Maraming salamat sa inyong sagot!

 

may karagdagang katanungan lang ako tungkol sa sagot ninyo,

 

1. ano ang parusa sa simple seduction? ma-i-ituring po bang deceit o pandaraya kung hindi sya sumunod sa kasunduan sa kadahilanan hindi nya na gusto o mahal ang babae? Habang ginagawa ang kasunduan, wala naman pong motibo ang lalake na balang araw ay hihiwalayan nya ito, ang mga pangyayari ay normal lang naman katulad sa ibang relasyon.

 

2. tungkol po sa kasunduan, paano po ito naging contrary to laws and morals? alin aspekto ng kasunduan at ng kasulatan na lumabag sa batas at moralidad?

 

3. Legal po ba ang kasunduan na ang ipapangako mo ang pagpapakasal sa takdang panahon gayong maaring mawala ang mga requisitos sa pagpirma ng kontrata (i.e. marriage contract) tulad ng maaring mapilitan na lang ang isang partido sa pagsunod ng kasunduan, sa pagdating ng panahon?

 

maraming salamat po uli

 

If I may...

 

Under Art. 338 of the Revised Penal Code "simple seduction" is he seduction of a woman who is single or a widow of good reputation, over twelve but under eighteen years of age, committed by means of deceit, shall be punished by arresto mayor (1 mo and 1 day to 6 mos). Of course, under the provisions of the RPC, seduction is committed when the offender has carnal knowledge of any of the persons and under the circumstances described herein.

 

Tungkol naman sa "deceit," ito ay isang bagay na dapat ma-prove through evidence na nag-eexist at that moment when you supposedly entered into the so-called contract. but in any case, the same is contrary to laws and morals as to give one's self is not the proper subject of a contract and that the same is contrary to the fundamental principle that one may not be forced to do something he refuses to do subject to certain exceptions.

 

as for being forced to enter into marriage based on the said "contract", even assuming na valid to, one cannot be forced to marry another based on the same as the necessary element of consent in entering into a marriage contract would be defective. caveat though is that when the said 'contract' or 'promise' was done in bad faith (as in may asawa ka na and thus cannot possibly enter into another marriage contract unless muslim ka), damages may be collected. plus, the following premise when coupled with the fact na abugado ka...sad to say, lagot ka! hahaha.

meron ba d2 na makakapagrefer ng libreng labor lawyer..

 

Here are a few suggestions:

 

A. Private

University of the Philippines Legal Aid Clinic

Free Legal Assistance Group (FLAG)

Philippine Bar Association

Integrated Bar of the Philippines

National Office - Ortigas Center

Provincial Offices

...and other individual or groups of lawyers

who are ethically bound by law to extend

legal assistance on meritorious cases.

 

B. Public

If you are complaining in a labor case(a case against your employer) - your complaint may be received for arbitration but if no settlement is reached, the Labor Arbiter may refer you to a lawyer for free assistance.

But in all instance, there is no such thing as absolutely "free" legal service. You will have to spend for the costs of documentation (paper works), court costs and fees, transportation, etc., etc., while your case is being attended to by your lawyer.

One of our new members needed help. Below is so far information I obtained from her.

 

1. Meralco has threatend to sue them if they do not pay P90K for allegedlly tampering with the meter. Apparently, her family was told that the seal was broken hence tampered.

2. As far as the household members are concerned, they have not tampered the meter and that the seal was broken due to natural causes.

3. Our new member is now contemplating to become a psp just to pay off the 90K becuase she is afraid that they will go to jail should they fail to pay up.

 

For me, this is a great injustice to her. I have nothing againsts psps. But if a person left no option but to sell her body for a violation that is not proven beyond reasonable doubt, I strongly feel against her decision and beseech admirable MTC members who are part of the justice system to help our fellow members and save her from such injustice.

 

For details, please pm me.

 

Hoping for you support

Let Meralco sue them.

In the meantime, tell her to get a lawyer na just in case Meralco does sue them.

Cases like these often get settled amicably naman e.

And I predict Meralco will cut off their service too. Unfair, yes, just realistic.

meron po bang makakapag advice sakin on what to do? kasi i do have stalker.. bakla sya from Austria.. gumagastos sya para daw i-under surveylance ako at send nya ako ng mga messages from the internet thru my cellphone at pinag babantaan nya ang buhay ko at ng family ko.. sana po may maka usap ako regarding this.. maraming maraming salmat po.

