Date of approval of RA 10069?

Date of approval of RA 10069?

• A. April 6, 2010
• B. March 6, 2010
• C. May 6, 2010
• D. April 16, 2010

Answer: (A)

When a Republic Act becomes law, the key moment is when the President signs the enrolled bill, giving it statutory effect, and it is then published in the Official Gazette. That approval date is what’s recorded as the date the act was enacted. For RA 10069, the president’s signature occurred on April 6, 2010, which is why that date is listed as the approval. The Official Gazette confirms this date as the enactment timestamp. Other dates you might see would typically be related to committee actions, adjournment, or publication timing, not the actual presidential approval.
