Mga Ser,

Itatanong ko lng yung monitor ba pwede iparepair sa mga electronic shop, yung isang monitor (fujitsu) kasi biglang pumayat yung horizontal side nya, but yung vertical ayos naman at gumagana pa yung adjustment. Yung isa nman (not branded) nde na mabuo yung screen maliliit na parang one liner na lng. Any idea or advice regarding sa price ng repair at tumatagal ba if ever. Thanks in advance.

Pwede rin but I advise you to bring it to a computer repair shop. mas makakasiguro ka pa. The charges depend on what is wrong with the monitor (kung anong piyesa ang sira) + labor. As for kung tumatagal, depende na sa monitor yun at sa skill nung technician na gumawa. Usually naman oo.

Hey guys,

 

I've been attending the MCLE session of Arellano the past few days and will be attending the ones this week. I noticed the number of lawyers who was attending and was curious if there was anyone there who might be a member here.

 

Anyone who's attending the same session, give me a shout so we can meet in Century Park and maybe we can drink out on Friday!!

:)

hi, thanks for the reply...

 

twas my boss who happened to be my best friend ;)

the appointment as chairman of the department is renewed yearly...on top of his appointment as full-time permanent faculty...

 

when he received his letter citing " completion of his term " he was informed somebody else was asked to sign as new chair with an effectivity date og april 15, despite that his completion is up to may 15

 

thus, the overlapping appointment..supposedly, the act seemed to ensure transition..however, it turned out that the new boss wanted to act already as the chair..and wanted that her decision be her own alone...and the other one vacate already his office....she came to a point asking the incumbent.."bakit chairman ka pa ba?"

 

my friend at Ombudsman said automatically, the incumbent's appointed wa srevoked when another one was appointed, even if the term is to end on may 15..however, the appointment paper signed by the new appointee was not released to proper offcies, thus, a question of her legality as chair surfaced......... :lol: :lol:

 

ang gulo no? anyways, twas just, for me, a sotry of power hungry people....twa snot me..but i was affected, knowing that twas my bestfriend their screwing :lol: :blush:

gud day MTC lawyers,

 

i like to ask about how to deal with this kind of case....

 

there's a seller name anne and a buyer name danita. danita bought some stuff from anne few years back and was able to pay on-time until one day she issued a bouncing check and went into hiding.

 

anne keeps on calling her to pay up but she said she don't have money yet. this went on for a couple of months until danita doesn't want to answer the phone anymore and her maid keeps on giving alibis to anne. anne even tried going to danita's house but danita always leave very early in the morning and comes home very late. sometimes doesn't go home at night at all.

 

recently, anne went to a lawyer to secure a demand letter but the problem is, anne can't seem to get hold of danita. i heard that danita should be the one to sign the demand letter and not her maid. correct?

 

i heard that bouncing checks have expiration too which means there's only a certain time for its effectivity on a case. so does it mean that anne should kiss her more than P150k danita owes her? anne couldn't bring some cops to danita's house, can she or she might face harrassment raps? is this a hopeless case especially that this happened more than a year or close to 2 years already?

 

any opinion will be appreciated.

any opinion will be appreciated.

Issuance of a bouncing check maybe the basis in filing estafa when the drawer(Danita) is notified of the dishonor of the check drawn by her for insufficiency of funds, by the payee, holder or drawee-bank and her failure to make good the check within 3 days from such notice will constitute prima facie estafa and will be liable under Art. 315 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC). There are 3 elements involved in the crime, a.) Postdating or issuance of a check in payment of an obligation contracted at the time the check was issued; b.) Insufficiency of funds to cover the check; c.) Damage to the payee thereof.

 

Under the RPC, Estafa carries with it correctional penalty (based on the amount involved) which means that the crime prescribes in 10 years. In the instant case, if all of the above-cited elements are present, then the filing of a criminal case for estafa against Danita has not yet prescribed even if it happened 2 years ago.

 

On the otherhand, if the issuance of the bouncing check does not constitute estafa Anne can file a criminal case under BP 22 (Bouncing Check Law). In the present procedure, BP 22 cases are now governed by the Rules on Summary Procedure wherein the same are instituted in the Municipal Trial Courts. With respect to its prescription, ACT No. 3326 provides for the prescription of 4 years, for offenses punished by imprisonment for more than one month, but less than two years. BP 22 carries with it imprisonment of one month to not more than 1 year. Hence, in the instant case, Anne could still file a case under BP 22 against Daniat since the same has not yet prescribed.

 

With respect to the demand letter, if for any reason the same can not be served by personal service, Anne can mail the same by registered mail to Danita's last known address. The demand letter is of no moment when filing a criminal case. The same is needed only in civil cases for collection of sum of money. It is better to file the criminal aspect since it would include the civil aspect as well even if theres no demand letter.

 

With regard to the bringing of cops to Danita's abode, I submit that it is no longer needed. Anne should file her complaint with the Fiscal's office so that Danita will be summoned to answer or file her opposition the same. In this way, Danita will be compelled to appear before the Fiscal with her lawyer of course.

hi i would just like to ask if false information written on the marriage contract can be a ground for it to be deemed null and void. thanks

The marriage contract is a mere documentary evidence that one person marries another. If there are false information contained in the same, the marriage cannot be rendered void but would only make the person who prepared the same criminally or administratively liable. Void marriages are those which are contracted in the absence any of the formal or essential requisites of marriage and those found under Art. 35, 36, 37,38 and 52 of the Family Code.
