of “ a PHILIPPINE INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNERS 2 3 GIF School of Urban and Regional Planning University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines ye Telefax No.: (632) 920-9705; Email: secretariat@piep.org.ph 3 MEMORANDUM OF CLARIFICATION TO: Members, Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners (PIEP) Applicants, Environmental Planning Licensure Exam FROM: PIEP Board of Directors. This refers to the Environmental Pi ion requirements as provided for in RA 10587, also known as An Act Reguiating the Practice of Environmental Planning. Please be reminded that, as per Section 18 of RA 10587 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, “on-the-job training shall be undertaken under the supervision of a registered and licensed environmental planner or the applicant's immediate supervisor in an agency or organization acceptable to the Board, which is engaged or involved in environmental planning functions or programs.” The law clearly recognizes the capacity and authority of the applicant's supervisor to vouch for his or her technical experience. For as long as the Professional Regulatory Board of Environmental Planning recognizes them, signatories to documents confirming on-the-job training i.e. Certificate of Experience (PRC Form No. 104) can either be a licensed environmental planner OR the applicant’s immediate supervisor in an agency engaged or involved in environmental planning function or program. The agency should be acceptable to the Board. We request all PIEP members to help disseminate this information as soon as possible, in the interest of fairness and for the benefit of applicants. Further, we advise against any act that may lead applicants to believe that an EnP’s signature is the only route towards exam eligibility, or worse, to obtain Certification in exchange for monies. For guidance.Thank you. GONON-DE CASTRO. President Chair, Board of Environmental Planning Profess n
