PD 223 is the decree creating which organization?

• A. Professional Regulation Commission
• B. National Health Laboratory
• C. Philippine Medical Association
• D. Bureau of Internal Revenue

Answer: (A)

PD 223 is a Presidential Decree that centralized professional regulation in the Philippines by creating the Professional Regulation Commission. This decree established a single body under the Office of the President to oversee licensure, registration, and regulation of practice for numerous professions, consolidating what had been scattered across separate boards. That’s why this option is the right one: the decree was specifically issued to establish the PRC. The National Health Laboratory is not a regulatory body created by this decree, the Philippine Medical Association is a private professional organization, and the Bureau of Internal Revenue is a tax agency, not a professional-regulation commission.
