FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1. HOW ABOUT CPE TO CPD?
Last time I earned, 40 CPE points when I attended the PAP convention in Cebu City. The evaluator counted my 40 CPE points as CPD points. Yes, CPE and CPD as of this moment are the same/same weight.
2. WHAT IF I DIDN’T RENEW MY LICENSE ON MY BIRTH DATE?
Relax, you can still renew your license. You will just have to pay 30 pesos for every month of delay.
3. DO I NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST 3 CONSECUTIVE YEARS TO GET MY PAP WITH GOOD STANDING CERTIFICATE?
Yes. I passed the board exam last 2014 and started to be a member in 2015. Apparently, I lack one-year membership. So to settle it, I just paid for 2014 membership to have my certificate. According to the guidelines, we should be part of the PAP once we acquired the license. P1,000.00 for membership by the way.
