I is always referred to the General Welfare Clause. Police Pdwer rest upon public necessity and upon the right of the State and of the public to sert- Protection, Police Power |s exercised by the national govemment through the legislative department it may also be delegated within limits to|local governments. \_This has been demonstrated in the case of Femando as Mayor of Marikina vs. St. Scholastica GR. No. 4611707, March 12, 2013. it discusses the delegation of Police power to LGU through the Local Government Code. {tis said that “Police power is the plenary power vested in the legislature to make statutes and ordinances to promote the health, morals, peace, education, good order or safety and general welfare of the people.” The State, through the legislature, has delegated the exercise of police power to local government units, as agencies of the State. This delegation of police power is embodied in Section 1632 of the Local Goverment Code of 1991 (R.A. No. 7360), known as the General Welfare Clause, which has two branches. “The firs, known as the general legislative power, authorizes the municipal council to enact ordinances and make regulations not repugnant to law, as may be necessary to carry into effect and discharge the powers and duties conferred upon the municipal ‘council by law. The second, known as the police power proper, authorizes the municipality to enact ordinances as may be necessary and proper for the health and safety, prosperity, morals, peace, good order, comfort, and Convenience of the municipality and its inhabitants, and for the protection of their property. Police power has been used to justify public safety measure such as building regulations, the regulations of carrying of deadly weapons, the requirement of rotational participation in patrol duty, regulations of gasoline stations and movie theaters and the use of city roads. The Police Power has been used to justify public health as to. 3 compulsory collection to a city sewerage system, the licensing of practice of medicine, the regulation of the cattle imports and the sale of meat. While in the field of public moral, police power has been used as the basis for judicial approval of legislation punishing vagrancy and classifying a pimp as a vagrant regulation the operation, ing gambling, dance halls, motels and hotels. \-Bat where a municipality refused to give any permit for night clubs and any license for professional dancers, the Court deciared the ordinance unconstitutional; as going beyond mere regulation into prohibition of a profession or calling in which, if property regulated can be legitimate. Dela Cruz vs. Judge Paras cited by Bernas (pages 101-103). | While gambling may be prohibited, when it is allowed, the court will not pass judgment on the choice of the Congress. We now come to remember MAYOR PABLO P. MAGTAJAS & THE CITY OF CAGAYAN DE ORO vs. PRYCE PROPERTIES CORPORATION, INC. & PHILIPPINE AMUSEMENT AND GAMING CORPORATION; this is a conflict between a statute that was enacted by Congress allowing PAGCOR to operate a Casino in CDO which is ‘ageinst on the ordinance of CDO that prohibits gambling. The SC said that a national legislation must prevail. 1Félice Power has been used to justify measures for general welfare; enactments have been upheld regulating the staughter of carabaos, regulating nuisances, laying down rules for the deportation of aliens, anti- feraft laws in other words by this enumeration it shows that Police Power has everything to do with Public Order with putting into order everything for the welfare of the public. Police Power has always been justified for the welfare of the citizens. 2 Section of what are the rights protected under the Rights to due process clause of the Constitution’ the Boh states hs gh tt are protected under te due process laa in Section Iw lind te Due Procett Clause and The Equal P Clause.
