Practice question
An LGU invokes Section 154 alone to set rates for a utility wholly privately owned and not operated or maintained by it. No other rate-setting grant is established. Which is best?
- Section 154 automatically gives every LGU power over every private utility nationwide.
- Private ownership necessarily eliminates all regulation under every law.
- The LGU may create any power merely by calling it a service fee.
- The utility becomes LGU-owned whenever its rates are discussed.
- The stated facts do not establish Section 154's particular ownership-and-operation basis.
