MOC: Source Document Digests
Map of Content for the digest layer — one structured summary per source
document, produced by the chain raw/ (verbatim extraction) → source/
(cleaned copy) → wiki/digest/. A digest is source-anchored: it reports what a
single document says and cites back to it. It is not analysis, and it is not the
authoritative text — for binding wording, follow a digest’s provenance footer
back to its cleaned source.
How to use this page
Each entry below states what its MOC covers. Compare the question against every
entry and open all whose scope materially overlaps — most real questions cross
document types. A feed-in-tariff question, for example, touches the RE Act
(laws), the FIT rules and rate resolutions (regulations), and the NREP (planning
documents) at once, so do not stop at the first match. When the question is
about a concept discussed across many documents rather than the text of one,
leave this layer for wiki/pages/ (concepts, entities, programs) — the digest
layer points only to documents.
Document types
- MOC: Laws (Republic Acts) — Republic Acts. The primary legislation that creates the sector’s agencies, defines its market structure, and grants the mandates every lower issuance implements: DOE Act, EPIRA, RE Act, EVIDA, the nuclear-safety and natural-gas acts. Start here when the question is what the statute itself requires, or what the legal basis for a body or mechanism is.
- MOC: Executive Orders — Presidential issuances. Policy the President sets between statutes: creating inter-agency bodies and task forces, adopting national positions on nuclear and offshore wind, setting tariff and fiscal measures, and granting the recurring IPP-BOT real-property-tax condonation. Start here for institutional creation, national positions, and one-off relief.
- MOC: Regulations — DOE department circulars, agency orders, and IRRs. The operational detail that turns a law or EO into eligibility rules, rates, reporting duties, and deadlines; usually the layer that actually answers “what must a project do?”. Start here for implementing rules, RE support and obligation, the power market, off-grid electrification, demand-side standards, and downstream fuels.
- MOC: Philippine Energy Planning Documents — Section digests of the DOE’s plans. The DOE’s roadmaps — PEP, PDP, NREP — carrying targets, scenarios, and capacity build-out to 2050. Start here for a projected or target number rather than a legal requirement.
Two of the four take an extra hop. MOC: Laws (Republic Acts) and MOC: Executive Orders link straight to a digest. MOC: Regulations is an index page: it points to a section map, and that page carries the individual circulars. MOC: Philippine Energy Planning Documents does the same for a different reason — each plan is digested per section rather than once per document, so it points to a plan MOC and that page points to the section digest.
This page enumerates document types, never individual digests — deciding which specific document you need is the child MOCs’ job.
