    RA 1080 FOR MIDWIFE IS WHAT CONVERSION TO CIVIL SERVICE ELIGIBILITY?

      Hi, Ann!

      Thanks for visiting our site.

      “The bar examinations and the examinations given by the various boards of examiners of the Government are declared as civil service examinations, and shall… be considered as equivalent to the first grade regular examination given by the Bureau of Civil Service if the profession requires at least four years of study in college and the person has practiced his profession for at least two years, and as equivalent to the second grade regular examination if the
      profession requires less than four years of college study.”
