The Statement(s) of Policy of RA 9297 is/are:

• A. To prescribe the subjects in the Chemical licensure Examination
• B. To supervise and regulate the practice of Chemical Engineering Profession
• C. Both A & B
• D. None

Answer: (C)

In a regulatory act, the Statement of Policy lays out the broad aims the law seeks to achieve for the profession and the public. For RA 9297, these aims include both ensuring that those who enter the field are tested on a defined body of knowledge and supervised to meet professional standards, and that the practice of chemical engineering is conducted under strict oversight to protect public welfare.

Prescribing the subjects for the licensure examination ensures that candidates acquire the essential knowledge and competencies expected of a chemical engineer, creating a baseline of qualification before they can practice. Supervising and regulating the practice establishes the framework for professional conduct, standards, and accountability once someone is licensed. Together, these policies reflect the dual goal of safeguarding the public by validating competence at entry and maintaining quality and ethics in ongoing practice.

So, both prescribing licensure exam subjects and regulating the profession are stated policy aims of the act, which is why the combined option is the best answer.