[mamangtindero]

sa lahat ng Lawyers who may have answers to this:

 

Meron po kasi ako dating hinuhulugan na rowhouse sa bacoor, Cavite then, nung mawalan ako ng trabaho, natigil yung pagbabayad ko. May katagalan na rin akong hindi nakakapagbayad.

 

Binabayaran ko siya noon sa Asiatrust bank. Bale, ang sistema, binayaran siya ng bangko sa developer tapos ako ngayon ang nagbabayad sa bangko. Mahigit po sa 2 years ko siyang binayaran sa bangko.

 

Last year, tinawagan ako ng Asiatrust tungkol sa mga arears ko, and they are telling me na forfeited na raw ung property na binabayaran ko kasi nga hindi na ako updated sa pagbabayad at kung gusto ko raw, bayaran ko ng P120 thousand ung property pero ang sabi ko, wala akong ganoon kalaking pera, so ang sabi ni bangko, ibebenta na raw po yung property. Lately nalaman ko na lang may nagpapagawa na dun sa bahay. Tinawagan ko po ung bangko at sinabi ko sa kanila na wala akong natanggap na notice of cancellation galing sa kanila, so sabi ko illegal ung pagbebenta nila ng property.

 

Tama po ba?

 

Meron pa po ba akong habol sa mga naibayad ko na as far as Maceda Law is concern?

 

Baka pwede naman po ninyo akong mabigyan ng further information sa kung ano ang habol ko at sa kung ano pa ang pwede kong gawin kung may mahahabol pa ako.

 

Maraming salamat po sa lahat. Mabuhay kayo!

Sa mga kababayan natin na abugado.. hihingi lang po sana ako ng payo.. Regarding po ito sa aksidente ng Tricycle Driver namin.. nabangga iyong tricycle namin at iyong pasahero na sakay nya ay naputulan ng tatlong daliri sa paa. Sa madaling salita, bilang may-ari po ng tricycle, bumayad po ako ng 30,000 pesos doon sa ospital para magamot iyong daliri nya sa paa.. pagkatapos, bilang ako ay operator at may-ari ng tricycle, nahingi sa akin ng "Lifetime Pension" iyong kamag-anak ng

biktima at nanakot na kapag hindi daw ako nagbigay ay ilalaban nila ng kaso sa korte.. Tama po ba iyon? ano po ba ang dapat na ibayad ko sa kanila bilang may-ari ng tricycle. Ang alam ko po sa ganito ay iyong insurance ng Tricycle ang nasagot sa biktima, nagmagandang loob na lang po ako na ako na ang gumastos sa ospital, pero ngayon ay parang ako ang pinapalabas na may kasalanan at dapat magbayad.. At ang balak pa ay humingi sa akin ng limang (5) tricycle iyong biktima.. Matulungan nyo po sana ako sa suliranin kong ito.. Handa naman po akong magbayad kung ano po iyong naaayon sa batas pero hindi naman po siguro nararapat ang "Lifetime Pension" para sa tatlong daliri sa paa na aksidente naman po ang lahat ng pangyayari.. Umaasa po ako sa inyong kasagutan.. Maraming Salamat po in advance..

No worries.

Bayad ka na sa liability mo.

 

Let them sue you; wala na naman silang basis for any charge against you e.

Not even for damages.

If at all, they are criminally liable for grave coercion.

 

Yes, usually, dapat insurance ang magbayad nyan -- kung may insurance.

Pag wala, yung owner ng vehicle.

Pero sinagot mo na nga ang actual damages e.

 

And I don't see how they can make you liable for lost future income ng victim, unless kelangan niya sa trabaho niya ang tatlong toes na nawala.

The pertinent law here is the Family Code, to wit:

 

Art. 210. Parental authority and responsibility may not be renounced or transferred except in the cases authorized by law.

 

Art. 211. The father and the mother shall jointly exercise parental authority over the persons of their common children. In case of disagreement, the father's decision shall prevail, unless there is a judicial order to the contrary.

 

Children shall always observe respect and reverence towards their parents and are obliged to obey them as long as the children are under parental authority.

