Merger of companies will results in layoffs. One of the authorized causes for laying off is redundancy. But there is a DOLE process to follow and there will be severance pay.

 

About reduction of salaries, is touchy. But normally allowed by the law if the requirements are met. It is not outright illegal to reduce salaries if there is justification.

Thanks for the reply..... Pano kung alang justification?? tapos ung process na pinatutupad ng DOLE hindi sinusunod??? aside from PAO meron pbng matatkbuhan mga maliliit n kagaya namin... you knw naman bigger companies sanay sa matagalan labanan hanggang maubos n budget m... un eh given n sa atin pero marami p din kasong ganun na kokonti lng tumatagal.... -_-

Do I have the right to demand for support since she is still his daughter?

 

Yes.

 

 

Thanks Sir Rocco69. How do I start, where do I start and I'm at a loss as to how to go about it. I tried to settle things amicably pero puro empty words lang binibigay sakin dahil nga ang katwiran nung ex ko, hindi naman naka-pangalan sa kanya ang bata at wala sa poder nila. Tapos maayos na usapan lang daw ang pwede since walang record of his name anywhere indicating that he is indeed the father. I have never received anything from him for our daughter. But I want to start collecting what's rightfully due to my child.

 

I do not know how much it will cost me to get a lawyer and I do not know which laywer to approach. Ayoko pong mabiktima ng pretenders. Do you have recos I can talk to? Sir what I mean is if there is a laywer in the gravepine that has provided the best service for scenarios such as mine na hindi mashadong exorbitant ang fee. Thanks so much and I appreciate your time.

you have two options - either a civil case for support; or criminal cases for child abuse (failure to support one's child could fall into "other forms of child abuse, punished under Republic Act 7610) or violation of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children [Republic Act 9262]).

 

In both instances, I'd say you need to have a formal demand letter sent [and received] by your ex, so you have proof that he has refused to pay for support.

 

You will also need to prove that, indeed, the child is a child of your ex (this can be done in the course of the proceedings, by asking the Court for the conduct of a DNA test).

 

As you yourself have intimated, you need to talk to a lawyer about these matters. Ask your family and friends about a lawyer they can recommend to handle this matter. When they do recommend a lawyer' you can ask the following questions (culled from www.lawyers-bc.com), to ensure that you get competent legal assistance. Remember, if you are not comfortable with the lawyer, you can always decline his services:

 

About the Lawyer

 

1. How long have you been practising law?

 

2. What is your experience in this practice area?

 

3. Have you handled any cases like mine? What was the outcome?

 

About Your Case

 

4. What are the possible outcomes of my case, and the chances of success?

 

5. What are the procedures involved in my case, and a rough time schedule for the different steps?

 

7. Approximately how long will it take to finalise?

 

8. What complications can arise in my case, and can they result in additional fees?

 

About Legal Fees

 

9. Do you have a written retainer letter or agreement?

 

10. How will you charge me for this case?

 

11. Will your rates change while you are handling my case? If so, how much notice will you give me?

 

12. Will any junior lawyers or legal assistants be working on my case?

 

13. What kind of disbursements will there be?

 

14. Assuming that there are no complications, what is the range of the possible fees, disbursements, and taxes? Can you give me a firm quote for fees and/or disbursements?

 

15. When will you bill me?

 

About the Work on Your Case

 

16. How will you keep me informed about what is happening on my case?

 

17. Will you send me copies of letters that you receive and send out?

 

18. Will you return my phone calls the same day?

 

19. Do you use email or fax to communicate with me?

 

20. Who else in the office will be working on my case? Can I call them if I can't get hold of you?

...hindi OK na isetup mo siya at irerecord mo. ito ay violation ng Anti-Wiretapping Law (Republic Act 4200). kalalabasan niyan, imbes na ikaw ang may kaso, ikaw pa ang pwedeng kasuhan...

Ok 'tong thread na 'to ah. Marami ako natututunan.

 

While browsing, though, I've read your post quoted above, Sir rocco69. Out of curiosity lang... Kung labag sa Anti-Wiretapping Law yung pagre-record;

1. Hindi ba lumalabag din sa Anti-Wiretapping Law yung ginagawa ng mga media (e.g. XXX)?

2. Paano kung sa bahay mo mismo ni-record ang nangyari, hindi mo ba pwede i-record/gamiting ebidensya yun? (Via cellphone or surveillance cam, kung meron sa bahay.)

 

Again, out of curiosity lang. Kasi gawain kong mag-record ng conversation kapag meron akong mga complaints. Para kung worst-case scenario na magkademandahan, may ebidensya ako. So far, wala pa namang umaabot sa ganoon.

[rocco69]

1. Hindi ba lumalabag din sa Anti-Wiretapping Law yung ginagawa ng mga media (e.g. XXX)?

I'd say lumalabag sila. Sa ilalim ng Anti-Wiretapping Law, kailangan authorized ng lahat ng partido ang pagre-record. kapag walang authorization ng lahat ng partido, violation ng batas.

 

2. Paano kung sa bahay mo mismo ni-record ang nangyari, hindi mo ba pwede i-record/gamiting ebidensya yun? (Via cellphone or surveillance cam, kung meron sa bahay.)

ganun pa rin, kailangan me pahintulot ng lahat. tingnan mo yung kaso ng GSIS laban kay Cheche Lazaro.

hello everyone!

