QUESTION #1: Discuss the reason why one of the qualification for examination says that one must

be a citizen of the
Philippines.

ANSWER #1: One must be a citizen of the Philippines because the Board of Commission is under the Government of the
State. As a result, the citizens of the government must be qualified for the examination. Because the state recognizes
the importance of the profession in nation-building and development, state graduates should play a part in it.

QUESTION #2: Discuss the same as #1 why one must be of good moral character.

ANSWER #2: One must be of good moral character to avoid any false or fraudulent situations involving the professions
of Electronics Technician and Electronics Engineering. Any illegal or unlawful acts committed in the course of these
professions are penalized by law.

QUESTION #3: Can anyone like an enthusiast of electronics take an ECE licensure examination? Thoroughly support your
answer with a discussion.

ANSWER #3: Yes, anyone, such as an electronics enthusiast, can take an ECE license examination if they have a Bachelor
of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering from a university or collegiate state acknowledged by the
government of the Philippines. The individual must also be a Filipino citizen or a foreign examinee granted by the Board
under RA 9292 Section 33. They have a good moral character as well. Sections 14 and 15 of RA 9292 detail the
requirements.

QUESTION #4: Can anyone who passed the licensure exam call himself an ECT, ECE or a PECE and practice the profession
without undergoing the Oath taking? Why is it so important? State articles from RA9292 to support and discuss your
answer.

ANSWER #4: Anyone who passed certain examinations but did not undergo the Oath Taking is not authorized to call
themselves an ECT, ECE, or PECE and practice their profession. A professional oath should be taken by all competent
registrants and successful examinees. It is very important because the Commission is allowing you to perform your
profession via a Certificate of Registration and Professional Identification Card, as specified in RA 9292 Section 22.
Situational:

QUESTION #5: A BS Commerce graduate working as technical camera man for more than 10 years of a national
broadcasting company applied to take the ECT board exam. Is he qualified? Support your answer and site an article
supporting your opinion.

ANSWER #5:
No, because the candidate is a BS commerce graduate, it is stated in section 14 of RA 9292, they should be a graduate of
an Associate, Technician, Trade or Vocational course in electronics or, subject to the evaluation of the Board, such
equivalent and/or related formal or non-formal course or program from any school, college, university or training
institution recognized by the Government or the State where it is established, after completing a resident course or
program of not less than two (2) years, or has completed at least the minimum third-year equivalent of a Bachelor of
Science program in Electronics and Communications Engineering or Electronics Engineering program according to CHED
guidelines, or, subject to the evaluation of the Board such equivalent and/or related engineering course or program
from any school, institute, college or university recognized by the Government or State where it is established; wherein
the candidate did not meet this qualifications even he has been working for more than 10 years in a broadcasting
station.

QUESTION #6: An engineering student just finished his/her 3rd year academic requirements. The student may or may
not continue to complete the remaining 4th year subjects. At this point, he is not yet a graduate of a bachelor’s degree.
Will he be qualified to take:
a) ECT licensure exam? State articles from RA9292 to support and discuss your answer.
b) ECE licensure exam? State articles from RA9292 to support and discuss your answer.
c) PECE licensure written or technical evaluation exam? State articles from RA9292 to support and discuss your
answer.

ANSWER #6:
a) Yes, the student is qualified to take the ECT licensure exam. According to RA 9292 Section 14.D.2, the Electronics
Technician Exams require completion of at least a third-year equivalent of a Bachelor of Science in Electronics
Engineering course or program in accordance with CHED guidelines. Because the student has completed the
Engineering course, they are eligible to take the Electronics Technician Exams.
b) No, the student is not qualified to take the ECE licensure exam because they must hold a degree of Bachelor of
Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering from any university or collegiate state acknowledged by
the government of the Philippines. The statement is based on Section 14 of RA 9292. C.
c) No, the student cannot take the PECE licensure written or technical evaluation exam because stated in Section
20, for you to be a PECE, you should be practicing ECE for seven years, and you must pass the technical
evaluation exam. It is stated in Section 18 that, For application for registration as a Professional Electronics
Engineer, the following shall be required: Valid Certificate of Registration and Professional Identification Card as
Electronics Engineer, Valid/current membership identification card from the Accredited Professional
Organization, Certified experience record of active self-practice and/or employment either in government
service or in the private sector, in the format to be prescribed by the Board, indicating the inclusive dates,
companies worked for, description of specific responsibilities, relevant accomplishments and name, position of
immediate supervisors for a period of at least seven (7) years (inclusive and/or aggregate), at least two (2) years
of which are in responsible charge of significant engineering work, from the date applicant took his/her oath as
an Electronics and Communications Engineer or Electronics Engineer, three (3) certifications signed by three (3)
Professional Electronics Engineers attesting that the experience record submitted by the applicant is factual.
QUESTION #7: An engineering student just graduated from a BS Electronics Engineering course. Without taking any
licensure exam, can he practice his profession on a personal business or a private industry that does require a license for
employment? Are there any risks involved? State articles from RA9292 to support and discuss your answer.

ANSWER #7: No, you cannot run a personal business while practicing your profession, as well as in a private industry that
does require a license for employment. Practicing your profession without a license has many risks involved. In addition,
no person uses the title “Professional Electronics Engineer”, “Electronics Engineer”, or “Electronics Technician”, without
holding a valid Certificate of Registration and a valid Professional Identification Card by this Act, except as provided
under Section 26 hereof, according to Section 27.

QUESTION #8: For other board exam professions obtaining a score of say 100, 100,100,69 gives an average of 92.25%.
This is a possible TOP 5 for a licensure exam. If this score is a result for an ECE licensure exam, what would be the final
verdict for the examinee? State articles from RA9292 to support and discuss your answer.

ANSWER #8: Since the examiner was able to obtain a passing rate in the majority of the subjects but obtained a rating in
other subjects below 70%, not lower than 60%, the examiner will be given a chance to take the removal examination. As
stated in Section 16, To pass the licensure examination, a candidate for Electronics Engineer or Electronics Technician
must obtain a passing rating of seventy percent (70%) in each subject given during the examination: Provided, however,
That a candidate who obtains a passing rating in the majority of the subjects but, obtains a rating in the other subject/s
below seventy percent (70%) but not lower than sixty percent (60%), shall be allowed to take one removal examination
on the subject/s where they failed to obtain the passing rating: Provided, finally, That should the examinee fail to obtain
a passing rating in the removal examination, they shall be considered as having failed the entire licensure examination.

QUESTION #9: A student graduated from a Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering course. Naturally, the student
is qualified to take the ECE board exam. Is he/her allowed to take the ECT licensure exam as well? State articles from
RA9292 to support and discuss your answer.

ANSWER #9: Yes, the student is also qualified to take the ECT licensure examination because she passed both the ECE
and ECT board exams. They must be a citizen of the Philippines or a foreign country qualified to take the examination as
