| The regulation of the environmental planning profession in the Philippines was amended in 2013 through Republic Act (RA) No. 10587 (Environmental Planning Act of 2013). RA No. 10587 repealed Presidential Decree (PD) No. 1308 in terms of the requirements for registration and licensure for environmental planners. Unlicensed planners in government positions needed to pursue higher education in environmental planning to qualify for the Environmental Planning Licensure Examination (EPLE). This policy brief aims to describe the state of environmental planning education in the Philippines after the passage of RA No. 10587. Through literature review and interviews, this study outlines the successes, challenges, and opportunities for environmental planning education in the Philippines. |
