Section 16
SEC. 16. The municipal council of Romblon, after hearing the grantee, shall have the power with the approval of the Secretary of Commerce and Communications, to declare the forfeiture of this franchise for failure to comply with any of the terms and conditions thereof, unless such failure shall have been directly and primarily caused by the act of God, the public enemy, or force majeure. Against such declaration of forfeiture the grantee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for such relief as to it may seem proper, but if no such application is made within sixty days after the forfeiture has been approved by the Secretary of Commerce and Communications, the right to apply to the courts shall be considered waived.
