Dear Noy,

 

Bandit and I are very disappointed that you did not present in your SONA any solutions to what you perceived as the worst state of the nation the country has ever been dumped into -- just your intentions -- to make us dream again.

 

I feel bad for Bandit because he was really hoping for it.

 

Don't worry about me, though. I never expected anything from you, anyway.

Dear Noy,

I feel you should institute a policy ensuring our citizens can learn to read and understand as it is obvious that some people are illiterate or worse unable to understand your speech thus proves that our education is sadly lacking somehow.

I feel bad for camiar because he can't seem to grasp the meaning of your speech.

I thought this is a "Dear Noynoy" forum? All posts should be addressed to Noynoy, di ba?

Good point

Dear Noynoy;

Go on and enjoy your task of attempting the rebuilding of this nation after the former president has stolen most of the money of the nation. I do hope you learn to ignore the very loud vocal minority that are still brown-nosing the former president who has fled before your speech can further show how much of a crook she is despite the illusions of others. I do hope however that it is true that you will also be presenting solutions to those problems.

I think the "karma" that people generally believe in is the "do good things and good things happen to you, do bad things and bad things happen to you" kind of karma... which is not what Buddhism actually teaches...

 

@lonely62699: Wikipedia lang po. Hehe.

What else is karma but that explanation?

Sa totoo lamg bro hindi ako naniniwala sa religion na ito. Ang pinaniniwalaan ko lang dito is yung concept ng KARMA. Although hindi nako nakapagsisimba at hindi kita sa actions ko,still CHRISTIAN pa din ako.

Dear Noy,

 

Please read this commentary:

 

Noynoy Aquino will unwrap his tales from the dark side today in a State of the Nation Address (Sona), supposedly detailing the horrors committed by Gloria during the twilight of her nine-year misrule.

 

The Sona will likely be a rehash of Noynoy’s inauguration speech spiced with “shockers” which are Gloria’s dark legacy to Malacañang.

 

Thus far, almost a month into the presidency, Noynoy had failed to give the nation even a hint on where his six-year administration is heading. What has been done thus far was for him and his propaganda team to come up with a plethora of promises is no different from his campaign pitches. His presidency, as it is turning out, appears to most a mere extension of his days in the campaign trail.

 

His Sona, even with the revelations he is expected to tell the nation, will not likely be of any help, again, in charting the direction of his administration.

 

The Palace said that the Sona would be a recounting of the true state of the nation less Gloria’s enchanted tales that Noynoy’s aides believe is a commendable path.

 

Many, however, have already heard his promises and his show of good intentions ad nauseum and many have been waiting for Noynoy to spell out where he expects to take the nation under his helm.

 

The Sona would be a perfect occasion for Noynoy to show his confidence in being a leader of a nation and to show Filipinos that he knows what to do as the president.

 

He had in the past and will give today the nation ways on how not to be a president again with Gloria as specimen. Filipinos are through with that, well, except his yellows who are also still in a campaign mode. But Noynoy should start showing how he intends to become a leader and a president of all the Filipinos, and not just of the yellows.

 

But lack of leadership has remained as evident in the way the Cabinet is being apportioned among the groups backing Noynoy with the many business interests that contributed to his presidential bid all properly represented in his government.

 

The delegation of authority, while extremely lacking during the term of power-hungry Gloria, seems to have been overdone during the first few days of Noynoy with him seemingly clueless on what is going on right under his nose.

 

For instance, Public Works and Highways Secretary Rogelio Singson has been announcing that he is taking over the helm of the Manila Water and Sewerage System, the water service regulator, and when asked by media about the supposed appointment, Noynoy confessed he was unaware of it. Singson was the former president of the moribund Maynilad Water Services Inc.

 

The Sona would also be among the few chances of Noynoy to directly talk to Congress which is a branch of government he is expected to have a hard time communicating with, due to the lack of numbers among Liberal Party (LP) members. While LP members in the House of Representatives have boasted to now being the dominant party, its force mainly is made up of alliances from other parties, including that of some Lakas-Kampi members who still owe allegiance to Gloria.

 

Noynoy might as well use the Sona to pitch for a compact of cooperation with members of both the Senate and the House to enable quick resolutions of what he terms as the many tasks being confronted by his administration.

 

Noynoy can make use of more for his administration through the Sona instead of adding another layer of promises to the list he had already given since his campaign days or to again count the ways Gloria made off with the National Treasury.

