The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) on Wednesday released the results of the recent physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) board examinations.

Data from PRC showed that a total of 846 out of 1,243 examinees passed the PT board exam, while 114 out of 229 passed the OT licensure test.
