    Jay
    The petitioners Lily Raquiza, Haydee Tee Han Kee and Emma Link Infante were arrested and charged with espionage and collaboration with the enemy by the U.S. Army. They filed a petition with the court requesting that Lt. Col. L.J. Bradford and Capt. Inez L. Twindle of the CIC, U.S. Army, be directed to produce their bodies in court and show cause for their detention. However, the court ruled that it did not have jurisdiction over U.S. Army troops stationed in the Philippines with the agreement of the Philippine government during World War 2. The petitioners' recourse was to appeal to proper military authorities.

    FACTS AND ISSUE


    RAQUIZA VS. BRADFORD (75 Phil. 50; 1945)
    HELD:
    • No. The Commonwealth Government asked, and the United States
    Government agreed, that the United States Army come and be
    stationed in the Philippines, for the very realization of the
    overruling and vehement desire and dream of the Filipino to be
    freed from the shackles of Japanese tyranny. The grant of a free
    passage, therefore, implies a waiver of all jurisdiction over the
    troops during their passage, and permits the foreign general to use
    that discipline and to inflict those punishments which the
    government of this army may require.
    • On the other hand, petitioners may have recourse to proper
    military authorities.
