Criminal negligence (quasi-offense)

In Jayson Ivler Y Aguilar vs. Hon. Maria Rowena Modesto-San Pedro, the Supreme Court sufficiently explained that the doctrine that reckless imprudence under Article 365 is a single quasi-offense by itself and not merely a means to commit other crimes such that conviction or acquittal of such quasi-offense bars subsequent prosecution for the same quasi-offense, regardless of its various resulting acts, undergirded this Court’s unbroken chain of jurisprudence on double jeopardy as applied to Article 365 starting with People v. Diaz, [94 Phil. 715 (1954)] decided in 1954.
