Q&A (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 63)

The Commissioner of Public Safety, the Provost Marshal General as head of the Constabulary Division of the Philippine Army, every Mayor of a chartered city, and every municipal president.

The Society was incorporated to enforce laws relating to cruelty to animals and could appoint agents with police powers to make arrests for violations of laws and ordinances enacted for preventing cruelty to animals and protecting animals.

Commonwealth Act No. 148 deprived the agents of their power to arrest persons who violated laws prohibiting cruelty to animals, correcting a defect in the previous legal framework.

They are tasked to watch, capture, and prosecute offenders against the laws enacted to prevent cruelty to animals.

It marks the official enactment as a legal instrument, indicating the time (November 12, 1936) and place (City of Manila) where the order was formalized; this helps in legal referencing and historical context.

The Constabulary Division of the Philippine Army, headed by the Provost Marshal General, and the local police forces under the authority of Mayors and Municipal Presidents.
