What is Morigo v. People: Bigamy Case Review about?

1) Lucio Morigo was convicted of bigamy for marrying Maria after his marriage to Lucia. However, Lucia had obtained a divorce in Canada. 2) The Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction, finding that the Canadian divorce was not valid in the Philippines. A foreign divorce decree cannot be used as a defense in a bigamy case. 3) Lucio argues he lacked criminal intent, as he believed in good faith that his marriage to Lucia was void due to the divorce. However, the Court of Appeals upheld the conviction.
