Under Section 18, which combination is listed as the answer?

• A. RA 5527
• B. RA 8981
• C. RA 5527, PD 498
• D. RA 5527, RA 8981

Answer: (D)

Section 18 frames the legal basis that governs the medical technology profession by tying together the specific act that creates and regulates the practice with the broader framework that modernizes how regulatory boards operate. The combination listed under this section is the Medical Technology Act, which establishes the Board, licensure requirements, scope of practice, and professional standards for medical technologists, together with the PRC Modernization Act, which updates the structure, powers, and procedures of the regulatory boards, including oversight, registration, and enforcement. PD 498 exists as an older decree governing practice, but it is not the pairing identified under Section 18 in combination with the Medical Technology Act. Hence, the set of laws recognized under Section 18 is RA 5527 and RA 8981.
