thanks sa reply. i just wish something good will come out of this.

 

But if it would make any difference i would just like to add something.

 

If 100% QA = bonus, then 90% QA = nothing.

 

So if i am not getting my 100% QA on a weekly basis, company would terminate me.

 

Then i would assume that the bonus is just incidental because I'm doing my job. Based on that, i can safely say (correct me if I'm wrong though.) That the bonus forms part of my salary already, we even have a different classification for productivity incentive which is also given monthly so i cant think of the bonus as an additional incentive, they would just hold that bonus if i didn't perform as they want me to perform and if they saw i commit mistake i can be terminated but if i perform my job based on their metrics then i would be provided with my bonus which is in a fixed amount. And as i understand to be considered bonus, the amount should not be fixed but based on profits realized by employer.

 

Sorry kung makulit ako, pero i just felt robbed of my right when they transferred me and there's nothing i can do about it. Anyway salamat po SIR REDBLACK for entertaining my questions.

dear lawyers,

 

uhhmm.. ganito kasi, nagpareserve kami ng condo unit. tapos yung dad ko nag advance na ng downpayment more than 100k.

tapos biglang ayaw na ituloy ng dad ko yung condo unit. ang tanong ko po, kung hindi na po ba talaga marerefund yun?

kahit hindi buo??

[rocco69]

kung nakalagay sa kontrata na non-refundable yun, dahil wala pang dalawang taon na siya ay nagbabayad, in fact, downpayment pa nga lang (kasi kung 2 years na, RA No. 6552 sana ang applicable), hindi na mababawi yun. kung wala namang nakalagay sa kontrata na forfeited yung downpayment, mababawi niya yun.

 

kung ang dahilan ng pag-atras ng dad mo ay dahil may violation sa terms ng kontrata ang developer (dapat medyo mabigat na violation, kung minor lang, di rin pwede), pwede rin niyang bawiin (see 1191, Civil Code).

Sa court case, kapag hindi sumagot ang Defendant o ang nahahabla sa complaint ng Plaintiff, hindi ibig sabihin nito hindi na uusad ang kaso. Hihingi ang Plaintigg na ma-i-deklarang "in default" ang defendant. Kung baga sa basketball, 7pm ang laro, tapos hindi dumating yong isang team, default yong hindi sumipot, talo tuloy sila. Parang ganon ang declaration in default PERO hindi ganon ka-simple lang na idedeklara na ng judge na panalo ang Plaintiff. Kailangan pa din patunayan ng plaintiff ang lakas ng kaso nya, meaning na mayron talaga syang karapatan para maghabol ayon sa batas. Kaya yon yong kasunod nong Motion to Declare in Default is the accompanying motion for the Plaintiff to Present Evidence Ex Parte, meaning si Plaintiff lang mag-isa ang mag-pe-presenta ng kaso nya. Wala na si Defendant para i-dispute yong pinakita ni Plaintiff sa korte. Mas madali para kay plaintiff na patunayan ang kaso nya, kasi wala si Defendant para mag-object o labanan ang kaso.

 

Sir redblack,

 

Follow up question lang. kapag nagpresent ang plaintiff ng motion to present evidence ex parte, decision na ba ng court ang susunod? gaano katagal bago lumabas ang decision ng court?

 

Maraming salamat muli.

correct me if i'm wrong sir redblack. pag nagpresent ng motion to present evidence ex parte (or any motion for that matter) yung judge either igra-grant nya or ide-deny yung motion. so kung granted dun lang pwede magpresent evidence ex parte. at sa tanong ni sir HardOn as to how long yung decision, depende kung anong klaseng kaso yan at depende na din sa judge. usually yung isang buwan medyo mabilis na.

[HardOn]

Ganito yan, sabi sa Rules of Court, once the defendant is declared in default, the court can already render a judgment based on the pleadings submitted or the court in its discretion requires the plaintiff/claimant/petitioner to submit evidence. Yong ang nasa rules, pero in practice kasi, hindi mo naman ikinakabit lahat ng dokumento mo at ebidensya sa pleading, ang required lang kasi doon ay full narration of facts, yong claim mo, thus, as a matter of course it follows therefore na yong ibang lawyers naghahain na ng motion to present evidence ex parte. Bakit presentation of evidence ex parte, usually kasi pag ganitong motion, ni-rerequest mo na din na sa harap ka na lang ng Clerk of Court (the Lawyer-Chief of Staff of the judge) mag-pe-present ng ebidensya para hindi mo ma-take up and time ng Court and since si Clerk also sometimes "prepares" the decision for the judge, mas mapapabilis ang proseso, somewhat. usually granted ang motion to present evidence ex parte kasi wala ka naman kalaban and the judge is usually not in a position to deny it kasi nag-volunteer ka na nga magbigay ng ebidensya, pipigilan ka pa nya? hindi siguro. Ang makakapigil lang siguro dyan sa ganyang motion is if may technical flaw yong pleading mo, e.g. wala kang attached verification or certification against forum shopping or non-payment of filing fees, ganon, pero those stuff napupuna naman sa umpisa pa lang.

