The Philippine Environmental Code is codified as which Presidential Decree?

• A. PD 354
• B. R.A. 1265
• C. PD 1152
• D. R.A. 1124

Answer: (C)

The Environmental Code in Philippine law is the set of environmental rules codified into one framework by a presidential decree. This codification is Presidential Decree No. 1152, commonly known as the Philippine Environment Code. It consolidates policies, standards, and procedures for protecting, conserving, and wisely using the environment and natural resources, and it provides the framework for environmental planning, permitting, and enforcement. The other items are different statutes or decrees not identified as the Environmental Code, so they do not carry that codification.
