e. Passers of the regular Bar examination given by the Supreme Court of the Philippines and of Board examinations given by the Professional Regulation Commission are automatically granted a civil service eligibility pursuant to Republic Act (RA) No. 1080. They are automatically considered as civil service eligibles in accordance with CSC Resolution No. 90-1212. Thus, they may opt to apply and take the corresponding examination anymore. Also, individuals who were granted the Honor Graduate Eligibility pursuant to P.D. 907 may opt not to apply and take the corresponding examination anymore.

Yes, you can use your PRC license, in lieu of FOE, however there are other qualifications if you wish to apply Bureau of Fire.

Hindi mo need maging Civil Service Passer. Basta maipasa mo ang FOE pwede ka na mag-apply sa BFP.
Ask ko lang po kung dapat nakapasa muna sa civil service examination bago magtake ng exam sa fire officer examination?
No need po na pumasa muna sa Civil Service.

Doon lamang ang lugar na pag-eexaman.
Sir pd po ba mag apply sa BFP na ang gamit ay yung pagka pasa sa napolcom?Salamat
Hindi po kasi equivalent ang NAPOLCOM eligibility sa Civil Service Eligibility. So you need to take the Fire Examination muna.

Yes. Wala pong exemption sa FOE kahit PRC or CSE passer ka.
