The Migrant Workers Office is calling on all Filipino professionals in Hong Kong to an assembly so they can establish the first Philippine Professional Organization (PPO) in Hong Kong.

The Filipino professionals (no definition is given by the MWO, but the term is generally used to describe a person who is engaged or performs specialized work requiring specific education or degree, training, or formal skill) are expected to elect the first executive committee of the PPO.

The PPO is seen to serve as a platform for uniting Filipino professionals in Hong Kong, promote and protect their rights and welfare, support Special Professional Licensure Examinations, currently administered by the Professional Regulation Commission in the Philippines through the MWO,  and address issues affecting them.

In recent months, the MWO has been hosting the SPLE for various professional groups, like teachers, engineers, architects and social workers, with impressive results.

In the second round of the SPLE held on September 20, a total of 287 examinees took part. This followed the first round held from May 29 to 31 this year, which was a historic milestone as it was the first time that the SPLE for various professions was held in Hong Kong.

The last licensure examination for teachers yielded a pass rate of 52.11%, the highest ever pass-rate in Hong Kong, while in social work, all examinees passed the qualifying examination, for a 100% pass rate.

The SPLE is part of the government’s efforts to help OFWs gain professional qualifications and prepare for better opportunities, whether overseas or back in the Philippines.
