@*pop quiz: any restrictions on doctors operating a pharmacy?

@*pop quiz: any restrictions on doctors operating a pharmacy?

 

Offhand, parang wala namang batas na nagbabawal o nagpapataw ng limitasyon sa isang doktor na magbukas at mag-operate ng botika. Wala namang sinasabi ang Medical Act (RA 2382, as amended), ang Pharmacy Law (RA 5921, as amended)o ang Consumer Act (RA 7394) at ang Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 (RA 9165) na bawal ang doktor mag-operate ng pharmacy. Posibleng may limitasyon kung yung doctor ay nagtratrabaho sa isang hospital o business at sa kanyang contract of employment ay mag clause na nagbabawal sa kanya na mag-open ng botika o na magkaroon ng conflict of interest with his employer in relation to a pharmacy business. Other than that, parang wala namang limitasyon. Of course, the pharmacy he opens has to be registered with and approved by the BFAD, and he has to have a registered pharmacist supervising the pharmacy.

i'm not a lawyer (yet) but with regard to the remedy the bank has, take note that they can avail of this provision:

 

"SEC. 40, Rule 39 Rules of Court. Order for application of property and income to satisfaction of judgment.—The court may order any property of the judgment obligor, or money due him, not exempt from execution, in the hands of either himself or another person, or of a corporation or other juridical entity, to be applied to the satisfaction of the judgment, subject to any prior rights over such property.

 

If, upon investigation of his current income and expenses, it appears that the earnings of the judgment obligor for his personal services are more than necessary for the support of his family, the court may order that he pay the judgment in fixed monthly installments, and upon his failure to pay any such installment when due without good excuse, may punish him for indirect contempt."

 

i think the best thing to do is to arrange with the credit card company for a payment scheme on installment basis.

here are the prohibited acts in RA8484

 

Section 9. Prohibited Acts. — The following acts shall constitute access device fraud and are hereby declared to be unlawful:

 

 

(j) obtaining money or anything of value through the use of an access device, with intent to defraud or with intent to gain and fleeing thereafter;

 

from the point of view of the collection agencies and the law offices acting as collection agencies for these card companies, i think it is their position that once someone uses his credit card (so meaning, you acquire goods/anything of value - like when u use it to pay for jeans, mobile phones or to get money as in cash advance), the card owner becomes liable under this provision. however, what is really material is the presence of the other two elements: intent to defraud AND to flee after that. hence, it is important in order to avoid being prosecuted under this provision, the card holder must inform the credit card company of any change of address. as far as i can remember, i think further down below this Section is a definition of what constitutes intent to defraud or the circumstances constituting such.

Mga Sirs,

 

I have a girl friend who got married to a Japanese in Manila for the purpose of getting a spouse visa going to Japan.

 

The Japanese was paid a fee, so there was no sex and no actual living together. She went to Japan with a Philippine passport

 

carrying the surname of the Japanese national.

 

She had since came back to the Philippines and was wondering whether she can change her passport back to her maiden name

 

without the Japanese surname.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

so my laptop which is an old Dell Inspiron 1100 and running on Windows XP Home edition keeps bugging me about how low it is on virtual memory after a couple of hours using it. I check the task manager and csrss eats up 400MB of virtual memory...I ignore it since i can't end the process. I check back a couple of hours again and poof! it's up to 900MB vm.

 

what the hell is wrong with my csrss? please help me.

 

(it's not a virus.)

[_Pabling]

but i will still do the cable switch because the cd drive is acting up.

it just autoruns any cd. it won't browse or explore.

we have extra cd drives at home and we've replaced it three times already

because we're thinking its the drive but it isn't.

same thing happens whatever cd drive we put in. help!

~grrrrrrr~

 

if it boots to a CD i would say that the drive is ok. Its the SW causing the problem. try deleting the upper and lower filters using reg edit.

looks like a no post issue. have you tried turning on system using ac adapter only/battery only?

do you get any lights when you turn on system? try to dc any external components and check if it makes a different.

 

hit me back to what happens. btw with the cost, i have no idea (so sorry).

ok...i'll check later. I left my laptop at my dorm. anyway,another problem i have is that the other account of my laptop can't apply the new changes i make on my desktop. like when I try to apply a new wallpaper background,it doesn't work. plus in the start menu, the programs that I last used doesnt appear. it's just blank where there's supposed to be the internet explorer icon,etc...

 

can you help me with this?

 

 

and i noticed also that the CSRSS on my other account does not eat up a large chunk of my VM. only in my other user accounts...

I just recently read in one of the MP forums that a certain establishment had been "raided" by the local authorities. Among those brought to the precinct were several unfortunate clients.

 

I'm curious about the criminal liability of the clients. I've always thought that paying for sex was not a crime under the revised penal code. What was probably being violated was performing coitus or acts of lasciviousness in a public place, more of a violation of a local ordinance than a specific Republic Act.

 

All I'm aware of is that there is a statue on white slavery, which prescribes criminal liability on those who profit by prostitution. But nothing on the one who solicits the service nor the client.

 

I'd like to get your input please. Forgive me, but it's been a long time since I've been a lawyer. Thanks.

