The Professional Regulatory Board of Chemical Engineering (PRB-ChE) conducted a stakeholders’ consultation on 14 May 2026 at Adamson University to discuss the Draft Resolution entitled “Creation of a Career Progression and Specialization Program (CPSP) for Professional Chemical Engineering (PQF Level 7).” The event aimed to gather inputs and recommendations from various sectors to ensure the proposed program’s relevance and alignment with national development goals and international qualification standards.

The consultation was anchored on the provisions of Republic Act No. 10968 (Philippine Qualifications Framework Act), Republic Act No. 10912 (Continuing Professional Development Act of 2016), and Republic Act No. 9297 (Chemical Engineering Law of 2004). These laws supported the institutionalization of a structured career pathway and specialization framework for chemical engineers in the Philippines.
