MANILA- In a major step toward streamlining government services, the House of Representatives has approved House Bill No. 8876 on second reading. The measure, which passed via voice vote on Wednesday, seeks to extend the validity of Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) identification cards from the current three years to five years. This reform is designed to provide long-term relief for millions of Filipino professionals-including teachers, nurses, and engineers-by reducing the frequency of renewal cycles and the associated bureaucratic hurdles.
