The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has accredited 715 construction professionals under its "Pakyaw" contractor’s license program. This initiative aims to improve the competitiveness of the construction workforce in the Philippines. Launched in July 2022, the program encourages individuals and small contractors to obtain proper licenses. It addresses misconceptions about the sufficiency of basic business registrations for legitimate construction operations. The Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) emphasizes that all contractors must have a PCAB license to operate legally. This requirement aims to enhance public safety and reduce incidents in the construction sector.
