ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

What are the salient provisions of this Act? Name 3 provisions and briefly explain why.

Salient Provisions
● Board Composition and Powers (Sec. 6 & 7):
Explanation: The law establishes a Board to manage the Act and ensure professional standards
are met, helping maintain the quality and integrity of the profession.

● Continuing Professional Education (Sec. 31):

Explanation: This provision requires registered professionals to continue their education so they
stay updated on technology and industry standards, encouraging lifelong learning and
professionalism.

● Penal Provisions (Sec. 35):

Explanation: This section lists penalties for fraud and unprofessional behavior. It aims to

Do you think this Act helps to promote the development of the ECE profession?
Promotion of the ECE Profession
Yes, this Act supports the growth of the ECE profession by setting clear standards,
qualifications, and ethical guidelines. It ensures that professionals are well-trained and
accountable, which builds public trust in the field.
What are the benefits that an ECE will gain from this law?

Benefits for ECEs

1. Ma-recognize sila as PECE, ECE, and ECT officially through licensure and registration.
2. Mas rarami po yung job opportunity as the number of licensed and registered PECE,
ECE and ECT increases po. Making it easy for our PECE, ECE, and ECT's to earn
themselves a job.
3. ECE’s po are encouraged na ipagpatuloy po yung pag-aaral nila ng field nila which is
good po para ma-practice palagi yung skills nila.

Are there any negative implications in this Act as far as the ECE profession is concerned?

Negative Implications
1. Because po sa sobrang strict ng pagkuha ng license and such, na di-discourage po
yung iba na pasukin yung profession.
2. Yung pagpapatuloy po ng education as PECE, ECE and ECT pati pagpapa-license and
such are medyo pricey para sa mga incoming professionals na medyo sa lower-paying
positions.

How would you assess the impact of this law to your future career? To the national economy?
As a citizen of the Philippines? To your family? As a student?

Personal and Societal Impact

1. Solid foundation po ‘tong Electronics Engineering Law of the Philippines kasi mas sure
tayo as future ECE, mga current PECE’s, ECE’s, and ECT’s because only qualified
professionals lang ang members ng ating organization.

2. Para sa national economy naman natin, we will be able to contribute as professionals sa

mga development sa technology na makakapag-boost ng growth ng bansa natin.

3. As a citizen naman, mas nakaka-proud yung qualifications ng profession natin knowing

na sobrang taas ng standards, with an s, to be a PECE, ECE or ECT.

4. And since magandang foundation ang law na ‘to and maraming pwedeng maging
opportunities, mas magiging maayos din yung financial stability natin which has a big
impact to our life and our family.

5. Lastly, as a student, inaaral natin ‘tong law para mas maintindihan natin yung importance
and mas ma-encourage tayo para pagbutihin pa yung pag-aaral natin kung very
dedicated tayo to ba a PECE, ECE and ECT soon.
