The Special Professional Licensure Examination provided overseas Filipinos in Singapore with access to professional accreditation across multiple regulated professions.
The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), in coordination with the Migrant Workers Office-Singapore, conducted the 2026 Special Professional Licensure Examination (SPLE) in Singapore from 29 to 31 May 2026. The examination enabled overseas Filipinos to sit for professional licensure tests without returning to the Philippines. The event took place simultaneously in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The examinations were conducted at HFSE International School and covered 17 professions, including architecture, engineering, nursing, teaching, midwifery, veterinary medicine and real estate appraisal. On the first day alone, 125 examinees from 13 professions completed their examinations.
A total of 163 candidates participated in the three-day examination period. The programme was administered by a PRC delegation led by Director Angiereen D. Medina, working in coordination with the Migrant Workers Office-Singapore and Filipino community volunteers who supported the conduct of the examinations.
Prior to the examination period, Philippine Ambassador Medardo G. Macaraig welcomed the PRC delegation during a courtesy call at the Embassy. The initiative showcases ongoing efforts by Philippine government agencies to extend professional and public services to Filipinos living and working overseas.
