During
the early years of the Martial Law Regime, which was declared under
Proclamation No. 1081, dated September
21, 1972, President Ferdinand E. Marcos issued Presidential Decree
No. 223, which ordered the autonomy of the Boards of Examiners from the Civil
Service Commission, and created the “Professional Regulation Commission”, under
the Office of the President. It shall be headed by the Commissioner and two
Associate Commissioners. The Board of Dental Examiners was then re-named as the
Board of Dentistry.
P.D.
No.223 has presently been repealed with the enactment and implementation of
R.A. No.8981. At the present instant, the dental profession is highly honored
now that the incumbent head as Chairperson of the PRC is a lady dentist, Dr. Leonor Tripon Rosero.
