Which event occurred on June 16, 2016 related to the CMTA?

• A. The CMTA was introduced in Congress
• B. CMTA published in Manila Bulletin
• C. CMTA took effect
• D. CMTA was signed by the President

Answer: (C)

The key idea is how a law becomes enforceable: its effectivity date. For the CMTA, the act specifies when its provisions can be applied. June 16, 2016 is the date when the CMTA took effect, meaning its rules and procedures became active from that day forward. The other potential events—being introduced in Congress, being published in a newspaper, or being signed by the President—occur at different times in the legislative process (before implementation or around the signing date), but June 16, 2016 specifically marks the moment the law started to apply.
