What is Negligence Case: People vs. Santiago about?

Gregorio Santiago was found guilty of negligence after his automobile ran over and killed a 7-year-old boy, Porfirio Parondo, due to his failure to drive with vigilant care. Santiago appealed, arguing that the law under which he was prosecuted, Act 2886, was unconstitutional and that the court lacked jurisdiction. The court upheld the validity of Act 2886, stating that the Philippine Legislature has the authority to define and punish crimes under the Constitution of the United States.
