  1. Good morning to MTCs Legal minds!

     

    Please help me on my predicament. Kindly spend some time in reading the events that happened. I tried to present this as clear and simple as possible(apologies if still not clear). I hope to get your thoughts and advice.

     

     

    Chronology of events:

     

    1. Around 2005:

    -- Condo was purchased at pre-selling.

    -- Property is scheduled to be completed by 2008.

    -- Contract stipulates the monthly payments until completion and the LUMP SUM amount to be settled upon TURN-OVER. This mentioned that interest charge(interest rates not defined) will be added if balance is not settled upon Turn-over.

     

    2. Early 2008

    -- Scheduled completion date was not met.

     

    3. Late 2008

    -- Property was ready for viewing.(but not liveable)

    -- Acceptance agreement was signed as were told that this is only for the building contractors to say that they have finished their jobs. Acceptance agreement does not mention anything about settling the LUMPSUM payments, interest rates if Lumpsum is not settled, amounts of interest.

    -- FYI: If we know that interest payments will be made if LUMPSUM is not settled immediately then of course we will not sign the acceptance agreement until we have the money for the LUMPSUM.

     

    4. Late 2010

    -- As the property is not in a liveable state i.e. our property is on the lower floors but construction are on-going on upper floors thus health and safety is compromised. We waited for a few more years.

    -- We are trying to settle the full LUMPSUM amount by this time.

    -- We were told that we have to pay late payments based on the interest rates they specified.

     

    QUESTIONS:

    1. Is the collection of late payment allowed, considering that:

    a. Contract states that interest will start upon TURN-OVER of property. Since keys are still with them then no TURN-OVER has happened yet.

    b. The acceptance agreement does not mention anythign about the process of TURNOVER and didn't even mention any word "TURNOVER" in the agreement. This is misleading and a bit malicious as it seems this was done deliberately.

    c. The Contract nor the acceptance agreeement does not mention anything about how interest rates will be computed.

    d. Since acceptance agreement was signed in 2008, there was no letter or reminder sent regarding the incurring penalties.

    2. After a few email exchanges with them, they are still adamant on adding late penalties, how should I deal with this matter?

     

    3. Are there any government agencies (DTI?) who can help and mediate on this matter?

     

    To everybody and specially my fellow 'Bandit', (what a coincidence :) ). My advance thanks for sparing your time and sharing your thoughts.

     

    Thank you very much in advance!

     

  2. circa 91-96...

     

    tuition ko e around 4K-4.5K lang.. fixed yon based on the year I entered the school ( MIT ).. laking tulong sa mga estudyante lalo na yung mga deserving na kapos sa financial..

     

    sarap nito i got a scholarship, around 8K ang bigay per sem may allowance pa monthly.. plus allowance pa sa magulang.. laking tulong pang-gimmick at date basta aral lang ng konti..

     

    MY WHOLEHEARTED THANKS!

  3. based on experience, this is dictated by the culture of the company.. there are companies who promote based on performance.. some on seniority... but of course, it all depends on the politics involved..

     

    i prefer not to get promoted to be honest just as long as i get yearly increases.. once you get promoted, the amount of s**t you deal with increases tremendously..

     

     

    I agree! It really depends on the culture and structure of the company. Kung lahat kayo magagaling e di naman pwede kayo lahat maging manager. Siguro you'll be better rewarded but not promoted. Btw, seniority also connotes to business knowledge, pwedeng yun ang maging basis.

     

    Just my thoughts...

  4. to eheads,

     

    thanks for the memories... you're a big part of my college life.. sa inuman, sa gimiks, sa ligawan, sa date, school reviews, school projects..

     

    salamat mga "Pare ko"

  5. i haven't tried either, pero it seems okay naman.. imagine the itas and mangyans still wearing them now.. hehehe!

     

    but i think it would be fun to wear the proper thongs on special occassions rin, pang-surprise din sa partner mo..