 

Art. 212. In case of absence or death of either parent, the parent present shall continue exercising parental authority. The remarriage of the surviving parent shall not affect the parental authority over the children, unless the court appoints another person to be the guardian of the person or property of the children.

 

Art. 213. In case of separation of the parents, parental authority shall be exercised by the parent designated by the Court. The Court shall take into account all relevant considerations, especially the choice of the child over seven years of age, unless the parent chosen is unfit.

 

Art. 214. In case of death, absence or unsuitability of the parents, substitute parental authority shall be exercised by the surviving grandparent. In case several survive, the one designated by the court, taking into account the same consideration mentioned in the preceding article, shall exercise the authority.

 

So pag wala dito ang isa, sa naiwang asawa ang mga anak.

Pwedeng ma-suspend ang parental authority pero I don't think they will apply to your case.

Hindi kasi enough ang financial reason lang to deprive a mother of custody over her children.

 

Art. 231. The court in an action filed for the purpose in a related case may also suspend parental authority if the parent or the person exercising the same:

 

(1) Treats the child with excessive harshness or cruelty;

(2) Gives the child corrupting orders, counsel or example;

 

(3) Compels the child to beg; or

 

(4) Subjects the child or allows him to be subjected to acts of lasciviousness.

 

The grounds enumerated above are deemed to include cases which have resulted from culpable negligence of the parent or the person exercising parental authority.

 

If the degree of seriousness so warrants, or the welfare of the child so demands, the court shall deprive the guilty party of parental authority or adopt such other measures as may be proper under the circumstances.

A and B are first cousins, they got married. After a year, A leave B then married C without final judgement of nullity of the previous marriage.

What is the standing of the marriage of A and B? What is the standing of the marriage of A and C?

Ans. A and B’s marriage is void ab initio. A and C’s marriage is VALID.

A and B’s marriage, being void from the beginning (against public policy art 38) does not give any impediment to the marriage of A and C. The provision on Art 40 that there must be a final judgement on the nullity of the previous marriage are only for purposes of remarriage on VOIDABLE marriage only, thus, not needed on a marriage void ab initio.

Nothing in the Family Code says that a marriage shall be void from the beginning when there is no final judgement on a void ab initio marriage. The only marriages which is void ab initio is stipulated on Art 35, 36, 37 and 38. Tama po ba??

 

Pareho po ba ang Anullment at absolute nullity of marriage? o may pagkakaiba po yun? ang word ba na anullment means voidable? ang word ba na absolute nullity of marriage is void ab initio? naguguluhan kasi ako dun eh. Ano po ba ang laymans term para sa Void, Voidable and void ab initio? Do a couple really needs to have a declaration of nullity of marriage even though the previous marriage of either one of them is VOID from the very beginning? paano kung kasal na sila tulad ni A and C, eh di naapektuhan yung marriage nila nun? di na VALID? For educational purposes lang po.. THANKS.

[rocco69]

A and B are first cousins, they got married. After a year, A leave B then married C without final judgement of nullity of the previous marriage.

What is the standing of the marriage of A and B?

 

Answer:

Ito po ay walang bisa mula pa sa simula (void ab initio). Ayon sa Art. 38(1) ng Family Code, ipinagbabawal ang kasal sa pagitan ng mag-pinsang buo (dahil sila ay relatives within the 4th degree of consanguinity). Ang kasal sa malalapit na kamag-anak ay di sang-ayon sa pampublikong patakaran

 

What is the standing of the marriage of A and C?

 

Answer:

Ito rin po ay walang bisa. Ayon sa pagpapaliwanag ng Korte Suprema, hindi pwede na ang mag-asawa mismo ang basta-basta lang magdedesisyon kung may bisa o walang bisa ang kanilang kasal. Ito ay trabaho ng korte (Landicho v. Relova). Sa ngayon, pag wala pang desisyon mula sa korte na nagpapawalang-bisa sa unang kasal, ang anumang kasal na papasukin nung tao ay walang bisa din (Mercado vs. Tan, August 1, 2000; Bobis vs. Bobis, 336 SCRA 747; Wiegel vs. Sempio-Diy, 143 SCRA 499).

