Extraterritoriality – Under the flag state rule, the Philippines has

jurisdiction over hijacking of PAL airplane in an American territory since it

its registered in the Philippines but not over murder committed in vessel
registered in Panama while on high seas although it is owned by a Filipino.
Under the protective principle, the court has jurisdiction over forgery of
Philippine money committed in Taiwan whether by a Filipino or an alien but
not over forgery of US dollars committed therein. Under the
extraterritoriality rule, the court has jurisdiction over plunder, direct bribery
and falsification of document by a public officer in a Philippines consular
premises stationed in America but not corruption of public officer and
falsification of document committed by private individual as principal by
inducement. Under the universality principle, the court has jurisdiction over
piracy committed on high seas for being a universal crime but not over
murder qualified by the circumstance of taking advantage of the calamity
brought about by piracy on high seas. The 12-mile territorial water of
Taiwan or Sabah may be considered as high seas; hence, piracy
committed therein can be prosecuted in the Philippines (People vs. Lol-Lo
and Saraw, G.R. No. L-17958, February 27, 1922).
