P.R. Laws Ap. tit. 34A, § II, Rule 179
Whenever a person is convicted of an offense, the trial court shall determine, on pronouncing sentence, whether the prison term imposed therein is to be served consecutively or concurrently with any other prison term or terms. If the court fails to state such determination, the term of imprisonment imposed shall be served concurrently with any other terms which the court may impose as part of the sentence, or with any other terms which may already have been imposed upon the defendant.
In cases where there is a plurality of applicable criminal code provisions or a combination of series of related criminal acts or continuous crime, the sentence shall be pronounced pursuant to the provisions of §§ 4706—4708 of Title 33, part of the Penal Code of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
