AWARDEE” from among the top five (5) Outstanding Professionals began in 2011 to give distinction to a single professional who best embodies the values of professionalism, integrity, responsibility, competence and excellence which PRC stands for.
These awards, considered the highest distinctions conferred upon a professional and an accredited professional organization by the PRC, are given during the Awards Night, the highlight of the PRC Anniversary Celebration and the Professional Regulation Week, observed every year from June 16 to 22 by virtue of Proclamation No. 118,
