Lawmakers formally file a bill to repeal CPD Law

Several lawmakers have formally submitted a bill that aims to repeal the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Act of 2016.

Representatives Antonio Tinio and France Castro of the ACT Teachers Party-List have formally filed House Bill No. 7171 in the House of Representatives to help abolish the controversial CPD Law.

In the formal statement, the solons described the CPD Law as “geared to benefit foreign corporations—not the professionals themselves nor the Philippine economy, aside from imposing multiple financial, logistical, and psychological burdens on teachers and other professionals.”

“This government should no longer inconvenience our professionals in the name of business and foreign interests. We strongly urge the House of Representatives and the Senate to immediately hear and pass House Bill No. 7171 to repeal the CPD Act of 2016,” the representatives added.

PRC clarifies and warns of fake news

PRC made clarifications that Sen. Trillanes never made mention that the CPD Law will be abolished but is is continually meeting with stakeholders to improve the law.

They also added that they practice “maximum flexibility” in the implementation of the CPD.
