A Senate investigation is being sought into the public safety hazards posed by tangled and dangling overhead utility cables, commonly known as "spaghetti wires."

Senate Committee on Public Services Chairperson Senator Raffy Tulfo filed Senate Resolution Number 776, calling for a formal inquiry into electrocutions, road accidents, and injuries caused by poorly maintained power and telecommunications lines.

In his resolution, Tulfo cited several recent incidents—including fatal electrocutions and motorcycle crashes caused by low-hanging wires—emphasizing the urgent need to hold negligent utility companies accountable. The proposed probe aims to review existing safety standards, establish strict inspection mechanisms, and strengthen coordination among local government units, the MMDA, and concerned national agencies to compel the immediate removal and reorganization of hazardous overhead cables.