 

He had said that the Truth Commission will take care of Gloria’s excesses and it is enough for him to assure the people that all her misdeals will be looked into.

 

The nation knows Gloria left huge problems for the nation and Noynoy should already be enumerating the ways to resolve these. Filipinos are already familiar with the abuse done under the Gloria administration to express shock about these.

 

What would shock the nation more is if Noynoy would merely recount such horror tales without any solutions offered.

Let's face it, your beloved Gloria is probably the most hated person in the land now, and with what seems to be good reason. She may have been an effective president, but effective at what? Preserving her power base and promoting her supporters?

I didn't vote for Benigno 3, but give him at least the same benefit of the doubt instead of going on and on shall we?

Let's stop the games shall we? Go figure out what you want out of life and then do it. Stop whining like a child. Even more, stop getting me mixed up in your insane games.

Wow, that totally made no sense, care to explain how you could take 1+1 and end up with 37?

Going to Sagada is cheap. We were a group of four (including me) and spent only around 5k each! Yun na nga lang, we stayed at a cheap in (St. Joseph's Retreat House), shared rooms and hear this... no heated water. Grabe ang ginawwww. Don't forget to check out the Lemon Pie house which serves really yummy (but limited lemon pies). We befriended the owner and she guided us in going to the big falls and sumaguing cave and even served us pinikpikan for dinner!

Hi, hows the road going to sagada? di na ba rough road? how many hours from baguio? when is the best month to go there? Thanks in advance!

Good day,

 

Could you please provide format for an affidavit of no improvement on real property?

 

I've tried surfing but couldn't find this among the legal doc formats availble on the net.

 

Thanks.

Most city/municipal halls have a format you can follow.

sir, the property is still in my parents name. they haven't fully paid the property yet thus no transfer of names were made. just to clarify..so it won't be illegal to break the locks or break-in even if the belongings of the other party are still inside the house?

sir, i don't think the other party has received the notice as my parents just paid for the eviction fee and they were told that the other party will be given a 5 days notice before evicting them. i'm just worried that the other party might go into hiding that day to make it look that there's nobody in the house. i can't help worrying bout it since the other party have been giving my parents the run around and my parents don't deserved such treatment considering they're old already. the only fault of my parents was they have been too kind to the other party even when the check's were starting to bounce and my parents keeps giving him a chance hoping that he will be true to his word and at the same time avoid having to go to court. but things were unbearable for my parents already so they had no choice but to file a case against him. i just hope it will be over soon as this have drag on for a year already.

36 hours straight.

Do you like getting a foot spa?

hi there. i like to ask about eviction aka sheriff.

 

is it standard procedure after paying the necessary eviction fee, the court will give 5 days notice to the occupants of the house to move out otherwise they will be evicted forcibly?

 

what if the occupants of the house intentionally lock the house and go some place else but all their belongings are still inside the house para sabihin there's no one around that day, can the eviction group force their way inside the house? what will happen and what to do if the occupants intentionally leave the place lock with all their belongings still inside?

 

any info will be highly appreciated.

Thank you for the advice SmilingBandit...I might just negotiate with HO assoc. to at least lower my outstanding dues.

Hi, i would like to consult my situation. i have a 150 sq. m lot property in a subdivision in Cavite that i acquired in 1994, i have w/ me the Land Title and has been up to date in paying the real property tax. i wasn’t able to built a house on that lot since i settled in Leyte and had my house built there. last 2008, i asked my sister-in-law to visit and check my property, according to her, one of the homeowner’s assoc. officer of the subdivision inform her that i have an outstanding dues (P50K plus) that i have to pay to the homeowner’s assoc., they said it was the accumulated homeowner’s monthly dues that i haven’t paid since i acquired the property. i refused to pay the aforementioned dues since i feel its unfair for me to be charged with a monthly HO dues coz i don’t have a house there and doesn’t get the benefits of a homeowner. my questions...What is the legal consequences of mine not paying the HO monthly dues they are charging me? Am i really obliged to pay the monthly HO dues even if i don’t have a house there yet? TIA.

Thanks,

 

I asked the father to let each child sign on the DoAS. But he said that some of his children are in the provinces and will be very inconvenient for them to come to Manila.

 

I guess the best solution to ease my misgivings is to have everyone (Father + Children + Spouses of children) to sign on the Deed of absolute sale.

 

Any more words of advice will be greatly appreciated...

