"As head of the revolutionary government, she, (President Corazon C. Aquino) was empowered by the 1986 Freedom Constitution to exercise legislative powers, including the power to amend, alter, or repeal the franchise of a public utility."

"This legislative prerogative is broad and plenary, stemming from the most essential, insistent, and illimitable of government powers – police power. Thus, courts are [generally] reluctant to interfere with it. [ See Ichong v. Hernandez, 101 Phil. 1155, 1166 (1957) ]."

• Franchise as a property right; 
• Procedural Due Process vs. Substantive Due Process 
• The Operative Fact Doctrine
