He has to get a lawyer. He will have to file a civil case to annul the mortgage. The land was mortgaged by his brother without any authority and without his knowledge and consent. To bolster his case, he will also have to file a criminal case against his brother for Falsification of Public Documents.

Hi, i need to ask for some advise. My bf said he is in the process of annulling his marriage and according to him he filed it about 2 yrs ago. the thing is he said, that he doesnt have enough money to speed up the process. But i just want to know, is it possible for me to check if he really did file for an annullment case? If so, how? he's married in pasay city. i just need to know who should i contact or ask if there's really a pending annullment filed on his name.

 

I want to know the truth than to be played like a s@%t. He's been asking me to meet my family and all. Like he's really serious about "us". And i love him, i really do. But i need to know the truth. I admit i do have doubts, but i want to give him a fair trial. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt until i prove myself wrong.

 

I willing to give more details about him and how much will it cost me to check on this matter ASAP.

 

Thank you.

If you can find out which RTC Branch it was filed and even better the case docket number, it's simply a matter of going there and checking with the Clerk of Court on the status of the case.

Ask your bf on where did he file his annulment case... then go to the RTC of that place...proceed to the Office of the Clerk of Court...inquire if there is an annulment case filed, with your bf's name as petitioner...if they replied in the affirmative, ask for the docket number and to which branch it was raffled...go to the branch given by OCC, give the docket number then ask for the status of that case...

good luck!

First, my thanks for the reply, appreciate it.

 

If the only course to set things straight is to "file a petition to amend entry". Is it necessay na mother ang mag file? Kasi mother is out of country as of writing, pede ba mag execute sya SPA for the lola of baby? Pasencia na sa istorbo...

 

Thanks and pugay!

 

ang relief ba na hinahanap mo ay maging legitimate child ang anak ni lady friend at nang kanyang future hubby (pero hindi yung naka-preggy)? or i-amend ang birth certificate?

Greetings!

 

First Q: Ang relief na hinahanap nang friend ko na sana daw, legitimate ang anak niya, na ang apelyido is yung sa ama, kaya daw niya finorge yung pirma (with the consent of the partner na nakabuntis, na wala na intention pakasalan yung babae). As of now, wala pa yata balak pumasok uli ang lady friend into a relationship. ergo, wala pa future hubby.

 

Second Q: I-amend ang birth cert... Kasi, am thinking, valid ba yung birth cert na pinirmahan nya na forged? Common sense dictates na hindi dapat, sabi ko sa lady friend ko, tanggapin na lang nya na illegit ang bata, at dalhin ang apelyido nang babae. Kaysa naman palsipikado ang papeles nang bata. Tama po ba ang aking logic?

 

Salamat pong muli sa may interes sa aking mga katanungan, kundi po malinaw ang aking paliwanag, paumanhin po.

Hello Legal People,

 

I just want to ask if you can help me with my situation:

 

I'm an OFW in Dubai, UAE where a person loaned a large sum of money from me and promised to pay it back in 8 months, with monthly interest paid every month. Now, after 6 months, I found out that the person who loaned the money has gone from here to the Phils, and is now in hiding. He also owed a lot of money to other people.

 

My question is:

1 - How can we get him to pay us back?

2 - Can we file a criminal case against him in the Philippines?

3 - What can he do to counter our legal strategy?

 

A few pointers to the right direction lang po...Right now, I'm really lost on what to do. Thanks!

It can be filed by either the alleged father or the mother.

Since a birth certificate is a public document, its presumed valid until proven otherwise.

Missiosnary:

 

1. if the loan is documented you can file it here in the Philippines even if it was contracted abroad, if not then leave it to the merines... it will be very difficult for you to recover your money.

 

2. NO. You cannot file a criminal case against him the criminal act itself was not commmitted here in our jurisdiction

 

3. He will just hide and nothing more... after 10 years it will be impossible for you to collect that amount

 

To get even:

 

1. locate his where abouts and let him sign a promissory note or mortgage his property if he has any...how you will let him sign thats another problem may be you can adopt some metalegal or extra legal means...

 

So next time:

 

Dont be fooled... if ever a kababayan requests a loan be sure to have a full security for your money. real estate mortgage of property here in the Philipines will do.

Sir Salamat po sa reply...follwup questions lang po:

 

1. The loan was documented, we have contracts & post-dated cheques. Does that mean we can file it as a criminal case in the Philippines?

2. If the loan exceeds 300k USD wouldn't interpol be involved? How much amount is needed for them to be?

3. What about a hold-departure order...can we avail of that just from preventing him from leaving?

 

 

Thanks po again in advance...oh one more thing

does anyone know a good private investigator who can track him down? good pay.

we need to find this guy desperately.

1. In order for Philippine courts to have jurisdiction, some aspects of the crime must be performed or executed here in the Philippines, or inside Philippine territory. Hence, if the documents were notarized by the Philippine consulate, or the banks where the cheques were drawn, or your depository bank are Filipino banks or branches of foreign banks here in the Philippines, then your criminal case may be filed in the Philippines.

 

2. Interpol may be tapped if the crime has international consequences, involving states, or various nationalities are involved. Since the parties in your case seems to be all Filipinos, then interpol might not interfere.

 

3. You have to file the case with the DOJ first and then if they find probable cause and file it in Court, then you can ask for a Hold Departure Order with the Court where the criminal case/s have been filed.

Salamat nang marami sa inyong lahat. You ladies and gents are more than helpful to those who needs you most, as I am sure you are aware of it.

 

Follow up Q, hopefully it will be the last... since you have stated that it is presumed valid, until proven otherwise... would it be wiser to AMEND (file change of entry) it before it can be proven (or not). Para at least sigurado na, and that would give the party, peace of mind.

 

Pugay!
