PD 223 is the decree that created which commission?

• A. Professional Regulation Commission
• B. National Health Laboratory
• C. Philippine Medical Board
• D. Civil Service Commission

Answer: (A)

Centralizing professional regulation under one umbrella body is what this decree achieves. Presidential Decree No. 223 created the Professional Regulation Commission to oversee licensure, regulation, and professional standards across many fields, bringing together the previously separate boards into a single central authority. That’s why the Professional Regulation Commission is the correct choice. The other options do not fit: the National Health Laboratory isn’t a regulatory commission created by this decree; the Philippine Medical Board exists as a professional board rather than the central regulator created by PD 223; and the Civil Service Commission is a separate body regulating public service, not formed by this decree.
