AO 118-B s. 1992 was repealed by which administrative order?

• A. AO 11 s. 2007
• B. AO 118-B s. 1992
• C. CMO 6 s. 2008
• D. RA 5527

Answer: (A)

Regulatory changes are updated when a newer administrative order explicitly revokes earlier issuances. An order that states all previous regulations inconsistent with its provisions are repealed becomes the controlling rule. Here, the 2007 administrative order includes a repeal of AO 118-B s. 1992, so AO 11 s. 2007 is the one that supersedes the 1992 version. The other options don’t fit: the original order can’t repeal itself, a law (RA 5527) operates at a different level than an administrative order and isn’t the instrument for repealing an AO, and another administrative order would only repeal the older one if it explicitly states so—which isn’t the case here.
