Explain why yes or no and cite the basis. 1.Article 1763 of the Civil Code states that: A common carrier is responsible for injuries suffered by a passenger on account of the willful acts or negligence of other passengers or of strangers, if the common carrier’s employees through the exercise of the diligence of a good father of a family could have prevented or stopped the act or omission. Based on the said Article, if an Adult Passenger (30 years old) boarded a Bus playing with a ball pen, which the Driver and Conductor is fully aware as it can be seen in plain sight but did not bother to confiscate it, will the Bus Company be liable in case the Adult Passenger injured and/or killed another passenger?
