hello mtc lawyers,

 

need insights lang...

my father is part of a group of pinoy ofws who filed a class suit against their american employer. the case was filed in 1984, and until now the plaintiffs havent received the proceeds from the case.

 

this is a long read but this link B&R case i believe is an abridged overview, though not updated, of the said case. my parents together with the plaintiffs have been attending meetings but so far i don't see anything promising. sen herrera, a judge, etc have assisted them to expedite release of proceeds but to no avail. the case has been dragging for more than 2 decades.

 

they said the money is already here in pinas but my question is where exactly and who or what entity is entrusted to hold the proceeds for safekeeping before awarding it to the claimants.

 

do you think a class suit like this would ever be successful knowing how slow our judicial system is?

i was an insider during the 1999 bar scandal and the following bar scandal that followed, the 2003 bar scandal which involved the leaked mercantile law questions.

J purisima was given a private retirement ceremony with incumbents attending, in the en banc meeting room only (not the session hall where ceremonies are held). He was still given the traditional court souvenirs like the gavel, robe, book, pen, book of decisons, SC seal, nameplate, etc. However, no traditional dinner party where the retiring justice invites his family and friends was held.

His nephew is the son of his brother, retired Judge Amante Purisima. J Purisima denied knowledge that his nephew was taking the bar. The thing is, he should have known that his nephew was taking the bar, and his nephew should have told him, so as not to put his uncle in the dilemma which ultimately compromised him. No one believed his denial.

 

 

Yeah, who would believe him after what happened. 1982, 1999, 2003 bar scandal surely tainted the reputation of the Supreme Court and the legal profession and they are supposed to be the protector of our civil liberties . Nowadays, integrity is a word that can only be found within the pages of our textbooks.

 

BTW, speaking of controversies, what do you think of the controversial case about PIATCO? The SC ruled among others that the bidding committee violated its own implementing rules and regulations in the pre-bidding qualification where the qualified bidder should have an equity of 30% and the rest of the 70% can be financed. However, records shown in the audited financial statement of PIATCO that they only have 6.08% of equity. Hence, the disparity will be detrimental to the public interest where PIATCO may not be able to finish the NAIA terminal III.

 

But before the case has been filed, the NAIA III has already been completed. Bakit ganon?

 

Moreover, the case involving Manila Hotel and the Malaysian bidder rendered a decision by the SC in favor of the government. According to the SC the constitutional provision where the rights, privileges, and concessions covering national economy and patrimony will be accorded to a preferred Filipino which the same is self-executing. The Manila Hotel was declared as something that covers the national patrimony due to its historical record of 84 yrs in existence specifically where Mcarthur stayed at the said hotel. Hence, even if the malaysian won the bid fair and square the said bid is void due to an exisiting, "First Filipino Policy".

 

But I am puzzled why a hotel is considered as something that covers a patrimony which is not a national treasure. If memory serves me right what is being sold here is not the land or building but shares of stocks. Had it been a national treasure or a movable property where it can be moved from point A to point B I think this covers a patrimony. Just my 2 cents. What do you think?

Here's an interesting problem:

 

At the office we are the IT support. There was this one case where the user's screen "rotated" 90 degrees. Yup, ROTATED and stayed that way. just imagine laying your monitor on it's side or tilting your head horizontally to see the images on the monitor. This is not a monitor setting. The user accidentally made a few keybaord combinations and then poof, that happened.

 

Screen resolution, desktop icons, all other display settings appear normal. The images in the screen were proportional to the rotation of the screen.

 

How did that happen? I've tried searching the internet but I am having trouble describing it in the search box.

 

I tried restarting the system but it booted to the rotated screen always.

 

We resolved it by doing a system restore during boot up, so it means this is a windows setting and not a hardware thing. The OS is WinXP SP2.

 

Any input would be appreciated.

HI transcience.

 

I tried reading the SC 1994 decision, I have to admit, it was quite long and complex. Just a few questions though, I noticed that several petitioners either withdrew the case, agreed to a compromised, or their case was dismissed. The SC came about with several decisions pertaining to different batches. To what specific batch do your parents belong?

 

Do they belong to the batch whose complaints were dismissed? Or to those who were required to present additional evidence? Or to those who were awarded by the NLRC?

 

Thanks

Go to the Municipal Assessor's Office and check with their tax map kung kanino nakapangalan ang lugar na kinatitirikan ninyo. Kung merong nakapangalan, check nyo kung may titulo siya o wala. Pag me titulo siya, wala na, TAPOS NA ANG BOKSING - di nyo mapapatitulohan. Kung wala siyang titulo, lumalabas na siya (yung taong pinapangalanan sa Assessor's Office) ang nagbabayad ng amillar (sa kanya nakapangalan ang tax declarations). Mahihirapan kayo pag me tax declarations ang lupa sa pangalan ng ibang tao.

 

Question ko rin, paano napunta sa inyo ang lupa (did you buy this 10 years ago or basta na lang kayo nagtayo dun)

 

Kung walang titulo ang lupa, pinaka-importanteng malaman kung ito ay alienable and disposable land of the public domain. Tingnan nyo sa Land Management Bureau (LMB) ng Laguna atsaka sa Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) kung ano ang status ng lupang kinatatayuan ninyo. Tanungin nyo na rin kung me taong nagfile na ng public land application o land patent application sa lupa nyo. Note na kung hindi classified as alienable and disposable land ang lupa nyo, di ito pwedeng patitulohan.

 

Assuming na alienable and disposable land ang kinatatayuan ninyo at walang ibang claimant, there are two ways by which you can have your land titled:

 

1. File a case in court to prove that you have been occupying the land since June 12, 1945 (by yourself and through the persons from whom you got the property); or

2. Public land patent (apply kayo to buy the land from the government - through the Bureau of Lands [ito na yata ngayon ang LMB)

thank you. i thought there'll be no takers for my questions

 

anyway, my father belongs to the batch awarded by the NLRC. he submitted all pertinent docs years ago. right now, their batch has monthly meetings headed by their lawyer.

 

i even accompanied my mother to sign documents in the lawyer's office -- that we are agreeing that 25% of the proceeds will go to the lawyer.

 

whenever my parents bring up this topic, i get frustrated. it seems that the case is going in circles.

We had the same problem here at the office 2 days ago.

 

It was resolved by checking your display settings.

 

Somewhere in the advance tab, the user unintentionally changed the orientation of the screen.. Check mo, theres another tab there, I could not recall exactly but the key is go the advance settings of your display properties.

 

Goodluck.
