Thanks to a counselor in Ateneo de Zamboanga, I got word that the PRC resolution regarding those who applied for the third batch of oath taking under RA 9258's Grandfather's Clause has been signed (Archie, thanks a lot talaga!). Yes, I had just called up the PRC, and according to Ms. Let Marcelo, indeed the much awaited Resolution has been signed. I checked for my name and it's there. Finally! Thanks God. Looks like this is a very good birthday gift I am getting from the Blessed Virgin Mary whose birthday we celebrate today. Thank you Mama Mary!
Now I can register with IPCAP! Those who made it can ready themselves to become IPCAP members. You are welcome as long as you have the license. We have the official receipts na po. IPCAP stands for the Integrated Professional Counselors Association of the Philippines (IPCAP), Inc., a duly SEC-registered professional organization that will work for the counseling profession and all licensed and registered Guidance Counselors. For inquiries, please email (berngu721@gmail.com) or text me at 0919-6236605 (for SMART subscribers) or 0927-3842739 (for GLOBE subscribers).
Accordingly, registration starts Wednesday September 10, 2008. Please bring along the claim slip with the Official Receipt for the payment we made at the application stage. I got this from the PRC website which pertains to what we will bring for registration:
"Those who will register are required to bring the following: duly accomplished Oath Form or Panunumpa ng Propesyonal, current Community Tax Certificate (cedula), 2 pieces passport size picture (colored with white background and complete nametag), 1 piece 1” x 1” picture (colored with white background and complete nametag), 2 sets of metered documentary stamps, and 1 short brown envelope with name and profession; and to pay the Initial Registration Fee of P600 and Annual Registration Fee of P450 for 2008-2011."
Ms. Marcelo has also informed me that as regards the ticket for the oath-taking, they will start releasing only on Sept. 15, 2008. The payment is P1,500 (mukhang may discrepancy ba from the one I blocked and copied from their website? Anyway, maybe it's better to have extra than to lack...) See you at the registration I shall register on Monday Sept. 15 so I do only 1 trip, and yes the Oath-taking. God bless
