Negligence is the failure to observe for the protection of the interests of another person that degree of care, precaution, and vigilance which the circumstances justly demand, whereby such other person suffers injury. Under Article 1173 of the Civil Code, it consists of the ''omission of that diligence which is required by the nature of the obligation and corresponds with the circumstances of the person, of the time and of the place.'' (Abrogar vs. Cosmos Bottling G.R. No. 164749 March 15, 2017)
