Philippine Professional Organization – UAE (PPO-UAE)
The Philippine Professional Organization – United Arab Emirates (PPO-UAE) is the recognized umbrella organization of about 24 Filipino professional associations in the UAE. It serves as the central coordinating body that unites 10,000+ licensed Filipino professionals across various disciplines, industries, and emirates, with a shared mission of professional excellence, public service, and nation-building.
PPO-UAE plays a vital role in advancing the welfare, competence, and global recognition of Filipino professionals working and residing in the UAE.
Core Mandate
The primary mandate of PPO-UAE is to partner with the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) of the Philippines, in close coordination with the Philippine Embassy, the Philippine Consulate General, and the Migrant Workers Office (MWO), for the conduct of the Special Professional Licensure Examinations (SPLE) or Philippine Board Examinations in the UAE.
Through this mandate, PPO-UAE ensures that qualified Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are given accessible, transparent, and well-organized opportunities to obtain or renew their professional licenses without the need to return to the Philippines.