Wow..........i feel for you dude :cry: that must be horrible.......Technically she is still your wife.....and if there aren't any pre-nuptial agreements....she can take away your property from your bachelor days as if it were her own. If the properties were produced during your marriage....then all the more reason she could sell it.......pero pwede siguro ipa null mo yung sale ng properties....lalo na pagsayo nakapangalan ang titulo...why? because the sale was made in bad faith..m not sure though.....pero yung pera ....good as gone na yun......she could always have an alibi for that........ang alas mo lang siguro was that she disappeared indicating an intent to commit a criminal act.....i think you need a good lawyer for this but first......you need to find her in order to charge her.

question lang mga bros., yung brother ko seaman, kakabalik lang. medyo naiinis kasi nung natanggap sya ng isang manning agency dito, yung manning agency nya pinapirma sya ng cash advance wala naman syang inadvance, tapos dini deduct sa monthly allotment nya. yun pala cover up lang yon for miscellaneous fees. e bawal pala na magkaroon kahit anong fee na sinisingil ang manning agency. d na nakapalag utol ko kc di sya makaka alis kung di nya pinirmahan. anyway balak nyang mag file ng illegal recruitment kasi parang policy na pala yon nung walanghiyang manning agency, yung pilit kang papipirmahin ng cash advance kahit wala ka namang inadvance, bago ka umalis. anyway marami silang gustong mag file 10-20 yata and sigurado na, so parang large scale. kaya lang daw nung nagtanong sila sa lawyer, wala daw ebidensya baka di mag prosper sa fiscal. kc nga naman puro cash advance forms ang pinapirmahan sa kanila. pano ba madadale yung lintek na manning agency na yon given the set of circumstances above. pwede na ba yung statements lang nila. di ba highly suspect na ang cash advances nila e puro dollars. tulong naman mga tol. thanks..

I was out of the country working nung nangyari ang lahat.

 

All the money from our joint bank account was spirited away! :grr:

 

All the vehicles we owned she sold! Kasi nung binili yung mga yun out, i was out of the country! :evil:

 

All the real estate we owned she sold! Wala rin ako nung binili yun kahit naka name sa amin 2, kasi sya lahat pumirma! :grr:

 

May business kami she owned it, but the capital from me! binenta nya rin! :grr:

 

Wala akong magawa kasi i moved to their hometown, tapos lahat kamag- anak nya mga tao dun! Dayo lang ako! :grr:

 

Di ako pwede mag tagal dun baka ipapatay ako palabasin aksidente or suicide! :grr:

 

Tangap kona na that i lost everything. :cry:

 

Ang gusto kong mangyari ay kung papaano na mawalang bisa ang kasal namin kasi i dont want anything to do with her! :grr:

 

Kasi ginawa nya binenta nya lahat tapos iniwan ako nagtatago na sya so inabandona nya ako! :grr:

 

Wala na akong balak bawiin ang mga kinuha nya, or i contest yung mga transaction na ginawa nya or na hanapin pa sya! :grr:

 

Ang gusto ko mangyari kung papaano sya legally na mahiwalayan, i dont think after ng mga ginawa nya i contest pa nya na

 

 

maghiwalay na kami! :grr: Mag 1 year palang sya naging ala "fugitive bitch!" :grr: Wala kaming kontak whatsover for

 

about a year na! :grr:

 

 

Anong kaso pwedeng mag stick sa kanya para ma void yung marriage namin?

 

Sumama sya sa ibang lalake pero di ko kilala or wala akong ebidensya na klaro para sabihing nagsasama na sila!

 

Puro narinig ko lang sa ibang tao pero tutuo ito pero papaano ko mapatunayan?

[Waterbearer]

Unless you can prove psychological incapacity exists at the time of the celebration of marriage....meaning she had the indications of commiting fraud on you....I can't see how you can make the marriage void.....Pwede kasing ground yung kapag either party causes harm, dishonor, injury to each other or to the family but it is imperative that such psychologicial disorder existed at the time of solemnization.

 

misrepresentation or deceit as to character, health, rank, fortune or chastity do not constitute fraud as ground for annulment either.

 

Para malaman mo naman kung may lalake ang asawa mo e pwes....maghire ka ng imbestigador....patunayan mo tapos pakulong mo :boo:

 

Pwede siguro yung ground na physically incapable of engaging in sexual intercourse and such incapacity continues and appears to be incurable. You can file the Petition within five (5) years after marriage. nyahahahaha :boo:

[rocco69]

Altho sabi mo na di ka na interesadong mabawi yung properties na ibenenta ng asawa mo, just for your info, sa ilalim ng Article 96 ng Family Code walang kapangyarihan ang isang taong kasal na na magbenta ng properties ng mag-asawa ng walang pahintulot yung kanyang esposo/esposa. Hindi importante kung nakapangalan lang sa isa sa mga asawa yung property. Kung ibenenta man ng asawa mo ang mga ito, yung sale ay "void." Sa kaso mo (assuming kinasal ka after Aug. 3, 1988), yung withdrawals sa bank account, malabong mabawi mo na yun.

 

Yung sa kotse at real estate, pwede pang mabawi kasi nga "void" yung deed of sale, altho mas madaling mabawi yung lupa. Siguro ko wala naman "With my marital conformity" yung mga deed of sale nun or pineke niya kung meron.

 

If u change your mind, importanteng magfile ka na ng "adverse claim" sa register of deeds (kung nasa pangalan lang ng asawa mo yung property) dun sa mga real properties nyo.
