Under RA 4688, the registration must be with which department?

• A. Department of Health
• B. Department of Education
• C. Department of Interior
• D. Department of Public Works

Answer: (A)

Registration of medical technologists under this law is handled by the Department of Health. The health department is the agency responsible for maintaining the official roster of health professionals and supervising health practice, so it serves as the appropriate registry for medical technologists. The other departments listed—Education, Interior, and Public Works—do not regulate health professions, so they are not the proper registration authority. (Note: licensure is a separate process typically handled by the regulatory board and PRC, but registration for practice falls under the Department of Health.)
