explaining that it originated from RA 6506, which created the Board of
Examiners for Criminologists. He then highlighted the significance of RA

standing, and expands its scope in terms of professionalism. The law also
enhances the employability of criminologists. The speaker emphasized that
due to technological advancements and innovations, knowledge and
competencies are continually evolving, and it’s essential to align our skills with
these changing demands. This insight made me realize that we shouldn’t
settle for outdated methods in criminology education but should instead adapt
and embrace innovation to foster development in our careers. As the world

years to pass the failing section.

The history of RA 11131 traces its origins back to RA 6506, which established
the Board of Examiners for Criminologists. The speaker then discussed the
significance of RA 11131 to the criminology profession, explaining that it elevates
criminology to a fully regulated field. This ensures that criminologists meet required
standards and strengthens the Professional Regulatory Board's role in overseeing
licensure, setting professional standards, and governing the conduct of
criminologists.

The speaker also highlighted the diverse fields in which criminologists can
engage after passing the licensure exam, emphasizing that the profession is not
limited to law enforcement. According to the speaker, criminologists are recognized
by the state for contributing to national security, peace, order, and development.

He explained the key terms under RA 11131, notably the importance of


Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This is crucial for enhancing skills and
competencies, as criminologists need to align their expertise with international
standards. The speaker also stressed the importance of the Certificate of
Registration, as it is required for securing employment in the field.

Regarding the scope of practice, the speaker shared that criminologists can
work across 17 different agencies, grouped into 4 categories:

Law Enforcement

Teaching (e.g., as university instructors)

Technical Professions

Correctional Administration

Counseling and Research

Private Investigation

The speaker then introduced the Professional Regulatory Board for


Criminology, which is responsible for crafting the licensure exam. The Board is
composed of five members: one chairperson and four members, all appointed by the
President of the Philippines. The speaker stressed the importance of understanding
the role of the board and its responsibility for ensuring the quality of the profession.
