“We will apply the national law. All law enforcement agencies PNP and City Hall are supposed to implement the law. And I will implement the law. I have no choice. I will file cases if need be. For the bail bond, the amount is double the amount of pilfered power. So it will be very harsh,” Treñas was quoted as saying in a statement issued by MORE Power.
Police arrested Nazareno Pagayon, 54, a barangay tanod, and Jason Mark Gualin, 26, who for allegedly “dismantling the MORE Power electric meter.”
