    RA 6975
    SECTION 43. People’s Law Enforcement Board (PLEB). — (a) Creation and

    least one (1) PLEB for every municipality and for each of the legislative districts in a city.
    The PLEB shall have jurisdiction to hear and decide citizen’s complaints or cases filed

    (1) Any member of the sangguniang panlungsod/bayan chosen by his respective


    sanggunian;

    (2) Any barangay captain of the city or municipality concerned chosen by the
    association of barangay captains; and

    (3) Three (3) other members who shall be chosen by the peace and order council
    from among the respected members of the community known for their probity and
    integrity, one (1) of whom must be a member of the Bar or, in the absence thereof, a

    The Chairman of the PLEB shall be elected from among its members. The term of office
    of the members of the PLEB shall be for a period of two (2) years from assumption of
    office. Such member shall hold office until his successor shall have been chosen and
    qualified.

    (c) Compensation — Membership in the PLEB is a civic duty. However, PLEB

    from city or municipal funds.

    (d) Procedure — (1) The PLEB, by a majority vote of all its members and its
    Chairman shall determine whether or not the respondent officer or member of the PNP

    assistance and advise to the PLEBs in hearing and deciding cases against officers and
    members of the PNP, especially those involving difficult questions of law: Provided,
    That these lawyers may also be assigned to investigate claims for death and disability
    benefits of PNP members or their heirs.
    (e) Decisions — The decision of the PLEB shall become final and executory:
    Provided, That a decision involving demotion or dismissal from the service may be
    appealed by either party with the regional appellate board within ten (10) days from
    receipt of the copy of the decision.

    Questions

    1. Jurisdiction
    Since the law requires one PLEB for every five hundred city or municipal police personnel, and
    there are only 80 police personnel in Gingoog City, which PLEB has jurisdiction over the police
    personnel of Gingoog?

    If it is Gingoog, what is the extent of the jurisdiction of the PLEB Gingoog?

    For personal permission from the Mayor

    2. In case of doubt as to the jurisdiction, may councilor verify with NAPOLCOM and DILG the
    Gingoog PLEB’s jurisdiction?

    3. Should the present PLEB members try, hear and decide the present case in their hold-over
    capacity or should a new one be constituted first?
