• B. Republic Act No. 4670
• C. Republic Act No. 6655

Answer: (B)

The statement tests your knowledge of which Republic Act is known as the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers. This act is the one that sets the rights, benefits, and protections for teachers in the public school system, establishing that teachers should have security of tenure, due process, and avenues for professional development and welfare. It frames these protections with the idea of a “magna carta”—a foundational document that shields teachers and supports their professional role. That is why this act is the correct choice: it specifically carries the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers, making it the authoritative legal reference for teachers’ rights and welfare in the Philippines. The other Republic Acts correspond to different laws and do not bear that title.
