PRC-9 goes mobile

Monday 18th of June 2012

ISABELA CITY, Basilan, June 18 (PIA) –- To reach out to the people in rural areas, the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) Regional Office IX went mobile and served the workers of Zamboanga Sibugay.

DOLE-Sibugay Communications Officer Edyllgrace Poligrates said this dynamic response to the clamor of workers in the rural areas was part of the month-long celebration of the Labor Day of DOLE-Regional Coordinating Council 9 last May.

The PRC mobile service provided assistance to 96 workers, 70 of whom were assisted with registration or renewal of license services and 26 were provided consultancy and information services.

Ipil SPED School elementary principal Ariel M. Eraldo, who was served by PRC, lauded the effort.

He said the time and money he saved in going to Zamboanga or Pagadian City to process his documents for the renewal of his PRC license could be invested in other worthwhile concerns.

“Gwapo gyud ning panghitabo. Dako kaayo ni ug tabang (This effort is very good. This is really of great help to us)," he said.

Zamboanga Sibugay is a province in the Zamboanga Peninsula with island-municipalities that are far-off. The PRC mobile service afforded easy access to professionals to renew their licenses. This effort is part of DOLE-RCCs thrust of making its services felt at the grassroots. (DOLE9/ALT/RVC/PIA9-ZBST)
