What is the term used when an American citizen is allowed to practice his profession, e.g. electrical engineering, here in the Philippines?

• A. Foreign Practice Permit
• B. Mutual Recognition
• C. Foreign Reciprocity
• D. Overseas Certification

Answer: (C)

Reciprocity in professional licensure is the idea here. When a foreign national can practice a profession in the Philippines, it happens under foreign reciprocity—a formal arrangement where the Philippines recognizes the other country’s professional qualifications, and that country recognizes Filipino professionals in return. So an American engineer would be allowed to practice here if the United States grants Filipino engineers the same privilege, under the terms set by the regulatory boards. This term specifically captures the mutual recognition aspect that makes cross-border practice possible.
