FROM : PLO
1. Reference:
2. This pertains to the request of the Chief, Provincial Administrative and Records
Management Unit of Leyte Police Provincial Office request for the undersigned to
render legal opinion/comment on herein attached draft of Memorandum of
Understanding between the PNP and the Don Orestes Romualdez Electric
Cooperative, which aims to curb pilferage/theft of electricity within the
municipalities serviced by latter in order to protect it as the implementing arm of
the National Government in its rural electrification program and the members-
consumers-owners.
3. After a careful reading of the proposed MOU, the undersigned finds the same to
be legally feasible under both R.A. 7832 otherwise known as the Anti-electricity
and Electric Transmission Lines/Materials Pilferage Act of 1994 and the Magna
Carta for Residential Electricity Consumers;
Hence it is respectfully suggested that the Signatory for the PNP be the
Regional Director, who shall secure a written authority from the Chief PNP for the
purpose.
