i saw an advertisement which requires applicants to be non-smokers. to me, this is pure discrimination. this is illegal right?

 

Nope, this is perfectly legal. As a general rule, the employer has the prerogative of choosing who it wants to hire. So, if they want to hire non-smokers, they are perfectly within their rights.

1. what if mabuntis ng friend ko yung girl, anong magiging apelyido at middle initial nung bata?

 

Sa ilalim ng batas, hangga't kasal si babae sa asawa niya, lahat ng anak ng babae ay ipinapalagay na anak nila ng kanyang asawa (see Concepcion v. CA, Aug. 31, 2005; Cabatania v. CA, 441 SCRA 96). Kaya ang dapat na middle name at apelyido nung bata ay Gonzalez Muhlach pa rin. Ito ay kahit na sabihin pa ni babae na ang ama ay si Diether Ocampo (sa ilalim ng Art. 167 ng Family Code, walang bigat at bisa ang ganitong deklarasyon).

 

Ang pwede lang mag-kwestiyon kung sino ang tunay na ama nung bata ay ang asawa, hindi ang babae, hindi ang ibang tao, kaya di pwede na ilagay na Ocampo ang apelyido nung bata dahil parang pinayagan mo nang ma-kwestiyon ng ibang tao ang pinanggalingan nung bata.

 

2. may legal liability ba ung friend ko at gf nya if ever mabuntis yung girl? (alam ko magiging liability lang yun pag nag sampa ng case yung asawa for ADULTERY db? pag nagkaganun, walang lusot yung friend ko at gf nya right?

 

right, pag naghabla yung asawa at napatunayan na iba ang ama, yari silang dalawa (penalty of prision correccional - up to 6years imprisonment).

 

thanks po!! nalinawan kami dun.

 

follow up, pano kung ayaw ng asawang lalake na sa kanya i-apleyedo ang bata (kasi di naman sa kanya), pwdeng ba bang maging GONZALES OCAMPO yung bata?

 

may magagawa pa ba sila para maging GONZALES OCAMPO yung bata?

There is no law that prohibits an employee from filing a resignation letter. The law only requires that the employee must serve a written notice to his employer at least one month in advance.

 

is it also possible to file a resignation letter w/c would be effective immediately? for ex. I need to go to cebu for legal matters but then they wont allow me to file a VL so my least option is resignation....??? is this the samrtest thing to do?

Hindi pwede yun kung sa legal ang usapan.

 

Pero, kung wala namang magrereklamo, pag nanganak, wag sabihin sa hospital o midwife (kung sino ang kumukuha ng data para sa birth certificate) na me asawa na si babae (gamitin ang maiden name) tapos sabihin na di sila kasal nung ama ng bata (si Diether) pero kinikilala nung ama yung bata (may pipirmahan si lalaki na papeles ukol dito). Dahil yun naman ang info na nakuha nung taong naglilista ng birth data, ang lalabas na birth certificate Gonzalez Ocampo.

 

Ngayon, ibang usapan kung meron silang liability dahil dito (pero kung wala namang magrereklamo, OK lang), pero ayos na ang birth certificate nung bata.

hi peeps.

 

last september 2006 nakabili ako ng kotse. wala kaming deed of sale kasi ang sabi sa akin naka financing ang car kaya ako na lang ang magtutuloy.. a downpayment of 140k and a monthly of 8k.

 

yon ang akala ko nung una.. pero lately kasi di na sya nagpakita. then it turned out na nakasangla pala ang car.

 

so nagtaka na ako i contacted his cousin, di na nga raw nagpakita at marami na syang pinagkautangan.

 

tinawagan ko yong akala kong bank na nag financing and then turned out na nakasangla pala ang kotse. pero kanya talaga ang kotse at naksangla lang pala. in short naloko ako. nagtiwala kasi agad ako since close friend ko ang cousin nya.

 

ano po bang pwede kong gawin. july 2008 ang maturity date ng car. so pwede mahila sa akin that time kung makita ang car.

ngayon katext ko yong legal department ng bank na pinagkasanglaan. anong pwedeng sabihin ko sa kanya.

wala pa naman akong complete identity sa kanila. ano kayang pwde kong gawin.

 

pwde ko bang itago na lang ang car kasi wala naman akong utang sa bangko at hindi naman ako ang may utang sa kanila.

or pwede ko bang i pa chop chop na lang ang car para mabawi ko man lang ang mga naibayad ko.

[id6230]

Just do what is right and cut your loses. Just remember any legal transaction should always be in writting, no exceptions. Just accept na naluko ka and don't do another bad deed just to cover your loses.

[jopoc]

try paying the bank na lang

ayun! may lusot pa pala sila! pwde pa palang maging gonzales ocampo yung bata! maraming maraming salamat po sa pagpapaliwanag master rocco! maraming salamat talaga!!

[webmaster_ph]

pwde ko bang itago na lang ang car kasi wala naman akong utang sa bangko at hindi naman ako ang may utang sa kanila.

or pwede ko bang i pa chop chop na lang ang car para mabawi ko man lang ang mga naibayad ko.

 

does the bank know you possess the car? if yes, keep and use it while you can.

 

just accept your mistake and learn from it. as was said, don't do another mistake or bad deed just to cover your losses.

 

fyi: its standard procedure to acquire/provide a deed of sale for you to transfer ownership.

[redax]

ayun! may lusot pa pala sila! pwde pa palang maging gonzales ocampo yung bata! maraming maraming salamat po sa pagpapaliwanag master rocco! maraming salamat talaga!!

 

Problema lang nagcocommit ka ng crime in doing so. Falsification yan.

[bonghernz]

no.. di nila alam..

