Look at this:
PHILIPPINE GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING ASSOCIATION, INC.
Accredited Professional Organization by the Professional Regulation Commission
Rm. 107 Philippine Social Science Council Building, Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City

The Chairman of the Professional Regulatory Board of Guidance and Counseling, Dr. Lily Rosqueta-Rosales, said that there will be no violations of RA 9258 (the Guidance Act of 2004) and the Implementing Rules and Regulations. Guidance Counselor applicants are advised to confirm with her office whatever text messages they receive or get from their e-mail. She emphatically said that experience will not substitute for the courses stated in RA 9258 and that the required core subject(s) which were completed after 2004 will not be considered in the evaluated for license under the Grandfather’s Clause of RA 9258.


FROM: DR. LILY ROSQUETA-ROSALES

Ang gulo no? Is this any indication of the Board's including PRC's ineptness?

What are the implications of this official statement?
1. Gumastos ang tao ng PERA, PANAHON, LAKAS, PASASALAMAT at PAPURI KAY DR. LUZ GUZMAN na nagmagandang-loob lang!? para malisensyahan bilang Guidance Counselor! Pati si Dr. Rosas ay nakihalubilo dito na kung titingnan mo, dapat ang 2 na nasa Board lang ang dapat nangangasiwa. Supervision lang po ang PRC. Dapat nangunguna lagi ang Board. Sorry po, pero mukhang wala na sa ayos ang lahat! Pasensya na po, pero pwede kayang i-refund ang mga nagastos, pati na yung oras, at lakas, at bawiin ang mga pasasalamat at papuri?

2. Ganito na kaya itong nangyayari sa atin - pagkatapos tayong hingan na magbayad, lalo na yung di ka bibigyan ng resibo at di rin i-a-account, lalo na yung sa oath-taking sa Manila Hotel, walang resibo yun a. Anong klase tayong mga GC's? Wag naman sanang magpatuloy itong mga di karapat-dapat na mga gawain!

Ilalabas kaya na tama itong documentong ito? Pero heto na po! Mahirap intindihin dahil di dapat nangyayari, in the 1st place!

APO pa rin ang PGCA? Ano ka, mag-aatend na naman ng mga local at national ang mga humabol sa Jan 26? Wala na nga yung PRC resolution of 2005, passe na po. Agree ako sa sulat na walang APO, inanounce na sa GCC noong Octubre itong bagay na ito. Kung paborito po ang PGCA, wala akong magagawa diyan. Pero ang PRC ang namamahala sa mga bagay na ito. So, maghintay tayo ng announcement, OFFICIAL DOCUMENT mula sa PRC kung ano talaga ang dapat.

Anyway, andiyan na yung unang documento na binigyan ng OK ng PRC Chair.

this is just funny!
inconsistencies again.. nothing new...

as counselors, we've been taught how to develop trust... but how can we develop "trust" most esp in the supposedly APO?

i filed my PRC requirements before jan26 deadline... the clerk in the window said that my APO should only be from PGCA.. in as much as i dont want to fix my PGCA requirements, i was forced to fix them...

now these inconsistent documents again? some of the officers from different professional orgs (counseling org and pyschology org) were my previous professors in MA, they were the ones who discussed about the importance of "trust" and rapport...

now i dont know whom to trust anymore...

all effort, time and money will become meaningless, most especially that there are others who were exempted even if not qualified. this is very unfair and unjust to those who sacrificed to do everything just to comply. we need to change the system religiously.

nakakainis itong memo. last january 24 (saturday) we received a text message that they are allowing without pgca doc and some lacking requirements to beat the january deadline. i did not pay attention to it since text announcement is very unreliable plus the fact that its saturday so how can you comply with some other requirements like clearances etc. i am a graduate of MS psychology with 5 yrs of experience in counseling and they said before i am not qualified since i need to be graduate of ma guidance & counseling first and should have finished my masters before 2004. what the heck that lowered these standards and did just announce it through text? this memo should have been published at least a week before jan. 26. my goodness what is happening??? really.

Oh... What a comment... I supposed all of these anonymous writers are RGC's. Not even one of you said a positive reaction for the creation of PRBGC. I am not a Registered GC but I'm so glad it is now professionalized. I'm now taking MA in Guidance just so I would be licensed but I'm not affected with all your negative comments. I respect your impressions and assumptions but are you not guilty or ashamed the way you react considering your professions. You should be proactive. If you think you're qualified, then why didn't you talk to the most reliable persons, the Board! There's always a solution to a problem. You're just making yourselves miserable. Aren't you glad that GC's are now being regarded. That's part of improving the organization. That's why officers are elected to make sure that things are in order. I'm more challenge to meet the Board and I'm going to congratulate them for doing a job well done.... Go for it DR. ROSALES & DR. GUZMAN! TAKE ALL THESE COMMENTS AS A CHALLENGE.... GOOD LUCK AND MORE POWER...
