The Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC) is a government-accredited, self-regulatory body in the Philippines that is responsible for the certification of non-government organizations (NGOs) operating in the country. Established in 1999, PCNC’s primary purpose is to ensure that NGOs comply with legal requirements and uphold high standards of transparency, accountability, and good governance. It is a mechanism that allows donors, government agencies, and the general public to verify the legitimacy and credibility of NGOs, particularly those that are engaged in fundraising and receiving donations for social development programs. The Beacon Academy has been accredited by the PCNC since 2005.
The National Book Development Board (NBDB) is a government agency that is tasked with the development and promotion of the Philippine book publishing industry.
