Published in the Sun.Star Cebu newspaper on December 12, 2009.

AS SOON as the implementing rules are out next year, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) will regulate and supervise the real estate services instead of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Real estate practitioners have yet to come up with the guidelines to carry out the Real Estate Service Act of the Philippines (Resa). The PRC began last month gathering nominations from the real estate industry on who will form the Professional Regulatory Board of Real Estate Service that will draft the implementing rules and regulations of the Resa.

Emily Amie Cabillada, president of the Philippine Association of Realtors Board Inc.-Cebu Realtors Board Inc. (Pareb-Cereb), said the board will be created this month or early next year. President Arroyo signed Resa into law last June 29.
