⚖️ BAR QUESTION EXERCISE NO. 17 ⚖️

Police Officer 1 Jun Dragon (PO1 Dragon) saw Don violating a traffic rule by driving in the opposite direction on a one-way street. When PO1 Dragon attempted to stop Don, the latter hurriedly drove away but later fell from his motorcycle.

Don stood up, he reached for his waist, which prompted PO1 Dragon to grab him while the other police officers pointed their guns at Don. The police officers restrained and frisked Don, and in the course thereof, PO1 Dragon found an unlicensed fi***rm. Don was then arrested and charged with illegal possession of fi***rm. The prosecution contended that the fi***rm is admissible in court because it was found during a search incidental to a lawful arrest.

May the fi***rm be admitted in evidence against Don? Explain.

Babes and Nitoy were charged with robbery with homicide, and destructive arson. When arraigned, Nitoy pleaded not guilty. The prosecution sought to discharge Nitoy to become a state witness. His intended testimony shows that he and Babes were househelpers of the Kim family. While the Kim family was on vacation, the house was left with their relative, Mr. Park. One evening, Nitoy went to the dining room and saw Babes holding a bloodstained knife, while Mr. Park was lying on the floor, bloodied and lifeless. He exclaimed to Babes, "You killed him!" Upon Babes's order, Nitoy left before the former could set the house on fire to hide the crime.

May Nitoy qualify as a state witness? Explain.

⚖️ BAR QUESTION EXERCISE NO. 15 ⚖️

To raise capital for his real estate business, Alfie borrowed money from Deng in the total amount of PHP 6 million, for which he issued six (6) postdated checks worth PHP 1 million each as payment. Upon presentment for payment, the checks were dishonored. Alfie issued another six (6) postdated checks each for the same amounts as replacement, which unfortunately likewise bounced, and were never paid.

Deng sued Alfie before the Regional Trial Court for collection of sum of money, which was ruled in her favor in a Decision that eventually became final and executory. Subsequently, Deng filed a complaint for violation of the Anti-Bouncing Checks Law (Batas Pambansa Blg. 22) before the Municipal Trial Court (MTC), which acquitted Alfie and declared that the "facts from which civil liability may arise did not exist."

Alfie opposed all attempts by the sheriff to execute the money judgment, citing the MTC's ruling that he was not civilly liable for the six (6) postdated checks. Is Alfie correct? Explain.

⚖️ BAR QUESTION EXERCISE NO. 14 ⚖️

1. Anit filed a case for carnapping and estafa against Momo. After the prosecution presented its evidence, Momo filed a demurrer to evidence which the trial court granted, leading to the dismissal of the case. Dissatisfied with the ruling, Anit filed a Petition for Certiorari under Rule 65 of the Rules of Court before the Court of Appeals (CA) without first filing a Motion for Reconsideration and without obtaining the conformity of the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG). Momo then filed a Comment/Opposition to the Petition, citing lack of authority or imprimatur from the OSG.

Subsequently, the CA issued a Resolution dismissing the Petition on the ground that Anit failed to serve a copy of the petition to Momo at her address, resulting in the court's failure to acquire jurisdiction over Momo's person under Rule 46, Section 4 of the Rules of Court.

Did the CA acquire jurisdiction over the person of Momo? Explain.
