PD 498 is the decree that established the Medical Technology Board and its appointment process. Which document is this?

• A. PD 498
• B. RA 8981
• C. EO 496 s.1991
• D. PD 700

Answer: (A)

Presidential Decree No. 498 is the document in question because it is the law that created the Medical Technology Board and laid out how its members are appointed. A Presidential Decree is a direct executive-issued statute, and this specific decree spells out the board’s existence and its appointment process. The other options are different kinds of instruments with unrelated subject matter: a Republic Act is a law passed by Congress, an Executive Order is a directive to implement laws within the executive branch, and another Presidential Decree would pertain to a different issue.
