I think it's still possible to make a legal contract, depending on how you word it. Since you're helping her get an education it would look good for you, just make sure there's nothing in the contract that will make it appear that you have an ulterior and malicious motive.

 

Regarding the stipulation against working, you can state it in general terms like "in return for the free education she is given, she will not do anything to interrupt or distract from her education including ....". Same with pregnancy, the contract can state that she will not do anything illegal, immoral, or anything that will bring you shame which of course includes getting pregnant.

 

dear GM-master-lawyers,

 

let's say i want to help a friend (ok, she's an MPA) by financing her schooling.

is it possible to put her on contract stating she cannot work for the duration of her schooling?

how about other stipulations? like she cannot do freelance work, get pregnant, etc.?

 

asked a lady friend/lawyer and said this will not hold water daw.

can i get a second opinion, pls?

 

many thanks...

thanks for the quick reply, saer.

 

actually, sleeping with her is the least of my concerns.

i could always get that somewhere else.

 

the situation i would like to avoid is:

tinutulungan mo na ngang magbagong-buhay yung tao, eh, lolokohin ka pa.

 

if she's really serious about turning over a new leaf,

then she shouldn't have problems agreeing to such a "scholarship contract."

 

but, if she balks, dapat magduda na ko niyan.

 

Putting your agreement into writing will be benefitial to her not to you. You are the one with the obligation to spend for her schooling in this agreement. If the agreement is not in writing you can always quit supporting her, if she does not comply with your arrangements. If it is in writing and you feel she is not complying with the agreement and you quit paying for her schooling and allowance, she may be able to hire the services of a lawyer to compel you to comply with the contract by saying she is not in violation of any provision.

My mom leases out residential units. One of her tenants vacated the unit he was renting in the middle of the night without paying his rent which is a big amount. Is there a practical and legal way she can find out where he lives so that we can at least attempt to collect his balance? Thanks in advance.

Criminal ang RIRI... and

it depends on the injury

physical injury has three degrees.. slight (hospitalized/ incapacitated from work-9 days) , less serious (9+-30) and serious (30+.)

so depende sa gravity ang prison term and/or fine.

Legality aside, you can take out the girl from an MP, but you cannot always take out the MP from the girl. Don't expect too much, I speak from experience if that is worth anything. Anyway, goodluck, make sure you have a full load of patience and understanding, and I salute you for your intentions.

question lang po regarding corporate law, can a foreigner hold a very high position in a corporation let say president or corporate secretary? as far as i know they ( the foreigner can not have a higher share of stock against a filipino partner.

 

2. does close bank account consider a estafa? let say he issue a check and it bounce, tapos i demand him to change the check but he refuse. can i use the bounce check to sue him?

 

3. correct me if am wrong, di ba ang newly opened business is immune from B.I.R. auditing for 3 years ata?

 

hope masagot ng magagaling natin corporate lawyer. tnx

I think you are confusing shareholders from corporate officers.

foreigners can be shareholders but not more than 40%. foreigners can be president or any officer just as long as they have working permits from the DOLE.

Hi there,

 

With regards to your tenants, the court case has nothing to do with your lease contract so they are still required to pay the rent. Your lease contract remains valid, hence, their obligation to pay the rent also remains valid and binding.

 

 

Thank you sir, very much for the enlightenment. Last question, there's another problem expired na yung lease contract and it was never renewed, they refused to sign the renewal, after the tenants learned about the case.

 

Can we still impose the rent?

 

Thanks again in advance.

at last something new on MTC!! :mtc: hehe.. here's my question; How much money does it cost to change a name? is it per letter? per word?

[rocco69]

Yes, they are benefitting from the property so they have to pay.

 

Kaya lang, from the look of things, kahit i-impose nyo, di pa rin magbabayuad yan, kaya be prepared to go to court to file an ejectment case against your tenant. kapag di kayo magkasundo, kakailanganin nyong ireklamo yan sa barangay, after which demand letter to vacate.

kung first name ang ipapabago mo, di mo na kailangan pumunta sa korte, di mo na rin kailangan ng abugado. ito ay sa Civil Registrar lamang. P3,000 ang bayad sa Civil Registrar (may OR ito), tapos ito ay kailangan ding i-publish sa isang diyaryo once a week for 2 consecutive weeks kaya kailangan mo ring gastusan ito.

 

kung apelyido ang ipapabago mo, at ito ay dahil may mali lang sa spelling, sa Civil Registrar din lang ito. pero kung talagang malayo ang tamang apelyido dun sa nakasulat sa birth certificate, kailangan sa korte na ito. Ang gastos ay hindi per letter o per word. ito ay per abugado he he he (depende ito sa sisingilin ng abugadong makukuha mo).

3. If Mr. Chua an accussed could not be served the warrant for intended for him (e.g. could not locate), how long will it take before he is declared a fugitive of the law?

 

1. No. They cannot. As long as it is the house of Mr. Chua, anybody there can receive the summon. If the househelps and relatives decline to receive, they will just put it in the mailbox.

 

2. No. Same reason as above.

 

3. If warrant is issued, he can be arrested anytime, anywhere. He can be arrested even if the warrant is NOT with the arresting officer. Fugitive status starts the moment the warrant is issued.
