Grave Scandal (1996)
Pia, a bold actress living on top floor of a plush
condominium in Makati City sunbathed naked at its
penthouse every Sunday morning. She was unaware that
the business executives holding office at the adjoining tall
buildings reported to office every Sunday morning and, with
the use of powerful binoculars, kept on gazing at her while
she sunbathed. Eventually, her sunbathing became the talk
of the town. 1) What crime, if any, did Pia commit? Explain,
2) What crime, if any, did the business executives commit?
Explain.
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
1) Pia did not commit a crime, the felony closest to making
Pia criminally liable is Grave Scandal, but then such act is
not to be considered as highly scandalous and offensive
against decency and good customs. In the first place, it was
not done in a public place and within public knowledge or
view. As a matter of fact it was discovered by the executives
accidentally and they have to use binoculars to have public
and full view of Pia sunbathing in the nude.
2) The business executives did not commit any crime. Their
acts could not be acts of lasciviousness [as there was no
overt lustful act), or slander, as the eventual talk of the
town, resulting from her sunbathing, is not directly imputed
to the business executives, and besides such topic is not
intended to defame or put Pia to ridicule.

What is a mendicant?
People vs. Padan
This is a case about a live show done in Tondo.
HELD: SC said that an actual exhibition of sexual act can
have no redeeming feature- no room for art. Therefore, it
is a clear and unmitigated obscenity. The exhibition was an
offense to public morals.
