Who is exclusively allowed to practice professions within the Philippines?
The State aims to develop and protect a strong reservoir of national talents across all fields. To safeguard local professionals, the practice of all professions in the Philippines is strictly regulated. As a general rule, the practice of professions shall be limited exclusively to Filipino citizens. Exceptions to this rule are only allowed in specific cases prescribed by law, as dictated by Article XII, Section 14, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “The practice of all professions in the Philippines shall be limited to Filipino citizens, save in cases prescribed by law.” 22-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
