2. Bruno installed a jumper cable. He was prosecuted under a


Makati ordinance penalizing such act. He moved for its
dismissal on the ground that the jumper cable was within the
territorial jurisdiction of Mandaluyong and not Makati.

The case was dismissed. The City of Mandaluyong thereafter


filed a case against him for theft under the Revised Penal Code
(RCP). Is there double jeopardy? Explain.

3. Mrs. B supplies the Philippine National Police (PNP) with


uniforms every year. Last month, he and two (2) other officers
of the PNP conspired to execute a "ghost purchase", covered by
five (5) checks amounting to ₱200,000.00 each, or a total of
₱1,000,000.00.

An investigating committee within the PNP, which was


constituted to look into it, invited Mrs. B, among others, for an
inquiry regarding the anomalous transaction. Mrs. B accepted
the invitation but during the committee hearing, she stated
that she will not answer any question unless she be provided
with the assistance of a counsel. The PNP officials denied her
request; hence, she no longer participated in the investigation.

Was the PNP’s denial of Mrs. B’s request violative of her right
to counsel in the proceedings conducted before the PNP?
Explain.
