• B. Republic Act No. 7836
• C. Republic Act No. 7743
• D. Republic Act No. 7610

Answer: (B)

The question tests your knowledge of which law established teaching as a regulated profession in the Philippines. The correct law is the Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994, known as Republic Act number 7836. This act created the framework for professionalizing teaching by requiring licensure and registration to practice as a teacher, administered through the Professional Regulation Commission, and it introduces the licensure examination for teachers (LET) along with standards for qualification and ongoing professional development. In short, it formalized teaching as a profession with official credentials and oversight to ensure teachers meet recognized standards. The other options refer to laws that deal with different topics, not the professionalization and licensure framework for teachers.
