Study Notes
US Personnel Crimes Against RP Security and Property
- The Philippines generally cannot refuse a US request for a waiver of jurisdiction over crimes committed by US personnel against RP security and property, except for crimes of national importance (heinous crimes under RA 7659, child abuse under RA 7610, and dangerous drugs cases under RA 9165).
- Certain individuals are exempt from jurisdiction, including sovereigns, heads of state, chargés d’affaires, ambassadors, ministers plenipotentiary, and ministers resident. Consuls and other commercial representatives do not have these immunities.
Principles of Public International Law and Jurisdiction
- Philippine penal laws generally apply only within its territory (terrestrial, fluvial, and aerial domains).
- Exceptions exist based on treaties or if the act is punishable under the Revised Penal Code (RPC), even outside Philippine territory.
Criminal Intent and Negligence
- General Criminal Intent: Intent to do wrong; presumed from the act itself.
- Specific Criminal Intent: Intent to commit a specific act; must be proven; not presumed.
- Culpa (Negligence): Lack of necessary precaution or skill to avoid injury or damage. Punishable due to the duty to be cautious and reflective in actions. Can be a mode of committing a crime (e.g., reckless imprudence resulting in homicide) or the crime itself (reckless imprudence).
- Distinguishing between intentional and culpable felonies impacts the burden of proof regarding intent.
Mala Prohibita
- Mala prohibita crimes are punishable even without criminal intent, because the prohibited act is harmful to public welfare.
Degree of Accomplishment of Crime
- The degree of crime accomplishment (attempted, frustrated, consummated) influences the punishment.
- Attempted: Evil intent is not accomplished due to external causes.
- Frustrated: Evil intent is not accomplished due to causes independent of the perpetrator’s will.
- Impossible: Evil intent cannot be accomplished because the means are inadequate or ineffective, or the act is inherently impossible.
Motive vs. Intent
- Intent: The immediate purpose of the act.
- Motive: The underlying reason for the act. Motive is relevant in specific circumstances, such as when evidence is circumstantial, identification is uncertain, or there are competing theories.
Rape
- Rape is consummated by any penetration, however slight.
- Attempted rape occurs in situations where penetration does not occur but other actions demonstrate intent (e.g., lifting the victim's skirt, mounting the victim).
Proximate Cause
- A person is criminally liable for injuries even if the wrongful act differs from what was initially intended, as long as there is a causal link. Creating a sense of immediate danger leading to injury makes one liable.
