PRC changes website design after Facebook-like layout fiasco

Daniel Morial

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) was under fire yesterday as a screenshot of their web portal spread through social media for taking a lot of design cues from Facebook.

As can be seen from the screengrab above, the website for the PRC Licensure Examination & Registration Information System (LERIS) greatly resembles the login page of Facebook in layout and overall design. We first thought it was fake until we visited the site. It looks like a phishing portal for Facebook but, it’s a Philippine Government portal for registered professionals.

The fiasco must have reached the concerned parties as they have changed the website a bit earlier today — a change in color (see below).

Looks like the people in charge of the portal has some explaining to do. Let’s hope they change it soon and have it done professionally.

Facebook Messenger for Android introduces multi-account feature

Daniel Morial

Weeks after introducing multi-account support for Instagram, Facebook is now bringing the same feature to its main messaging app, the Messenger.

While multiple account support for Messenger is not exactly as useful as with Instagram, it’s a welcome feature for those who have shared devices like a home tablet. Also, if we’re to base on the screenshots above, the app will also sport Google’s Material Design for Android.

The refreshed app should come to your Android devices in the coming days and once your app gets the update, just head over to the settings tab and looks for ‘Accounts’. From here, you can add each Facebook account you that will use the app without the need to log them in from the main Facebook app.

Obviously, the update is heading for Android only for now. Windows Phone and iOS counterparts are yet to receive the feature.
