The Court clarified that while under the 1964 case of Vigan Electric Light Company v. Public Service Commission, no notice and hearing are required in the administrative agencies’ exercise of quasi-legislative functions, this rule does not apply when there is a law that expressly requires notice and hearing.

In the case of fixing rates, while this is considered a quasi-legislative function, the Administrative Code of 1987 expressly requires that there be prior notice and hearing in rate-fixing, with the notice to be published at least two weeks before the hearing. Hence, such requirements must be complied with for any increase in LRT and MRT fares to be valid.

The Court also found that the DOTC substantially complied with the notice and hearing requirements for D.O. 2014-014. The agency published a Notice of Public Consultation on January 20 and 27, 2011 in two newspapers. On February 4 and 5, 2011, the public consultations were held. In 2013, the DOTC published anew a notice for the public consultation scheduled on December 12, 2013.

On the issue of whether the DOTC and the LTRA have the power to increase LRT and MRT fares, the Court held that it is well-established in jurisprudence that the rate-fixing power of administrative agencies is a valid delegation of legislative power in response to the growing complexity of society, the multiplication of government regulation subjects, and the increased difficulty of administering laws.




Any increase in the fares for the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Lines 1 and 2 and the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Line 3 requires prior notice and hearing to be valid.
