Question

Subject: Choice of Law, Doctrine of Renvoi, Doctrine of Processual Presumption

Alex, a resident of the Philippines, got into a car accident while on vacation in the United States. The accident caused significant damage to the other party's car, and the driver of the other car, Ben, suffered injuries and incurred medical expenses.

Ben, a resident of the United States, decides to file a lawsuit against Alex in a Philippine court for damages. The main issue in the case is determining the applicable law to govern the claim.

Based on the doctrine of lex loci delicti, which governs choice of law in tort cases, the question arises - should Philippine law or United States law be applied to the case?
