What is Jurisdiction of Consuls in Philippine Law about?

The petitioner, an honorary consul of Uruguay, objected to the jurisdiction of the Court of First Instance of Manila to try him for falsification, claiming diplomatic immunity. The Supreme Court held that neither the US nor Philippine Constitutions grant it exclusive jurisdiction over cases involving consuls, and the jurisdiction of lower courts was not removed by the new constitutions.
