MANILA, Philippines - Only registered and licensed Professional Teachers will be allowed to use and append to their names the professional title “LPT," the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Board of Professional Teachers (Board) announced on Wednesday, April 26.
This is pursuant to Board Resolution No. 01 – 2017 which says appending professional title "LPT" will give an impression that the bearer is a bona fide registered and licensed professional.
