Surigao Electric Company vs Municipal of Surigao 24 SCRA 898

Facts

Congress amended the Public Service Act changing the requirements of a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Public Service Commission for public services owned and controlled by the government but at the same time affirming its power of regulation. The petitioners Surigao Electric Co. and Arturo Lumanlan to whom the rights and privileges of the former including its plants and facilities were transferred challenged the validity of such order of the Public Service Act holding that it had no alternative but to approve the tentative schedules of rate submitted by the Municipality of Surigao.
