The Professional Regulation Commission cancelled Thursday the September 2021 Physicians Licensure Examination in Metro Manila, two days before it was supposed to start.
Affected examinees may take the next succeeding board exams without forfeiting their examination fees, the PRC said. The exams were supposed to be held on Sept. 11, 12, 18, and 19.
"The PRC requests the public's utmost understanding and cooperation as it complies with the guidelines set forth by Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases," it said.
Metro Manila remains under MECQ until Sept. 15 after the IATF postponed the supposed transition to the more relaxed GCQ with granular lockdowns.
The PRC however clarified that the Physician Licensure Exams in Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Legaspi, Lucena, Tacloban, Tuguegarao, and Zamboanga scheduled on Sept. 11, 12, 18, and 19 would proceed.
