HB 584

House·20th Congress·Filed Jun 30, 2025

An Act Mandating the Proper Installation and Maintenance of Overhead Electric Distribution, Communication Lines, and Structures by All Electric Distribution, Cable and Telecommunications Companies for Purposes of Public Safety and Good Housekeeping

In plain language

The proposed Anti‑Spaghetti Wires Act would require electric, cable, and telecom companies to regularly inspect and clean up overhead wires and poles, remove unused or dangerous lines, and follow technical standards. Local governments would monitor compliance, create clean‑up teams, and could suspend permits or levy fines of up to ₱2 million for violations. An inter‑agency committee led by the Energy Regulatory Commission would set national standards and oversee implementation.
