    THE UNITED STATES V. LOOK CHAW (ALIAS LUK CHIU)

    G.R. No. L-5887

    December 16, 1910

    Arellano C.J.,

    Facts:

    An inspection was conducted on a steamship which led to the discovery and confiscation of
    opium which was under the control of the defendants, among which the present defendant is the one
    who allegedly bought the opium from Hongkong to sell as a contraband in Mexico and Puerto de Vera
    Cruz. The steamship was of English nationality. Thus, they were charged in the Court of First Instance of
    Cebu. They were found guilty of the said court. Hence, the present appeal interposing the defense that
    our Courts do not have the jurisdiction over the case.

    Issue:

    Whether or not our courts have jurisdiction over the case.

    Ruling:

    Yes. Our courts have jurisdiction to try and decide over the case. Although, in general, the mere
    possession of a thing of prohibited use in the Philippines, aboard a foreign vessel in transit, in any of
    their ports, does not constitute a crime triable by the courts of the Philippines, on account of such vessel
    being considered as an extension of its own nationality, the same rule does not apply when the
    prohibited article is landed from the vessel upon Philippine soil, thus committing an open violation of
    the laws of the land, with respect to which, as it is a violation of the penal law in force at the place of the
    commission of the crime, only the court established in that said place itself had competent jurisdiction,
    in the absence of an agreement under an international treaty.
