The lower courts may simply apply the principle of laches, since you're only considering filing an action after 3 years.

 

 

Thanks for the info.

Tanong lang po.

Kung natapos na ang usapin sa barangay level at hindi nagkasundo ang bawat panig, next step di po ba ay iakyat sa fiscal ang case. ilang months po ba dapat i-akyat nung nagrereklamo ang kaso sa piskalya? Kung hindi po niya naipasok sa fiscal within the allowed period of time, ano na po ang magiging status ng usapin? Pwede bang magharap ng kaso yung respondent against sa nagreklamo sa kanya kasi naabala sya and at the same time his reputation was put at stake because of that case in the barangay level?

Dude, the case may be filed with the prosecutor's office within the prescriptive period. The prescriptive period depends on the gravity of the crime, i.e., the graver the offense, the longer the prescriptive period. I think oral defamation prescribes in 2 months.

 

My advice: wag nyo na palakihin ang mga barangay cases na yan. In my experience, barangay cases are the most difficult to settle, because of the enlarged egos of the parties. Buti pa businessmen, pag nagkasundo na sa money, ok na. Mga barangay cases na yan, aso lang ang pinagmulan ng away, gusto dalhin sa Korte Suprema ang kaso. So i suggest wag pairalin ang pride sa barangay cases.

[redax]

Unfortunately, common dito sa Pilipinas and maling application ng warrantless arrest. Problema, pagwala ka abogado at pangareglo, mahirapan ka. Mahirap rin pagnakausap kalaban mo ang prosecutor at mataas na kaso mapataw sa iyo. Sa prosecutor kasi probable cause lang kailangan para masampahan ka ng kaso na palagay nya nacommit mo. Kawawa ka talaga pag wala pera at abogado. Kaya maski physical injuries lang kaso, paglinakad ng kalaban mo prosecutor delikado ka.

mga sir, tulong lang po sana kung anong course of action ang dapat namin gawin:

sa barangay po namin ay maliit ang iskinita, bale one-way lang kaya kung may 2 sasakyan na magkasalubong ay bigayan talaga. sa mga taga roon po ay walang problema dahil talagang bigayan lang ng daan.

isang hapon po, pauwi yung hipag ko, drive nya yung maliit na kotse eh may isang sasakyan na nasa iskinita, tumigil lang muna si hipag, ni hindi nabusina dahil obvious naman na papasok siya. Lumapit sa kanya ang isa sa tatlong lalake na magkakasama sa sasakyan na yon, eh mga lasing pala. Eh habang kinakusap ni hipag na kung maari iusad muna ang kanilang sasakyan para makapasok at maka-grahe siya eh nagalit pa at namewang ang lalake at pinakita na may nakasukbit na baril sa bewang. Natakot si hipag at sinarado na lang ang bintana ng kotse.

Nagkataon naman na nakamasid lang ang mga kapitbahay sa mga pangyayari kaya may mga lumapit para mamagitan pero sa halip na maayos ay umakma ng suntok ang mga lasing kaya nagkagulo na, eh ready rin naman ang mga taong-bayan kaya dinumog ang tatlong lasing. Sa rambulan na yon eh nakuhang bumunot ng baril ang isang lalake at yung isa ay kumuha ng baril sa sasakyan kaya talagang mga armado pala ang mga lasing, pero hindi naman nagawang magpaputok.

Lumalabas na ito palang 3 lalake ay bisita ng isang taga roon din na mag-asawa at lumabas nga ng magkagulo, eh masama rin ang bibig ng mag-asawa dahil sinabi doon sa 3 na "bakit di nyo pinagbabaril ang mga iyan". Pinapasok ulit nila ang mga bisita nila at pagdating sa bahay nila ay saka doon nagpaputok ng baril. Syempre nagkatakot ang mga tao.

Hindi naman bugbog sarado yung tatlong lasing, yung isa lang ang may bangas eh balita ay nagpa-medical at gusto magdemanda, ang problema ay 4 na tao lang tinutukoy nila dahil gusto lang mamerwisyo ay isinama pa ang anak ni hipag bale pamangkin ko.

Alam naman po sa barangay ang mga pangyayari dahil may isang kagawad na nakasaksi nito, kaya kinabukasan ay opisyal na nagpa-blotter sa barangay ang hipag ko. Doon sa banta na magdedemanda ang 3 lasing ay wala pa naman nag-materialize, yon nga lang po ay nagkakatakot ang mga tao dahil mukhang mga gangster yung nakasagupa nila. Ang hipag ko naman ay mukhang nag-nervous breakdown na at hindi mapagkatulog dahil sa natatakot siya na baka gawan ng masama ang mga anak nya eh araw-araw napasok sa college ang mga bata.

Ano po ang mai-advise nyo na magandang course of action sa sitwasyon. Sa ganito po bang kaso ay uubra nga magdemanda ang 3 lasing kahit di kumuha ng clearance sa barangay? Ano po kaya kaso ang pwede isampa sa 3 lasing at sa mag-asawa? Marami naman pong testigo, buong barangay.

Thanks in advance.

sa pamilya po itong isasangguni ko bale property ng parents ko un itatanong ko... tungkol sa pwedeng gawin na legal na paraan para di na kelangan muna ilipat sa pangalan ko un gusto namin patayuan ng bahay bale un likod ng bahay ng parents ko. sa parents ko po kasi ayaw pa nila sa ngyon ibigay un likod ng bahay at palagyan ng title ng lupa. ang tanong po, ano po ang mas mabuting gawin namin kung sakali kami na magpatayo ng bahay na may hinahawakan na papeles hindi man title or ibang dokumento para di naman maging magulo balang araw.

 

 

maraming salamat sa inyo.

