DC2022-11-0035, Annex C — Schedule of Penalties and Fines
Issued pursuant to DC2022-11-0035 §14 [DC2022-11-0035, Annex C, 2022-11]. This annex is the resolved source for the penalty table referenced in DC2020-06-0015 §14, which itself notes the table as “(as amended by DC2022-11-0035).”
Schedule
| Violation | 1st tier: PhP10,000–200,000 | 2nd tier: PhP201,000–500,000 | 3rd tier: PhP501,000–1,000,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selling of non-registered product | 1st Offense | ||
| Removal, defacing, altering, absence of Correct Energy Label of registered product | 1st Offense | 2nd Offense | 3rd Offense |
| Failing to provide accurate information or the provision of false or misleading energy information as required | 1st Offense | ||
| Refusal to submit to on-site inspection | 1st Offense | 2nd Offense | |
| Refusal to cooperate (drawing of product samples) during verification testing | 1st Offense | ||
| Non-submission of annual reportorial requirements | 1st Offense | 2nd Offense |
All penalties apply on a “per product model” basis [DC2022-11-0035, Annex C, 2022-11]. The imposition of administrative fines is without prejudice to criminal liability for the same violations under the EEC Act and EEC-IRR [DC2022-11-0035, §1.5, 2022-11].
Reading the table: the column headers are peso-amount tiers, not sequential offense-number columns. Only one violation (label removal/defacing/altering/absence) escalates across all three tiers on successive offenses. The other five violations impose their first (or in two cases, second) offense directly at whichever single tier the table assigns — two of them (selling non-registered products; providing false/misleading information) reach the highest tier on the very first offense, with no lower-tier penalty listed for that violation at all.