 

meron akong kakilala na gusto makipagbusiness pero informal lang. bale iiwan ko daw ang mga producto ko sa kanya at ipapakita nya ito sa mga estudyante nya (nag lelesson ng dance sa bahay nya at madami daw interesado sa produkto ko) ngayon natatakot ako baka kung ano mangyari sa produkto ko. paano ko masisigurado na may panghahawakan ako na panlaban kung sakali ay hindi niya ibalik ang produkto ko or baka magclaim sya na hindi naman ako nagbigay ng gamit na ganon sa kanya, mamahalin kasi yung mga gamit. jewelry sya. may contrata ba or legal document ako na pwede ipanotarize na nagsasaad na kaya iniwan ang gamit is para ibenta nya and pag binalik dapat in good condition at pag hindi nabalik ay babayaran nya ito?

[ConsistentlyInconsistent]

I worked for a jewelry shop before, ang gnagawa namin pag may consigned products, we make a notarized inventory of the products that we leave sa retailers. They have a POC that signed the receive form indicating that he/she will be liable for any losses or damages to the products. Kung ako po sa inyo, picturan nyo na lang ung mga alahas at yun ang iwan nyo sa instructor. Para walang sisihan kasi madali itakbo ang alahas di po ba? Besides, mas doble pa ang loss sa part nyo kung sakali naman po na ma-swindle kayo. Wala na nga ung product, naghahabol ka pa, nagbabayad ka pa kaliwa't kanan sa abogado at sa mga hahawak ng kaso para lang mapabilis. I would also suggest creating an online site for your products para pag may nag-request ng partnership, may ibibigay ka ng reference. It that's earnest and good business, mas favorable sa sides nyo ang ganung set up.

[snowman74]

salamat sayo consistently...oo nga manenegative talaga ako nyan pag mawala mga gamit ko sa akin. nakadagdag ka sa kaalaman ko.

Is there a specific law prohibiting employers to refuse employment for pregnant women? A friend of mine passed preliminary exams and interviews, then after 3 hours of waiting, the HR guy told her that they will not accept her for because she is pregnant.

 

Thanks

[jazon7099]

ung alam ko po e ung magna carta for women e hindi ka pwede alisin sa trabaho dhil ikaw ay nabuntis out of wedlock. pero pwede din cguro irefuse na tanggapin kung at the time of the application ay buntis na xa at sa nature ng work na inapplyan nya ay hindi din xa makakapagtrabaho ng maigi to the prejudice of the company.ex. kung ang trabaho pala nya na inapplyan e kargador, mason, or panggabi, etc. then pwede xa irefuse. apply na lng xa uli pag nakapanganak na cguro. just my two cents'.

mga bro or atorney help naman information about estafa case worth 350,000 how much ang bail, what to do if willing naman mag settle on a monthly payment for one year, whats the best thing to do and some in and out for this case...

 

thanks,

[rocco69]

depends on the kind of estafa (ang syndicated estafa ay non-bailable eh), although the amount of 350,000 would usually have bail set at 40T.

 

kung willing mag-settle, makipag-usap sa complainant para ma -settle na

[rocco69]

1. pwede pa ba bumaba yong bail?

 

pwede kayong mag-file ng Motion to Reduce Bail sa korte. Usually pumapayag ang korte ng reduction ng up to 50% ng recommended bail, kung mapapatunayan nyo na walang pambayad yung akusado. The proof usually required to be attached to the motion are a barangay certification of indigency, a certification from the BIR that the accused is a non-filer of Income Tax Returns (dahil mahirap nga lang), and a certification from the City/Municipal Assessor na wala siyang real property

 

2. need ba talaga mag bail?

 

hindi naman, choice nya kung gusto niyang nakakulong habang tumatakbo ang kaso

 

3. bakit nag rerelase o naglalabas nang warrant of arrest once na-file ang complaint?

 

dahil kalimitan, hindi pupunta ang akusado sa hukuman para harapin ang kaso laban sa kanya (suspected criminal nga siya eh, usually nagtatago ito). ang warrant ay para mapilitan yung akusado na humarap sa korte

 

4. in case di pumayag nang hulugan or installment yong complainant ano dapat gawin?

 

harapin ang kaso sa korte, ayaw magpa-areglo eh.

 

5. whats the in and out of estafa case?

 

the best talaga niyan, kumuha na kayo ng abugado nyo, mahirap pag-usapan ang ganyan ng hindi nakikita ang ebidensya laban sa kanya. mabigat din na kaso yan dahil sa laki ng halagang na-dispalko daw (20years imprisonment na ang penalty niyan).

magandang araw sa inyo, mga MTC legal consultants...

 

matagal kasi ako nawalan ng trabaho (approx 10months)...ngayon, naapektuhan ang pagbayad ko ng aking credit card.

 

kaya heto ngayon, nagpapadala na sila ng demand letter at kung anu-ano pang pananakot (i.e. litigation).

 

1) ano ba ang pwedeng maging consequence kung patuloy na hindi ko mabayaran ang utang/obligasyon ko sa credit card? makukulong ba ako?

 

 

sa ngayon, nagkaroon na ako ng trabaho at regular source of income

 

2)pwede ko bang sualtan/inform ang banko na ngayon pa lang ako naka-recover sa pagkawalan ko ng trabaho? pwede ba ako mag-declare na hindi ko pa kayang magbayad ngayon dahil ang kinikita ko ay sapat lang para sa mga pang-araw-araw na pangangailanga ko?

 

Maraming salamat sa inyong pagtugon