 

Nothing in the Family Code says that a marriage shall be void from the beginning when there is no final judgement on a void ab initio marriage. The only marriages which is void ab initio is stipulated on Art 35, 36, 37 and 38. Tama po ba??

 

Answer:

Hindi rin tutoo na walang sinasabi ang Family Code tunkol sa pagkawalang bisa nung pangalawang kasal dahil ito ay bumabagsak sa Article 35(6). Kung walang declarasyun ang korte, wala kang maipaparehistro sa ilalim ng Art. 52 ng Family Code. kung kaya't void di yung kasal.

 

Pareho po ba ang Anullment at absolute nullity of marriage? o may pagkakaiba po yun? ang word ba na anullment means voidable? ang word ba na absolute nullity of marriage is void ab initio?

 

Answer:

 

Hindi pareho. Ang annulment ay ang proseso para dun sa mga kasal na "voidable" (Ito yung kasal na may depekto sa requirements ng kasal [kapasidad ng ikinakasal at pagpayag sa kasal]). Pag nagdeklara ang korte na walang bisa ang kasal, yun ang sinasabi nating absolute nullity na nung kasal. Alalahanin mo lang na dalawang klase ang walang bisang kasal, yung voidable at yung void ab initio. Yung void ab initio, pag dineklara ng korte na walang bisa mula sa simula, parang never na nakasal yung dalawa (dahil wala nga siyang bisa mula sa simula). Yung voidable, pag dineklara na ng korte na walang bisa, absolute nullity pero dahil ito ay voidable lang, may bisa ito nung di pa naidedeklara na walang bisa. Sabi nga sa una, ang annulment ay tumutukoy sa "voidable" marriage, habang "declaration of nullity" naman ang para sa kasal na void ab initio.

 

Do a couple really needs to have a declaration of nullity of marriage even though the previous marriage of either one of them is VOID from the very beginning? paano kung kasal na sila tulad ni A and C, eh di naapektuhan yung marriage nila nun? di na VALID?

 

Answer:

 

As a general rule, yes. Ayun nga sa desisyun ng Korte Suprema, bago magpakasal ang isang taong kasal na, dapat muna siyang kumuha ng deklarasyun mula sa korte na walang bisa ang kanyang unang kasal. Ang magagawa na lang ni A and C ay magpakasal uli.

 

Ayun kay Justice Vitug, hindi naman saklaw ng rule na ito ang mga kasal na walang presumptive validity (tulad halimbawa ng shooting sa isang sine ng kasal ng dalawang artista dun, di na kailangang pumunta sa korte dahil yun naman ay sa sine lang, o di kaya yung kasal sa "marriage booth" pag School Fair)

Article 40,

 

A and B are first cousins, they got married. After a year, A leave B then married C without final judgement of nullity of the previous marriage.

What is the standing of the marriage of A and B? What is the standing of the marriage of A and C?

Ans. A and B’s marriage is void ab initio. A and C’s marriage is VALID.

A and B’s marriage, being void from the beginning (against public policy art 38) does not give any impediment to the marriage of A and C. The provision on Art 40 that there must be a final judgement on the nullity of the previous marriage are only for purposes of remarriage on VOIDABLE marriage only, thus, not needed on a marriage void ab initio.

Nothing in the Family Code says that a marriage shall be void from the beginning when there is no final judgement on a void ab initio marriage. The only marriages which is void ab initio is stipulated on Art 35, 36, 37 and 38. Tama po ba??

[rocco69]

As far ar Republic Act No. 6552 is concerned, you should be entitled to 50% of the installment payments you have made. Likewise, before they can cancel your contract to buy, you must be notified of the cancellation by a notarized notice of cancellation and by payment to you of the 50% cash surrender value. Kung wala yun, walang bisa dapat yung pagbenta nila sa iba nung lupa.

 

My only problem is, without looking at the documents between you and the bank, di tayo nakakasiguro talaga kung ano ang relationship nyo ng bank at kungt ano ang provisions ng contract nyo. My advise is: get all the necessary documents and consult a lawyer, para di ka gumastos, pwede kang pumunta sa Integrated Bar of the Philippines dun sa munisipyo o city na tinitirhan mo. Puwede ka ring pumunta sa Public Attorney's Office (tanong ka sa pinakamalapit na Hall of Justice kung saan ang mga ito)
