Psychology in the Philippines: A Profession on the Rise

By Carla Marez P. Peruelo

(This is just an excerpt from the original article.)

For many, many years past, psychology in the Philippines could not satisfactorily answer this question as strongly and soundly as it now can. Fortunately for psychologists and the general public alike, a new era of psychology in the Philippines has recently been ushered in by the signing of Republic Act 10029, which is also known as the Philippine Psychology Act of 2009 or simply the Psychology Law. Before the passing of this law, psychology in the Philippines was not a profession regulated by the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC). Thus its standards of practice have not been as codified as those of other professions, and the attachment of the title “psychologist” has not been that regulated. But with the signing of the Psychology Law, the title “psychologist” has now become a legally protected job title, and only those who have passed the licensure exam for psychologists (except those eligible for registration without examination) and fulfilled the requirements set by the PRC for registration can rightfully take on the title of “professional psychologist.”

The Psychology Law obviously has huge impacts on the practice of psychology in the Philippines and thus concerns psychology practitioners in all its diverse areas, especially those engaging in clinical work. But what does the law mean for the general public—the individuals and groups to whom such psychological services are discharged? Why should it concern the rest of the Filipino people—or more to the point, should it? 

Much as many of us wouldn’t dream of putting our health and safety on the line by undergoing medical treatment from some sloppy quack doctor not holding a valid license to practice medicine, so should we be not vulnerable to incompetent or untrained individuals engaging in psychological practice. The Psychology Law does not only work for the welfare of psychologists; more importantly, it’s for the good of the general public as well. It works to regulate and set the standards for the professional practice of psychology in the country, and by so doing protect the public from obtaining poor quality, substandard services from individuals unfit or unqualified to practice psychology.

 “The main purpose of the law is to professionalize the practice once and for all. This will not only uplift the practice of psychology as a profession (after passing the board exam) but it will also give a concrete distinction as to what a psychometrician, a licensed psychologist, and a graduate of a Psychology degree can and cannot practice. The keyword, actually, is professionalization,” explains Mr. David Karlo I. Equipaje, OTRP, PhD (cand.), President of the Recoletos de Bacolod Graduate School (RBGS) Psychological Society. 

The rule on the conduct of the licensure examinations for psychologists is just one stipulation of the Psychology Law. The law also delineates the scope of practice of psychology, the legal requirements and procedures for registration as a professional psychologist, and other important provisions that serve to define and regulate psychology as a profession in the Philippines. The PRC Board of Psychology has been going around the country conducting orientation briefings on the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Psychology Law, and this coming Saturday, September 28, an IRR Orientation Briefing is scheduled to be held at the Little Theater, University of Negros Occidental – Recoletos, from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. 

“This IRR briefing on the Psychology Law is the first in Bacolod City and the entire province of Negros Occidental, so please come and join us as we listen to Dr. Imelda Virginia G. Villar, Member, Professional Regulatory Board of Psychology,” invites Mr. Calvin Dave D. Ganub, MSGC, RGC, Vice President of the RBGS Psychological Society. 

The signing of the Philippine Psychology Act and the approval of its IRR mark the setting of the cornerstones of psychology as a legally protected profession. We are lucky to be currently witnessing the foundations of lawful, professional psychological practice being laid down right before our very eyes, and it would be interesting to see—and certainly a thing to watch out for—how it builds up to be the profession this country needs to assist it towards nation-building and progress. For psychology as a branch of learning offers valuable knowledge and insight into human behavior and mental processes, but as a profession it can do so much more to apply such knowledge and principles for the promotion of mental health, the eradication of the stigma of mental illness, and the maximal utilization of psychological knowhow for the betterment of the Filipino citizenry and the Philippines as a nation.
