    The Supreme Court reviewed Marvin Mercado's conviction for violating the Anti-Carnapping Act of 1972. The Court of Appeals had increased Mercado's penalty from 12 years and 1 day to 17 years and 4 months in prison to 30 years in prison. Mercado argued that since the increased penalty of 30 years was equivalent to reclusion perpetua, the Court of Appeals should have certified the case to the Supreme Court according to the Rules of Criminal Procedure.

    conviction, and arguing that the Court of Appeals having increased the penalty
    imposed by the court a quo to a prison term of seventeen (17) years and four (4)
