The Professional Regulation Commission was created by which decree?

• A. PD 223
• B. PD 222
• C. PD 224
• D. PD 221

Answer: (A)

The question tests the legal basis for forming the Professional Regulation Commission. The Commission was created by Presidential Decree No. 223, issued in 1973 by President Ferdinand E. Marcos. This decree established the PRC and gave it the authority to license and regulate professionals, consolidating the regulation of multiple boards under a single body. In exams, this decree is the definitive source for the PRC’s creation, whereas the other decrees in the set do not constitute the instrument that created the PRC.
