An LGU enacts Ordinance 2026-14 regulating micro-mobility devices (e-scooters, hoverboards) within the city. The ordinance requires operators to obtain a local business permit, pay an annual PHP 1,500 license fee, installs speed governors so devices cannot exceed 15 kph in residential zones, and bans operation on sidewalks plus a nighttime restriction from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. A private operator challenges the ordinance as beyond LGU police power. The LGU defends it as promoting public safety, order, and general welfare, and asserts it is within the scope of local police power subject to national laws. In light of Philippine law, which of the following statements best describes the central doctrine, the standard for validity, and the likely outcome?

Choose the Best Answer

The ordinance is a valid exercise of LGU police power because it promotes public safety and order on roads within the city, but provisions regulating national roads are void for exceeding LGU authority. The ordinance is invalid in its entirety because regulation of micro-mobility devices is a matter of national policy and cannot be delegated to LGUs. The ordinance is valid only to the extent it governs traffic safety on local roads; provisions attempting to regulate national roads are void for lack of LGU police power. The ordinance would be upheld in all respects because LGUs may regulate traffic safety on all roads within their jurisdiction to promote general welfare.
