Balikan ko nga itong original na tanong mo....

 

since hindi na madetect ng computer mo itong bagong hard disk... tingin ko hindi ito uubra sa gusto mong gawin... first step pa lang kasi hindi na umubra eh...

 

oorrrrrr... baka naman nadedetect ng BIOS pero hindi lang makapag boot???

 

sagot 1: pag hindi madetect ng bios ang hard disk... definitely hindi ito magagamit. possibility nyan ay luma ang computer mo (dipa kilala ang setting ng bagong hard disk, capacity).

 

sagot 2: pag nadedetect ng bios pero hindi makuha ang tamang capacity, kelangan mo gumamit ng disk manager bago mag install ng OS.

 

sagot 3: pag nadedetect ng bios at nai installan ng OS pero hindi makapagboot, tignan mo yung bios setting ng hard disk baka hindi supported ng motherboard mo yung type ng hard disk. paglaruan mo yung setting na may "NORMAL", "LARGE" "LBA", etc... pasensya ka na nakalimutan ko na tawag dito... hehehe

 

sagot 4: pag mali ang jumper setting mo sa hard disks, either hindi ito tutuloy mag boot dahil walang hard disk na madetect ang computer mo. ang jumper setting mo dapat ay 1. primary hard disk (master or stand alone - boot disk), 2. secondary (slave).

 

formatted man o hindi ang hard disk ay dapat nadedetect pa din ng bios... kaya pag hindi na madetect ng bios ang hard disk mo... itapon mo na lang... wag na pag aksayahan ng panahon... mura na lang hard disk eh... hehehe

 

sana meron tumama sa mga sagot ko...

 

cheers!

Hi, i need some advice. in a banking scenario wherein deceased accounts are involved, are the subsequent interests in the account of the deceased, after his/her death, still payable to the heirs?

[crabman]

What law firm would you like to work for? Do we have any MTC members working in these firms?

 

Sycip?

Villaraza?

Romulo Mabanta?

Quisumbing Torres?

ACCRA?

Picazo?

Castillo Laman?

 

Survey lang

[fauxhead]

Yes, mapupunta dapat sa heirs yun.

 

Under Art. 777 of the Civil Code, "the rights to the succession are transmitted from the moment of death of the decedent."

 

In relation to this, Art 781 states that " the inheritance of a person includes not only the property and transmissible rights and obligations existing at the time of his death, but also those which have accrued thereto since the opening of the succession."

He is, of course, right.

Awww shooot, I was about to comment on this when the message was edited. Anyway, from a banker's viewpoint, whoever is entitled to the account also gets the accrued interest. Prescription? For bank accounts there is escheat proceedings if the account has remained dormant, otherwise, the bank will just wait for the proper documents to be presented by the heirs.

Without divulging the firm I presently work for, allow me to comment on your query. The comments below are based not only on experience and general perception in the legal profession but also on legal journals/magazines ranking and critiquing the quality of practice of the said firms.

 

Sycip Salazar Hernandez and Gatmaitan is the largest full-service law firm in the country. It has offices in Subic, Cebu and Davao. It is considered one of the top corporate law firms in the country. Its litigation work is also well-regarded.

 

Romulo Mabanta is among the top 3 in corporate practice which covers banking, finance, special projects etc. Sycip and ACCRA make up the triumviate. If Im not mistaken, its office in Hongkong (?) was recently raided presumably upon the request or prompting of the Arroyo government. Yung Romulo kasi is the head of the Makati Busines Club which, as we all know, joined the clamor for GMA's resignation last year.

 

ACCRA, aside from being a topnotch corporate firm, has been the acknowledged leader in litigation practice for quite some time now. It also has an extensive and well-respected intellectual property (IP) practice. It has offices in Cebu and Davao.

 

Picazo, Buyco, Tan, Fider & Santos (?) is known only for its corporate practice. It is not that well-known in litigation.

 

Villaraza and Angangco (V & A) is known as the Firm not because it is the best ( it is not) but because of its close ties to Malacanang. If ACCRA has a topnotch practice in IP and litigation, then V & A is a notch or two below.

