Potential members of the ChE Regulatory Board are nominated by this body.

• A. PICHE
• B. CHED
• C. DECS
• D. PRC

Answer: (A)

The main idea is who provides the nominations to fill seats on the Chemical Engineering Regulatory Board. In the Philippines, professional regulation relies on input from the field’s own professional organization to ensure nominees are active practitioners with relevant experience. The Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineers (PICHE) is the recognized body that nominates potential members for the Chemical Engineering Board, which PRC then appoints. The other entities listed aren’t the nominating bodies for this board: CHED focuses on higher education policy, DECS (now DepEd) handles basic education, and PRC is the regulator that makes the appointments based on those nominations.
