Under Section 17, which combination is listed as the answer?

• A. RA 5527, PD 498, Board Res 11 s. 2011
• B. RA 5527, PD 498, Board Res 15 s. 1996
• C. PD 498, Board Res 15 s. 1996
• D. RA 5527, RA 8981

Answer: (B)

Section 17 identifies the official blend of authorities that govern the medical technology profession: the two primary laws that establish and regulate the practice, plus the specific board resolution that implements those laws in daily practice. The fundamental statute is RA 5527, which creates the licensure framework for medical technologists. It is complemented by PD 498, which provides additional regulatory scope and rules for the profession. The implementing guidance comes from a Board Resolution issued in 1996 (the 15th series), which ties the statutes to practical requirements for certification, scope, and practice. This combination—RA 5527, PD 498, and Board Resolution 15 s. 1996—matches the framework described in Section 17, making it the correct listing. Other options omit one of these essential sources or bring in a different, unrelated resolution or act, such as RA 8981, which is not the MT-specific regulatory set referenced here.
