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 po sa reply....kung pwede pa po ng follow-up question...kinukulit ako ng kasamahan ko:

 

1. If the post-dated cheques were from an international bank here in uae, and we try to cash it from the philippine branch, would it then be more valid case in the Philippines?

 

2. There are other nationalities involved. How can we then tap interpol? Sino po ba ang aaction yung interpol dito o yung nasa pinas?

 

3. Usually po, how long will that take? (file in DOJ, get a hold departure order...)

I believe this is a very complicated case and will take lots of time to resolve. Even you succeed, I don't think you will be able to recover what you have lost. To get even with this person, know his/her whereabouts, hire a hitman then finish her/him. People of this kind should be eliminated in this world.

 

 

As much as possible po kasi we want to exhaust every legal means at our disposal. Next probably is to contact media. Media pressure could be very effective.

Good day!

 

I would just want to seek advice regarding my case. I filed a complaint to DTI-NCR and to the Baranggay Hall regarding a certain car repair shop who has done a terrible back job on my car. And since it's a back job, they would normally ask me to bring my car back to their shop. But for a lot of reasons, I already lost my trust on them. All I want now is for them to give back the money I paid thus, demanding for a full refund.The thing is, the Baranggay Hearing has been settled for three times already and yet none of those was being attended by them. I already informed the Baranggay that I want to settle this case to the Munucipal Hall already but they said that we should have at least one hearing for I could refer the case to the Municipal Hall. But what if, they don't have any plans of appearing, should I just keep on waiting? What would be next important step should I take right now?As to the DTI-NCR, I sent them the complaint through email. And told me to follow up after a week. It's been almost three weeks of following up and I guess getting through our Government Agencies is not that easy. Is there any other way I could do aside from paying a private lawyer or filing a civil case against the shop which I know would just take a decade? Thank you very much. Your opinions and advices are greatly appreciated. God Bless.

kung di pa rin sila mag-aattend sa baranggay, dapat ay bigyan ka na ng baranggay ng Certification to File Action dahil [pang-apat na beses na di sila uma-attend.

 

Pag nakuha mo na yung certification to file action, at kung di naman lalampas ng P100,00 ang hinahabol mo, pwede ka nang pumunta sa Municipal/Metropolitan Trial Court. Me bago ngayong sistema (Small Claims Cases) kung saan magfi-fill-up ka lang ng form, tapos walang abugado na humaharap, kayo lang ng nirereklamo mo, mas mabilis at madali, di ka pa magagastusan ng malaki (kung di lalampas ng P100T ang claim mo!). Ihanda mo lang ang mga ebidensya at testigo mo tungkol dun sa reklamo mo.

curious lang...

 

can i shoot someone who is trespassing? shoot first, then ask questions later. what if i saw a stranger sneaking around outside our house but inside our gated property? or even worse, what if he were inside our house? would it make a difference?

[rocco69]

1. can i shoot someone who is trespassing?

 

ayon sa Supreme Court mismo, ang defense of property ay maaaring gamiting katwiran "only when it is coupled with an attack on the person of one entrusted with such property"

(People v. Apolinar, 38 OG 2870). Lumalabas, di mo pwedeng basta na lamang barilin ang isang trespasser.

 

Alalahanin mo rin na kailangang katamtaman o rasonable lamang ang gagamitin mong paraan sa pag-tanggol ng ari-arian mo. Hindi rasonable na barilin mo agad ang isang trespasser.

 

2. what if he were inside our house? would it make a difference?

 

pareho pa rin ang prinsipyong namamayani dito. Rasonable ba na barilin mo agad ang taong yun? Sinasalakay o nilulusob ka na ba niya? Kung oo, ayun, pwede mo siyang barilin. Kung hindi naman, baka ikaw pa ang makulong sa salang homicide.

 

Ang gawin mo, magbaon ka ng balisong. Pagkatapos mong barilin, ilagay mo sa kanyang kamay tapos sabihin mo akyat-bahay at sinasaksak ka na kaya ka napilitang mamaril (joke only he he he).

pwede, its just a matter of producing evidence to make it seem that you were protecting ur family from bodily harm. pagkatpos mo barilin, bigyan mo ng black eye ang katulong mo para palabasing "self help" lang ang ginawa mo

ur predicament is well taken. syemps, pera mo yan. but the thing is, legally u have a recourse, practically, di recommended. ull need legal assistance on that which could entail bigger amounts... so not worth lang.

 

MATLOO: it seems u have to bear with the corporate delays on that.

Hi there! I'm here again to ask for my next step regarding my case. I already got a baranggay clearance and DTI told me to wait for the "hearing". The complaint I have submitted them is still under assesment as of now, according to them and that they will inform me when the hearing schedule will be. As I've learned from you that once I get the baranggay clearance, I can go to the Municipal Hall already. My question is... how about the DTI? shoould I wait for their schedule or proceed already to the Municipal Hall. If I were to do the latter, would there will be any conflict? Would the DTI or Municipal Hall reject my case once they know that I'm working two ways here?

 

Thank you and God Bless!
