After disposing of his last opponent in only two rounds in Las Vegas, the renowned boxer Sonny Bachao arrived at the NAIA met by thousands of hero-worshipping fans and hundreds of media photographers. The following day, a colored photograph of Sonny wearing a black polo short embroidered with the 2-inch Lacoste crocodile logo appeared on the front page of every Philippine newspaper.

Lacoste International, the French firm that manufactures Lacoste apparel and owns the Lacoste trademark, decided to cash in on the universal popularity of the boxing icon. It reprinted the photographs, with the permission of the newspaper publishers, and went on a world-wide blitz of print commercials in which Sonny is shown wearing a Lacoste shirt alongside the phrase "Sonny Bachao just loves Lacoste".

When Sonny sees the Lacoste advertisements, he hires you as a lawyer and asks you to sue Lacoste International before a Philippine court:

a. For trademark infringement in the Philippines because Lacoste International used his image without his permission.

b. For copyright infringement because of the unauthorized use of the published photographs.

c. For injunction in order to stop Lacoste International from featuring him in their commercials.

Will these actions prosper?

Can Lacoste International validly invoke the defense that it is not a Philippine company and, therefore, Philippine courts have no jurisdiction? Explain.
