    People of the Philippines

    Vs
    Lol-Lo and Saraw
    SUMMARY:

    • A charge of Piracy was meted against Lol-Lo and


    Saraw, both Muslims from Mindanao
    • The crime was allegedly committed in the seas of
    present day Indonesia (then part of the Dutch East
    Indies)
    FACTS:
    • A group of Pirates sailing in an armada of vinta asked for help from a
    passenger boat ridden by Dutch subjects.
    • At first the pirates asked for food but later on sacked the boat’s possession
    and raped the women aboard. There was also an attempt to sink the said
    boat while the passengers were left there to die.
    • Two women were also held hostage and was violated for weeks.
    • Among the pirates who took part was Lol-Lo and Saraw who were arrested
    in the Philippines, they were charged with Piracy.
    Prosecution: Lol-Lo and Saraw’s
    Defense
    * Lol-Lo and Saraw should be  No Philippine Court has
    held liable for Piracy as jurisdiction over the accused
    defined, treated and its because the crime was not
    penalties provided for by the committed in the territory
    Codigo Penal.
    •Whether or not the Philippine
    Courts has jurisdiction over the case.
    •Whether or not the Codigo Penal
    (Penal Code) is still in force
    the Court of First Instance has jurisdiction of the
    case. Pirates are in law hostes humani generis.
    Piracy is a crime not against any particular state
    but against all mankind. It may be punished in the
    competent tribunal of any country where the
    offender may be found or into which he may be
    carried. The jurisdiction of piracy unlike all other
    crimes has no territorial limits. As it is against all so
    may it be punished by all. Nor does it matter that
    the crime was committed within the jurisdictional
    3-mile limit of a foreign state, "for those limits,
    though neutral to war, are not neutral to crimes."
    • The general rules of public law recognized and acted on by the
    United States relating to the effect of a transfer of territory from
    another State to the United States are well-known. The political
    law of the former sovereignty is necessarily changed. The
    municipal law in so far as it is consistent with the Constitution,
    the laws of the United States, or the characteristics and
    institutions of the government, remains in force. As a corollary
    to the main rules, laws subsisting at the time of transfer,
    designed to secure good order and peace in the community,
    which are strictly of a municipal character, continue until by
    direct action of the new government they are altered or
    repealed.