 

Castillo Laman Tan Pantaleon and San Jose (CLTPSJ) is also a well-respected corporate firm, just ranked below the big boys Sycip, ACCRA and Romulo. However, its litigation practice pales in comparison and recently suffered quite a blow with the pull-out by Pepsi of all its "349" cases. CLTPSJ has never been quite the same after the breakaway of its lawyers to form new partnerships, namely, the firms now known as Poblador Bautista & Reyes and Blanco Esguerra Law Offices (BLES).

 

Since Poblador Bautista & Reyes has been mentioned, I might as well talk about it. Poblador Bautista & Reyes has gone along way since its breakaway from CLTPSJ to emerge as among the top 3 in litigation practice. It is also considered as among the leading firms in IP enforcement. On the other hand, BLES Law is relatively new and does not deserve to be mentioned along with the big boys.

 

As for Quisumbing Torres, it is the best law firm... in Taguig. Its office is located at the Fort, Taguig kasi, hehe. It is perhaps the most expensive law firm in the country since it charges its clients in dollars for its hourly rates. It is not well-known for either corpo or lit. Its just a saucy law firm devoid of substance, hehe.

 

As for your question, the choice of a law firm to work for is largely dependent on the kind of legal practice one wants to pursue. If its corpo, banking and finance and the like, then Sycip, ACCRA and Romulo are the obvious choices. If its litigation or IP, then ACCRA or Poblador should be it. Sycip and Romulo are also good at lit. The three (ACCRA, Sycip, Romulo) are perhaps the best all-around choices.

That is not to say though that the best law firms also provide the best work environments. Sycip, for one, is perennially beset with firm politics. Marami nagreresign every year.

 

If the salary is your primary consideration, you'd be surprised to know that the top 3 firms mentioned above are not necessarily the best employers salary-wise.

 

That's it.

 

Pardon me for any typo/grammatical errors since I do not have enough time to proofread.

i am not working in any of them, and i dont intend to, even if i am invited to be part of the firm.

 

what they can do, any lawyer can

[agentjackbauer]

Jopoc's comment is true as a general rule. A solo practitioner can most certainly do the legal work performed by the country's big law firms. However, in reality, solo practitioners are, by far, not exposed to the huge cases handled by the said firms primarily because such cases require manpower. Special projects for instance involving the merger of banks and other corporations are more often than not handled only by the big firms although individual lawyers who have acquired considerable experience on the matter may be hired as consultants. The same manpower requirement is true for huge-scale IP enforcement involving search and seizure operations against numerous establishments. Thus, the end result is a perpetuation of the expertise and monopoly of huge or middle-sized firms with regard to legal work concerned. In sum, and as a general rule, working in a law firm mentioned above will expose a new lawyer to opportunities not otherwise available to a lawyer working alone or for a corporation. The advantage of a new lawyer working as a solo practitioner or in a small law firm is that he will most likely be exposed to the nitty-gritty of litigation work at a faster rate than his colleague working for a huge firm. Dahil nga solo o maliit na law firm ang pinapasukan, mas natuto agad ng trial work kasi nga walang choice coz wala ng ibang gagawa. Large or middle-sized firms have a tendency to "baby" new lawyers when it comes to actual litigation or trial work. Kaya if you compare a one-year lawyer working for Sycip to a one-year solo practitioner, mas maraming alam sa trial work yung solo practitioner.This advantage, however, is somewhat tempered by the fact that the written work (pleadings) of the lawyer working for any of the firms mentioned above is generally better than those of the solo practitioner.

in that case, i believe the dswd can takeover, but i think the guardian or the nearest of kin has to do that (turn-over)  boys town or girls town bagsak nyan.

As far as I know all those big shot law firms do their hiring by invitation. As you can surmise I didn't rate an invitation. Whaddahell, I'm now in marketing, sour grapes and all.

lets say the scenario is this. 1997, client died. account was put on hold. 2006, heirs with complete documents claim the money from the bank. are they entitled to the interest earned from 1997-2006?
