can you expound more on the coverage of his act sir bonito...

 

here are some of the details i can provide.

 

my relative has 3 Syndicated estafa case filed against her, trials are on going, but trial schedules only proceeds to about 10 hearings a year or less.

for the past 10 yrs of hearings there is still no final resolution, all petitions for bail is denied, she is now detained for 9yrs and 10months in total

[moridins79]

Under the Speedy Trial Act (or Rep. Act. No. 8493), a time period for trial is provided. It requires that the entire trial period not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the first day of trial. However, in Tan v. People of the Philippines, G.R. No. 173637 [21 April 2009], the Supreme Court laid down the principles when the right to speedy trial can be invoked,

 

“In determining the right of an accused to speedy trial, courts are required to do more than a mathematical computation of the number of postponements of the scheduled hearings of the case. A mere mathematical reckoning of the time involved is clearly insufficient, and particular regard must be given to the facts and circumstances peculiar to each case.

"Moreover, although periods for trial have been stipulated, these periods are not absolute. Where periods have been set, certain exclusions are allowed by law. After all, this Court and the law recognize that it is but a fact that judicial proceedings do not exist in a vacuum and must contend with the realities of everyday life. In spite of the prescribed time limits, jurisprudence continues to adopt the view that the fundamentally recognized principle is that the concept of speedy trial is a relative term and must necessarily be a flexible concept."

ang sabi its all on final stages na,paperworks na lang tumatakbo. pero yung isang case, humihirit pa na makapagsalang ng witness para makabawi.. yung isa naman nagpalit ng judge dahil yung pinalit na prosecutor ay family friend ng judge.. so iraraffle off na naman yun case.

I think land ownership is absolute to holders of land titles. tax declarations are just for tax purposes. meaning anyone can pay for the realty tax & the city or mun will accept it. this is not proof of ownership. the tenants on the land can claim that they are settling there longer than you. as you know for untitled properties, possession is 90% ownership.

 

if your land is a titled land then you own it even without stepping on it all your life.

Sir ginamit nya vehicle, materials, name of the company and collection. madaling sabi nangontrata sya sa kanya napunta payment. nasa sales dept. kasi sya.

then charge him with estafa,

keeping money that does not belong to him.

 

but best way to terminate someone is by proving that he did not report to work or AWOL.

sir question lang po uli regarding sa labor code. tama lang po ba less than 12 hours ang interval ng work hours ng isang employee. for example ang pasok ko today is from 9am - 5pm then ang pasok ko bukas is 4am-12pm. gusto ko lang po malaman kung may law regarding sa work hours.TIA sir

[rocco69]

Magsimula tayo sa basic principles:

 

1. Ang isang work day ay 24 consecutive hours.

 

2. ang empleyado ay dapat magtrabaho ng 8 hours lang sa isang workday, kapag sumobra dun, dapat may overtime pay.

 

3. ang iyong workday, kung pumapasok ka ng 9am, ay nagsisimula sa oras na iyon at natatapos ng 9am sa sunod na araw.

 

Dahilan dito, kung ikaw ay nagtrabaho ng 9am to 5pm , lumalabas na ang work day ninyo ay 7 hours lang (assuming 1-hr lunch break) [hindi naman ito ganun ka-importante dahil lumalabas na mas pabor ang company policy ninyo kesa sa batas, imbes na 8 hours, 7 hours lang kayo nagtratrabaho; kapag sumobra dito, overtime pa rin dapat]

 

At dahil ang workday mo ay nagtatapos ng 9am, kapag pinagtrabaho ka sa sunod na araw mula 4am - 12 pm, dapat bayaran ka ng overtime! Yung oras ng pagpasok mo mula 4am hanggang 9am ay pasok sa naunang work day mo (na tumatakbo ng 9am to 9am the next day), at dahil dito ay sobra na sa normal workday load mo na 7 hrs a day ang itrinatrabaho mo, kaya dapat ay bayaran ka na ng overtime (see DOLE Manual, Sec. 4323-01).

 

Note: baka magtanong ka naman, kung yung 4am - 9am ay overtime pala nung nakalipas na araw, paano yung 9am - 12pm na naiwan nung sunod na araw, undertime naman ako nun dahil 3 oras lang ang natrabaho ko sa sumunod na workday ko?

