FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON MEMBERSHIP:
What should I do if I am already a NAMPAP member with a valid NAMPAP ID and wished to become member of NAMPAP Davao Chapter?
Your membership with NAMPAP National is already valid. However, to become part of the NAMPAP Davao Chapter, you must still apply and undergo formal induction. Once your national membership is verified, the only requirement to proceed is the payment of the Annual Dues for the Davao Chapter.
Upon induction into the NAMPAP Davao Chapter, you are automatically recognized as a bonafide member of NAMPAP, Inc. (National), as all membership applications and payments are duly forwarded to the national organization.
​​
I already passed the Master Plumber Board Exam. Can I apply for membership to NAMPAP Davao Chapter even though I have not yet taken an oath?
New prospective members are always welcome to join the NAMPAP Davao Chapter. You may apply for membership at any time; however, final approval and formal induction will only take place after you have completed your Oath-taking with the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
​
While your application is in process and prior to induction, you are encouraged to participate in NAMPAP Davao Chapter activities. Please note, however, that attendance is not permitted during Chapter Elections and Board of Directors (BOD) Meetings until you are officially inducted.
​
Periodically, especially following the board examinations, NAMPAP Davao Chapter facilitates PRC-regulated Oath-taking ceremonies. These events are typically followed by the formal induction of new members into the NAMPAP organization.
What are the required payments regarding membership?

Annual Dues: Php. 800.00

Of the total amount, 80% supports the initiatives and activities of the local chapter, while the remaining 20% is allocated to NAMPAP National.