Dude, I'm afraid there's nothing much you can do to assure yourself that the other half of your parents' property will ultimately be adjudicated to you. Your parents are the owners, hence, they may do whatever they want to do with it. They may even sell it even if you're occupying a portion of that property. Until one of your parents shall have died, I'm afraid you have absolutely no interest in any of their property.

 

But here's what i suggest you do. Enter into a written agreement with your siblings, obliging themselves to recognize the portion you are already occupying.

Albeit technically that agreement is illegal and invalid (because under the law, no contract may be entered into over future inheritance), still your siblings may be less inclined to question your possession of that portion of your parents' property, as they would always think of that agreement they executed with you. In short, pang discourage lang yung agreement na yan, para naiisip lang nila na may pinirmahan pala sila sayo tungkol sa property na yun.

 

Good luck.

[dylandark]

Boss ask ko lang. Pag ang isang tao ba na naaresto ng pulis dahil nakita naman na may ginawang masama yung tao na yun eh pwede ding pakawalan dahil magiging arbitrary daw yung pagkadetain sa kanya kung sakaling nahuli sya ng sabado at walang piskal o court na available para masampahan ng complaint agad at sa lunes pa? may oras ba o time limit ang pag detain sa tao na yun ? gaano ba kabigat dapat yung offense para di pakawalan yung tao?

Once a person is arrested for committing a crime, a case against him must be filed in court within a certain period of time (12 hrs, 24 hrs, 48 hrs), depending on the gravity of the offense. The graver the offense, the longer the period.

 

This period, however, does not run on days where courts are not open (holidays, saturdays and sundays). Arbitrary detention occurs only when a police officer failed to file the necessary information in court against a person arrested when he COULD HAVE DONE SO.

 

In short, mali yung sinabi ng police sayo.

attorneys, ask ko lang po if bumagsak po ng bar exam 3 times, di na po ba pwedeng mag take ulit?

[freelicker]

A candidate for the CPA is allowed to take the exams for 3 times and if they do not pass the exams by then, they would be required to undergo a refresher course to update and refresh the knowledge of the candidate in the core subjects to be covered by the new exams.

 

A refresher course is not like a review but more like repeating 4th (or 5th) years of college. The reason for this is becuase it is likely that the accounting rules and standards would have already changed and the candidate needs to re-learn them. After taking this refresher course (make sure it is a refresher course, in case of doubt ask your review school), the candidate will get a certificate of completion that will be submitted to the PRC before he/she will be allowed to take the CPA exams again for another 3 times.

 

The candidate can repeat this process as often and long as he/she wants, although in most cases, after the 3rd try most candidates give up already and look for a job somewhere or get alternative qualifications.

[bonito99]

The Supreme Court has changed the rules: a law grad can only take the bar 5 times. After that, no more.

[freelicker]

For BAR exams, the process is similar. Rule 138, Sec. 16 except that the law is very specific that the candidate must repeat the 4th year of Law (which are mainly composed of review subjects). The professors of the candidate must issue a specific certification under oath that the candidates have regularly attended classes and passed the subjects under the same conditions as ordinary students and the ratings obtained by them in the particular subject.

 

I am not familiar with the change and would defer to Bonito on this.

 

Besides, more often than not after 3 times of the torture that the BAR can give you, most candidate would just quit it.

First, determine the area of the portion of the property where you intend to build your house. You can easily estimate this by measuring (length x width = area). Or if you want an accurate area, get a surveyor. This will however cost you.

 

Ask your parents to sign a "Deed of Donation," where it says they are donating this portion to you. It does not have to indicate the shape but it has to indicate the area. Have it notarized and oay the donor's taxes. Also, have this document annotated on your parents' title. This document is legal and binding. Although, you still does not a separate title to the lot, you are already legally part owner of the property. Tell your partents that estate tax (inheritance) is much more expensive than donor's tax.

ask ko lang yung isang agent namin met anaccidebt inside the office premises while their practicing for the cheerdance competetion, she fell badly and critical sa hospital..ask ko lang will the employer be liable on that?

[swami]

It really depends. Was the floor wet? Were the employees practicing negligently? Were they throwing your co-employee in the air without the assitance of a trained cheer leader?

 

The test in determining whether the employer should be held liable is: Could the employer have reasonably foreseen the incident? And if so, did he undertake reasonable means to prevent such incident? If yes, he's liable. If not, he's not.

 

If the floor was slippery, then maybe the employer is liable. If the ventillation system was so poor as to cause your co-employee to get dizzy, and consequently, she fell off, then may be the employer is liable. Unless these and other similar circumstances were present, I don't think the employer is liable.

Dude, I have not worked in a bank, and therefore, am not really familiar with their practices.

 

Having said that, I think you cannot unilaterally prevent your gf from withdrawing monies from that dollar account right away. You see, when you opened that account, you entered into a three-party contract: you, your gf and the bank. The bank's obligation is not only to you, but also to your gf. Of course, you may eventually have it stopped, but as i said, not right away. You will have to file a case in court for that.

 

But i still suggest that you write the bank. There's no harm trying. Banks are usually wary of these things, and will try to avoid litigation as much as possible. There's no harm trying.

Many thanks !! i will try to call or write to my bank

[powerpuffgirls]

I went yesterday at the wet market to buy fish. I paid the vendor a worn out-P200-bill with many writings on it (the only money i had at that time). Upon seeing my money by the vendor, she immediately refused it (money). She reasoned out: "Ineng, di na pwedeng pambayad yang pera mo ang daming sulat at gamit na gamit na". I answered her back : " Manang, pwede pa ho ito,hanggat intact pa ho yung SERIAL NUMBER nung pera". But, she insisted not accepting the money...

 

 

 

attorneys, I would like to ask: What does constitute bills and coins to be called as legal tender here in the Philippines?