 

Tama yun, undertime ka na nga nun dahil 3 oras nga lang ang itrinabaho mo sa sumunod na araw. Pero, ayon sa Art. 88 ng Labor Code, ang undertime ay hindi na-o-offset ng overtime. Sa madaling salita, hindi maaaring i-charge sa kulang na oras mo sa sumunod na araw yung oras ng overtime mo nung nakalipas na araw. Kailangan talagang bayaran ng employer ang 30% na additional para sa overtime mo.

 

sir question lang po uli regarding sa labor code. tama lang po ba less than 12 hours ang interval ng work hours ng isang employee. for example ang pasok ko today is from 9am - 5pm then ang pasok ko bukas is 4am-12pm. gusto ko lang po malaman kung may law regarding sa work hours.TIA sir

For persons who got married between the ages of 18 and 21, for your marriage to be valid, you have to have the consent of your father, mother, or guardian (in that order; kung may tatay, kelangan consent ng tatay, kung wala nang tatay, consent na ng nanay; kung me nanay at tatay, kahit payag yung nanay, kung ayaw ng tatay, walang consent, kasi nga, in that order dapat).

 

sabi mo, nung ikinasal ka, 19 ka lang at walang consent ng magulang mo, pwedeng ipa-annul ang kasal mo for lack of consent (see Art. 45, Family Code).

 

NGUNIT, SUBALIT, DATAPWAT...

 

ikaw ay mayroon lamang limang taon mula ng ikaw ay mag-21 para isampa ito sa korte. sa madaling salita, kung ikaw ay lampas 26 años na ngayon, PASO na ang kaso mo.

 

Isa pa, kailangan na di na kayo nagsama nung ikaw ay nag-21, dahil ang patuloy na pagsasama ng mag-asawa kapag ikaw ay umabot na ng 21 ay makakalunas sa depekto ng kasal. sa madaling salita ulit, kung nagsama pa rin kayo nung nag-21 ka, yung kakulangan ng pahintulot ng magulang mo ay DI NA RIN BASEHAN para ipawalang-bisa ang kasal mo (kahit di pa lumilipas ang 5-taong termino para i-file ang kaso na yan).

 

At dahil, sabi mo na rin na umuuwi ka sa inyo pag nagbabakasyon ka, lumalabas na nagsama kayo ng ikaw ay nag-21. Kaya, ang kawalang pahintulot ng magulang mo ay di na pwedeng gamitin bilang basehan para ipawalang-bisa ang kasal mo.

 

Sa birth certificate naman, yung wala kang birth certificate ay hindi magagamit para ipawalang bisa ang kasal mo.

 

Pero tingnan mo na rin yung lisensya ng kasal nyo. Sabi mo na rin, pinalabas na taga-Cavite ka, baka peke ang lisensya na ginamit sa kasal ninyo. I-check mo na rin at kung ito ay peke, walang bisa ang kasal mo.

 

Dear Lawyers,

 

I want to consult this situation regarding my marriage. Me and my wife got married at the age of 19 without consent of both our parents. She was pregnant at that time and she arrange everything herself for the marriage. The marriage was solemnize on a municipal hall. On the marriage certificate, my address is incorrect and showing I am a resident from Cavite which I never live on that place. After few years, I applied for work abroad and applied for a passport. When I go to my hometown to get a birth certificate, I found out that I am not registered and so I apply for late registration.

 

I am an OFW and right now not in good relationship with my wife and not talking or communicating with her for the past 7 years. Although I go home annually (vacation) in our house for the sake of our kids, I don't talk to her. I want to get her out of my life due to irreconcilable differences.

 

My question now, is there a chance I can annul our marriage considering that I am not at legal age at the time of our marriage and don't have record (birth Certificate) at the local registry. I am planning to buy properties for myself and for the kids and I don't want her to be part of it.

 

Thanks in advance for your advice.

up for this thread. I recently applied for work abroad while I'm still connected with the company. I asked for a COE and indicated on my request that it is for my application abroad. The HRD denied my request and the reason given to me was of conflicting interest (me applying for work abroad versus me still connected with the company) and that I should file my resignation first. Is this correct? I have read the labor code and there is no stipulation saying the company cannot provide me a COE for my application abroad.
