The BuCor personnel were given 5 years from the date of effectivity of the law to obtain the minimum educational qualification and eligibility.
While the law was passed in 2013, the qualification standards were only approved by the Civil Service Commission in 2018, which means that the five-year deadline already lapsed in 2023.

BuCor Director General Pio Catapang, Jr, made the appeal to Remulla on behalf of the personnel.
"While the Department understands the difficulties suffered by the personnel during the COVID pandemic, it is essential to strike a balance between the exigencies of the service and the need to uphold the statutory requirements provided under RA 10575," Remulla said in the BuCor statement.
The BuCor noted affected personnel was originally 421, but 41 filed for early retirement with 105 complying with the requirements.
The BuCor said Catapang is urging affected personnel to recommend their relatives who will be accommodated as long as they are qualified for the job.
