thanks for the reply legalavatar!

 

to answer your question, what i have is slippeddisk - a spine condition.

 

with that comes levels of the spine affected, in my case level L4-L5 -- damage from after surgery included L4-L5 PLUS L5-S1 -- clearly documented on hospital records as well as records i kept, MRI scans taken before the second surgery, as advised to be secured by the second doctor.

 

With this in conjuction with your advice, i would have a case. But getting any doctor to testify to this, including even the second physician, would pose a hurdle.

 

Hope to seek a firm that would actually go ahead and take this case on.

 

Would you say that im on the right track legalavatar?

 

uber thanks in advance!

 

 

 

 

Well taken...

If he acknowledges the child as his, like for example he signs as the father in the birth certificate, then the child is entitled to support.

 

Thank you for the answer.

 

Doc Pepper, may I just add a bit....with due respect Mr. Ambassador.

 

If he did not acknowledge, then you have to prove that he is the biological father.

 

This may be done through DNA tests, or other evidences that will show his paternity with respect to your child. Although this may be hard and expensive, hence my advice to you is try to talk with him (the father) first and convince him to sign the acknowledgment on the birth certificate.

 

Thank you for the answer.

 

What if the father is not willing to sign on the birth or baptismal certificate of the child, do I have other option aside from these two?

 

Will a notarized affidavit function as the same?

 

Thank you.

The aknowledgment is an affidavit. But some Civil Registrars might conclude a different notarized affidavit legally infirm as against the acknowledgment at the dorsal side of the Birth Certificate. Though if he will affirm and confirm the affidavit as duly executed by him at the Civil Registrar it will probably have the same effect.

If there is a pending case against a company by an ex-employee and the company closes before a decision is issued, what can the ex-employee do in case he wins in the case?

If the company is a single proprietorship go collect from the owner; same goes if it is a partnership, collect from the partners.

 

If it is a corporation, usually if they close they have a winding-up period or a period for liquidation wherein they collect their receivables and pay their obligations. Under the law you are first priority and should be first to be paid.

 

Hope I helped.

What's the role of admin? what are his powers? can he/she edit or disallow posts made by members or guests? the answer to this questions will determine the liability of admin if and when members or guests make "kagaguhan"---which causes iability to third person--- in here.

 

On my own point of view the provisions of our libel laws, as it is worded, include libelous remarks posted in the internet. Our jurisprudence however dont have any resent case on libel involving libelous remarks posted in the internet. if you read one inform me.

The best thing to do is avoid libelous remarks... be responsible... freedom of speech and press carries with it corrresponding responsibilities.

Good evening Sir Butsoy. I am not questioning your credibility, this is more on asking for more information. In other words, wala pa tyong existing cyber law? Sir, ask ko lang, bkit may napapanood ako sa news, kasama NBI, track down nila mga taong ginagawang black mail yung pag post ng nude picture sa for example, You Tube, illicit sites, etc. then eventually put in jail. May depensa ba yung accused dito using the said cyber law that still does not exist in our country?

Our company is based in Japan and we have a branch office here in the Philippines. The office here is registered but we need to change the registered company name as the company name of our head office has been changed. I think the first step is to go to SEC to apply for a change in our company name but I have no idea at this moment what are the legal documents i need to bring along. Can someone guide me through this?

 

Really appreciate if anyone can help.

[azayco]

japlog:

 

I am not aware of any regulation which addresses your concern. The SEC though may have some internal rules in this regard. It is therefore best to call them. You can talk to Atty. Sales, the assistant director of the Company Registration & Monitoring Department.

 

Offhand (and this is purely a guess), I would say that the requirements would be similar to an amendment of the articles of incorporation of a domestic corporation. The requirements are:

 

1. Board resolution or certification attesting to the change of name of the foreign parent corporation

 

2. Authenticated copy of the amended charter documents of the foreign parent company (with English translation if the original is in Japanese)

 

There is also a recent regulation on corporate names which requires branches of foreign corporations to append "Phils." or "Philippines" to their corporate names.

 

Good luck.

any query about legal problems...? wag kang mahiya.. free legal advise ni Butsoy...

I have a civil matter pending before the courts at the moment... my other half's case actually. Sucession issue... the question I have pertains to the fact that in the middle of the process the Judge whose jurisdiction the case fell, suddenly fell seriously ill... the dude had to get a bypass and has not been reporting to his sala for more than sixty (60) days now... what is the usual practice when the judge handling a particular case like this gets sick? We have a pending motion for him to reply to and it has almost been four months now and he has not been able to give a ruling on our pending motion... what kind of procedure is followed in cases like this... what options can we take as plaintiffs in the issue??? There is a denial of speedy trial here and its very annoying...

in the case of my cousin similar to yours, the man really has to sign the dorsal side of the birth certificate... he needs to acknowledge that the dude is his child....

I'm just new here. I'm glad I saw this thread. I havent read most of the in-between-posts on this thread so I don't know if my uestion was already asked (before). Since this is a dating site, hehehe, I think this is a great venue.

 

Question to any lawyer here: For example, me and one of the member here (we are both in a legal age already) had an agreement of casual dating (and sex, cyempre). Then, I got pregnant accidentally. Eventhough were not bound with anything since we are not legally or romantically linked, do I have the right to pursue some legal actions to the guy to suport the child? What are his rights too regarding the situation?

 

Because as what I know, eventhough the child would be an illegitimate child, he/she still has the rights for a child suport from her biological father right?

 

I'm not sure if it would fall into Family Code, am I right?

 

Thank you. :*

 

You can go after the father for support... Even though the child is illegitimate. Provided however the child is recognized by the father. How? By the father's acknowledgment that the child is his through signing in the birth cert. Or by making a public declaration that he acknowledges the child... i.e. through a public instrument. Or by constantly being with the child and acknowledging the child as his. The unpopular mode is through a private instrument... (such as a holographic will)

 

I in case he does not acknowledge the child... you can file a case in court for recognition... and include in the case a petition for support per lite dente. (support during a pending litigation)

 

NOTA BENE: Recognition must be during the lifetime of the father... (so that the child can enjoy the benefits of the legitime as an heir) hehehehehe...

Usually there is a pairing judge who will assist the absent judge on his active cases. However, if you really want to remove tha case from the present sala, you can file a motion to re-raffle the case to another sala, and hope that the judge there is faster in resolving his/her cases.

Sirs, Need your legal advise and this pertains to marital issues...

 

I have a girlfriend who is Chinese (pure) holding a Chinese passport and we are planning to get married next year. However, she insisted that she wants to have the wedding in Hkng instead in the Philippines. My questions are:

 

1. If we married in HK, does this means that I'm already a HKng citizen automatically or she is also a Filipina citizen? Do I or she have the right to get the benefits of both Phil and Hkng government in terms of jobs, security insurance, etc?

2. Am I considered Married in Phil even if I got married in Hkong? or is it possible to have dual wedding meaning another marriage to be done in Phil? Any legal implications?

3. What are legal reqts of getting married abroad and what is her reqt here in Phil if we agreed to get married here?

4. Can she own a property here even if we are not yet married? How about if we are already married in HKng, will it be considered here as proof for legal docs?

5. If gifted with a child and born in Hkng, is he given dual name? a chinese and Filipino name?

 

Sorry for the long post Sir but your legal advise will surely help on my decisions. Thanks in advance, Sir.