 

Thanks again

What is up with KFC and their portion sizing? In the KFCs in the US, the parts that you find are breast, thigh, drumsticks, and wings (don't ask me why individual wings are considered a serving considering how little meat there is in the darned things). However KFC Philippines includes ribs (the bony section at the back of the breasts) and back (literally the ass and lower back of the chicken) which have almost no meat.

Thanks a lot!

 

I'm looking to purchase a house & lot in QC, The TCT bears the name of the father and his 4 children(all of which are married. the mother died and they went thru extra judicial partition process and got a new title.

 

So instead of drafting a DOS where everyone (father+ 4 children + 4 spouses)signs on the dotted line, the father wants to get a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) from his children authorizing him to sell the property. This SPA will have all the children signed and not separate SPAs for each child.

 

pls note that i have not met with any of the children, just the father. but the certified true copy from registrar of deeds checked out ok.

 

So in the DOS, instead of putting all the names of father and children as SELLER. the father alone becomes the seller.

 

My questions are:

 

1, Is it legal to have so many people sign a SPA?

2, Is it ok for me to ask for a copy of the SPA?

3, Is there a way where i verify the authencity of the SPA?

 

The thing i want to avoid most is that sometime in the future, one of the children might declared that he did not sign the SPA (his signature is forged) and that he will contest the sale of the property.

 

How can i avoid problems like this? thanks

1. It is legal for so many people to sign the SPA.

2. You have a legal right to ask for an original copy of the SPA.

3. You deal with the SPA at your own risk. It is up to you whether or not to accept the SPA.

 

On another note, even with an SPA, all the names of the children will still appear on the DOS. What will no longer appear are the signatures of the children in the SPA. Again, accepting the SPA is at your own risk and you will have to make your own decision whether to take that risk or not.

Thanks for quick answer.

 

1, Is it required to have the names of all the sellers (every name that appears in the TCT)to also appear in the DOS?

2, Will i have trouble with the Registrar of Deeds if only the name of the father appears in the DOS? the seller requested that only name of father(person given the authority to sell) will appear in the DOS.

3, Once a transaction is done and a new TCT is issued in the buyer's name. Can it still be undone if one of the children comes out to contest it?

 

Thanks again

1. Yes, then attach the SPA to the DoAS (Deed of Absolute Sale as opposed to Deed of Sale), with the father signing for each of the children. Make sure that the SPA is notarized to minimize your legal responsibility.

2. The RD can be fairly strict, again that depends on how much greasing you do.

3. Any and all of the children can contest it and tie up the property for decades (considering the local justice system) in court before the issue is decided, one way or the other.

Question: Why not just have each child sign the DoAS?

I noticed that the previous thread was chock-full of spam posts, since it would take too long to remove and edit the s@%t, I made this new thread. Any poster going OT (defined as not about Islam, pro or anti) will be taking a 2 day vacation for the first offense and doubling after that.

Please note that any form of personal attacks or flaming is also verbotten.

This is a new thread, don't make it a dirty one.

Its not you, its me.

Its not that I don't love you, but I need space.

Of course I'll respect you in the morning.

I love you, I just need to figure out where I am right now.

Why don't you go out with your friends and have fun.

I'll try to call you tomorrow

If the name on her current Passport still indicates her former husband's surname. Will it be a problem (with the Consul) if she will state single in the SPA?

What year did she purchase the property and what year did she get married. If she purchased the property before she got married, then there should be no issue about getting any agreement to sell from the husband. However, it'd be best to say married if her passport has a different surname from the property.

Wait ... the property in question is still under the developer's name?

and sorry no pm's po, post nyo na lang po lahat dito para magbenefit tayong lahat.

 

maraming salamat.

 

ok bang developer ang Century Properties? as far as I know AYALA LAND/ AVIDA, DMCI, Robinson ang mga ok na builder. i don't know kung ok rin ang SM, just wanna make sure na ang pera ko nasa good hands.

Ayala, Rockwell, SMDC, and DCMI are among the better developers in the market now.

i recently bought a small condo unit at P500K+ 3 years ago. they said the value of my unit is now P700k+ and every year it will increase. my question is: is there a time that my condo unit will start depreciate? 25 years? 30 years? thanks!

LOL, that's fairly unique. In truth any improvements begin to depreciate as soon as it is constructed. However, depreciation may or may not affect the market value of a property. As for your condo unit, in all likelihood you probably bought it during a preselling deal? When construction has finished, often the value increases, except that there is currently a glut in condominium construction which may mean that while the book value has increased, the market value may not have. Its hard to generalize of course, but without more details, answering your question is difficult.
