According to the IRR of RA 9297, the professional ID card cannot be renewed by PRC if the required number of CPE units is not complied.

• A. It depends
• B. False
• C. True
• D. Not sure

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is that CPD (CPE) requirements are linked to renewing a professional license, and the professional ID card is issued to those with an active license. Under the IRR for RA 9297, you earn continuing education credits to keep your license current, and the renewal of the license is what the PRC bases on to allow continued practice. Saying that the professional ID card cannot be renewed if the required CPE units aren’t complied with treats the ID card renewal as an automatic, standalone consequence. In practice, the regulation focuses on license renewal and compliance with CPD as the path to maintaining an active license; there can be grace periods or approved remedies to address shortfalls in CPD credits, and the ID card renewal hinges on the license status being in order. Therefore, the statement is not strictly correct, making the correct choice False.
