Board exams for physicians on September 15 to 16, 2018, postponed

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) has postponed the Physicians Licensure Examination (PLE) scheduled on September 15 to 16, 2018 due to the the impending onslaught of Typhoon Ompong (Mangkhut).

In an advisory on Friday, the PRC said the postponement is in consideration of Ompong's expected impact in Baguio, which is one of the locations of the PLE.

It also cited PAGASA's forecast of extensive flooding in Metro Manila.

The exam was to be held in Manila, Baguio, Cebu, and Davao.

PRC said it will soon announce the date of the PLE. —Jessica Bartolome/NB, GMA News
