Manila Economic & Cultural Office - MECO

30/05/2026

The Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO), together with the Migrant Workers Office (MWO)-Taipei and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA)-Taipei, is honored to jointly host the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) in the conduct of the 2026 Special Professional Licensure Examinations (SPLE) in Taiwan.

This year's SPLE brings together at least 200 examinees across 19 professions, providing migrant workers and overseas Filipinos in Taiwan the opportunity to obtain their Philippine professional licenses without having to travel home.

The examinations are being conducted at the OFW Global Center in Taipei for Days 1 and 2, while Day 3 examinations will be held at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Floors of the Youxin Building of Takming University in Neihu District, Taipei City.

MECO expresses its gratitude to the PRC, MWO-Taipei, OWWA-Taipei, Takming University, and all partners and volunteers whose support made this undertaking possible. We wish all examinees the very best as they pursue their professional goals and continue to demonstrate the excellence and competence of Filipino professionals overseas.