 

As to your question on speed, as a practicing lawyer, I never give my clients any estimate on the speed by which a court would render a decision. Nasisi lang ako. The speed of a judge to give out a decision is wholly his own. Kahit na ano pang-administrative order ng SC na bilisan ng mga judge na mag-decision, kanya-kanyang diskarte yan. Don't hold your breath, baka mawalang ka ng hangin, the wheels of justice in the Philippines is a slow churn. Kaya ako ang rekomendasyon ko palagi is for alternative ways of resolving disputes, binding arbitration, mediationm, and a court case only as a last resort.

 

Thanks sir.

kung ang lupa ay public land, i.e., lupa na pag-aari ng gobyerno = 0. Bawal ang korporasyon na maging may-ari ng public land (Section 3, Art. XII, Constitution).

 

kung ang lupa ay private, kahit ilang hektarya pa ang bilhin niya, pwede.

 

yung nga lang, kung ito ay private AGRICULTURAL land, maari itong kunin ng gobyerno para ipa land reform. Sa ilalim ng land reform, maaaring magtira ang landowner ng hanggang 5 hektarya. itong limang hektarya ay hindi na pwedeng i-land reform, i.e. hindi pwedeng kunin ng gobyerno para ipamigay sa mga magsasaka. (Section 6, RA 6657, as amended by RA 9700).

 

kung ang lupa ay private land classified as INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, etc., siyempre, di na ito covered ng land reform, kaya pwede siyang magbibili ng kahit ilan.

 

kung ang korporasyon ay bangko, sa ilalim ng Sec. 51 ng RA 8754, pwede siyang maging may-ari ng lupa para gamitin sa operasyon nito, pero hanggang 50% lang ng halaga ng kanyang capital accounts ang maaaring maging investments ng bangko sa lupa.

Magandang Araw po. Hingi lang po sana ako ng payo kung ano pong pwedeng naming gawin. Yung akin pong kapatid eh 17anyos pa lang pero 3 buwan na pong buntis, Ang kwento nya niyaya syang makipag inuman ng mga kaibigan at kaklase, hindi namn po daw sya nalasing. Tapos meron dun isang kaibigan nya na lalake, ang sabi ng kapatid ko ay 20 anyos na daw yun, May nangyari sa kanila dun sa inuman na yun. wala nmn daw pilitan na nangyari. Naulit pa uli ng isang beses matapos siguro mga isang lingo. Tapos nalaman na nga namin na buntis na. Kinakausap namin yung lalake ayaw makipagusap sa amin, tinatago na ng magulang ayaw kaming pansinin. Ano po bang pwede naming gawin. Pwede po ba naming idemanda yung lalake? Naawa po ako sa kapatid ko at sa magulang ko di namin alam gagawin namin. Salamat po ng marami.

Kumuha po kayo ng abogado. Magsampa po kayo ng reklamo sa paglabag ng Republic Act No. 9262 (Violence Against Women and Children o VAWC) at Republic Act No. 7610 (child abuse). Ito po ay kasong kriminal.

I loaned my ex-officemate a large amount of money. He issued a post-dated check as payment but when the check matured he kept asking for time to fund the check. After two months passed, I said I will deposit the check even if it bounces. He became hostile and threatened to accuse me of trying to buy drugs from him. He said he will print previous texts I sent him and edit them to make it appear as if I tried to buy drugs from him.

 

Can he use these edited printouts of text messages to accuse me? Or more importantly, will any court accept these as evidence against me? Thank you in advance.

[rocco69]

A study opf R.A 9165 (Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002) will show that it punishes the person who will "sell, trade, administer, dispense, deliver, give away to another, distribute dispatch in transit or transport any dangerous drug". on the other hand, the user can be convicted only for possession or use of dangerous drugs. yung alleged texts kung saan a persons tries to buy, if true, would probably constitute an attempt to sell or trade wherein the seller or trader could be punishable under the law. in short, siya pa ang sasabit pag ginawa niya yan.

 

remember also, mahirap patunayan nga galing sa yo ang text (andaling magpalit ng SIM ngayon). pag napatunayan man niya, kung ang mga sagot niya sa text ay magpapatunay na pusher siya, siya pa ang madadale, dahil di naman yan use or posession, na siyang krimen na maaring malabag ng isang user.

 

kasuhan mo na ng BP 22 para mahimashimasan ang ka-opisina mong yan