[duralife]

ayun! may lusot pa pala sila! pwde pa palang maging gonzales ocampo yung bata! maraming maraming salamat po sa pagpapaliwanag master rocco! maraming salamat talaga!!

 

 

may lusot nga pero beware lang...just like what duayne said..."may liability sila dito" pag may magreklamo....

[duralife]

may lusot nga pero beware lang...just like what duayne said..."may liability sila dito" pag may magreklamo....

 

i mean like what rocco69 said "may liability sila dito" pag may magreklamo....thats if the husband will file an adultery case against the wife and use the birth certificate as proof that the wife has a child with another man.

sirs,

i have questions which regards to inheritance

my friend is a legitimate child but their parents have separated and is currently living with her mom. her parents are still married legally but her father has currently has another family in another place.

does my friend have a right to claim a share of his fathers fortune right now? Or does she have to wait for his father's last will and testament, if there is any?

thanks

[mr. john]

mga attorney! sir,

 

hingi lang ako opinion or advice. required ba na magbigay ng SEPARATION PAY ang isang company sa mga employees (specifically drivers) if contractual iyong drivers? may mga pinirmahan ung drivers dati na nakalagay dun na malinaw na nakalagay na "CO-TERMINUS ang contract nila. meaning pag wala ng project/work contract ung company, ibig sabihin sabay din na mawawala ung work ng mga drivers. diba pag ganun ang case, hindi kelangang magbigay ng separation pay? kc CO-TERMINUS. tama ba? need your opinion on this matter ..thank.

The answer to both questions is NO.

 

Habang buhay ang kanyang tatay, WALA SIYANG KARAPATANG MAGMANA!

 

Ang mana ay nakukuha lamang sakaling mamatay na ang pagmamanahan.

 

Ngayon, kung nangangailangan siya ng pera, at wala o kulang ang kanyang hanapbuhay, pwede siyang humingi ng suporta sa kanyang ama kung ito ay may kakayahang suportahan siya (pero hindi ito "inheritance" kundi "support").

Tama ka if they really are project employees (persons hired for a specific project and which project's termination or end has already been determined at the time of the hiring of the person).

 

Ang gimik kasi ng ibang employer sasabihing "project employee" ang driver pero actually wala namang specific project kung saan naka-assign yung tao or walang malinaw na usapan kung kelan matatapos yung supposed "project"). Kapag di sila genuine na project employee, pwede silang magreklamo pag tinanggal.

[massajr]

sirs,

 

So, with inheritance out of the question,

 

How does she go about to ask for support from his father? Can her mother also ask for support from her husband too? Because her father is well to do and could support them if he wanted to

 

Can she & her mother legally force their father to give them support?

 

if yes, what steps should she carry in order to do this?

 

should she & her mother file separately? she also has 1 brother & 1 sister from the same father, can they also claim support too?

 

thanks

thanks. so in short, if they are really "genuine" project employees, hindi sila(employees) supposedly maghabol ng separation pay? thanks!

How does she go about to ask for support from his father?

 

so long as di niya kayang buhayin ang sarili niya, makakahingi siya (kahit me trabaho na, kahit nasa edad na).

demand letter muna, pag di sumunod sa demand letter, kailangan niyang maghabla (kumuha ng abugado)

 

kung siya ay minor, pwede niyang sampahan ng criminal case for child abuse ang ama niya (bumabagsak sa child abuse ang di pagsuporta sa anak)

 

Can her mother also ask for support from her husband too?

 

kung di rin kayang buhayin ng ina ang sarili niya, pwede rin siyang humingi ng suporta. demand letter din muna, tapos pag di sumunod, habla din sa korte

 

Can she & her mother legally force their father to give them support?

 

Oo, pero kailangan nilang magfile sa korte ng action for support

 

if yes, what steps should she carry in order to do this?

 

should she & her mother file separately?

 

yes, they can do this separately pero it's cheaper and more convenient to file a consolidated case

 

she also has 1 brother & 1 sister from the same father, can they also claim support too?

 

yes, all of them can claim

dear sir,

 

do they need to show proof that the father is capable of supporting them?

like source of income? properties owned by the father?

what if the father would not produce proof of his sources of income (either legitimate or illegitimate sources of income) , or put his ownership of his properties in the names ohter than himself?

Could they still ask the court for support from the father?

 

thanks

[rocco69]

in support cases, isang magandang depensa ang pagsasabi na kulang din ang kinikita ng taong hinihingan ng suporta (kung wala nga namang pera yung tao, kahit ano pa ang pangangailangan mo, di rin nya kayang tustusan, tsaka bago ang iba, siyempre kailangan muna niyang buhayin ang sarili).

 

Dahil dito, kailangang handa kang patunayan na may pera, ari-arian o pinagkakakitaan talaga yung taong hinihingan mo ng suporta. Ang una kasing reaction ng taong hinahabla ay ang magsabi na wala siyang pera para bumuhay ng iba.

 

Note, however, na pwedeng ipatawag yung tao ng korte upang interbyuhin (under oath) tungkol sa mga properties niya. Pag nagsinungaling siya, perjury yun.

 

Kapag inilagay naman niya sa ibang pangalan yung ari-arian niya, pwede pa rin itong habulin (mangangailangan talaga kayong kumunsulta sa abugado tungkol dito).

Dear Lawyers,

 

What do you think is the rationale of the 13th month pay law? what's the lawmakers reason on implementing this law? why stop at 13th when we've got 14,15 or 20th.?

Thanks

The replies of the other pañeros are legally sensible. But based on your statements, it sounds more like estafa to me. Perhaps you should try looking for that guy's whereabouts and contact a lawyer if you decide to file an estafa case against him.
