Depende pa rin sa gamit.
Tulad halimbawa kapag tinutukoy mo yung FIA Official ng Formula 1:
"A FIA Official penalized Juan Pablo Montoya for ignoring a blue flag".
So yung sa MMDA naman, pwede ring:
"A MMDA officer apprehended me". You pronounce this as:
"A mmmm-da officer apprehended me".
(sori ha, kakabasa ko lang kse yung katulong jokes dun sa isang thread dito sa Tsikot hehe).

unless you pronounce it as FI-YA (which shouldn't be the case since it is an acronym).

so in both cases... the use of a vowel to pronounce the first syllable is required (and hence requires the use of "an").

You should use “an” before a word beginning with an “H” only if the “H” is not pronounced: “an honest effort”; it’s properly “a historic event” though many sophisticated speakers somehow prefer the sound of “an historic,” so that version is not likely to get you into any real trouble.

Use "an" in place of a when it precedes a vowel sound, not just a vowel. That means it's "an honor" (the h is silent), but "a UFO" (because it's pronounced yoo eff oh). This confuses people most often with acronyms and other abbreviations: some people think it's wrong to use "an" in front of an abbreviation (like "MRI") because "an" can only go before vowels. Korek si MAZDAMAZDA...the sound is what matters. It's "an MRI," assuming you pronounce it "em ar eye."
