hi! ask ko lang po if natapos na po ang kaso and 2 years d pa rin po nagbabayad akusado, di pa po ba late para ipasheriff? Bukod po sa pagbabayad ng moral damages need pa po nya makulong for 2 yrs, pero nagawan nila ng paraan at magrereport na lang akusado every month, may way din po ba namacheck namin kung talagang natapos nya 2 yrs na magrereport sya sa police? Malakas kasi yung akusado sa mtc branch na yun kaya kami lagi dehado. Thanks in advance po.

1. di pa po ba late para ipasheriff?

 

Di pa.

 

Ang problema nyo, may ari-arian ba ang tao na yan na mahihila para ipambayad sa daños na naka-award sa inyo. bago lumapit sa sheriff, dapat may maituturo na kayong properties o bank accounts na nakapangalan sa akusado na maaaring mahila ng sheriff, otherwise baka nagsasayang lang kayo ng oras at pera

 

2. may way din po ba namacheck namin kung talagang natapos nya 2 yrs na magrereport sya sa police?

 

hindi yan nagre-report sa pulis. sa ilalim ng batas, ang isang taong na-convict ng krimen, kapag ang sentensya niya ay 6 na taon na pagkakulong pababa, at ito ang unang pagkakataon na siya ay masentensyahan (disqualified ang repeat offenders para sa probation), maaari siyang mag-apply ng probation, kung saan di ka makukulong pero buwan-buwan, magrereport ka sa Parole and Probation Administration. ito ang nangyari sa kaso ninyo (ang sabi nyo nakahain ang kaso sa MTC, ang pinakamataas na sentensya na maaaring ipataw ng MTC ay 6 na taon, kaya siguradong nag-probation ang mokong na yan).

 

magtanong kayo sa MTC kung natapos niya yung 2-years probation ng maayos, kasi binibigyan ang court ng kopya ng reports (ang problema nyo lang, confidential ang probation records). subukan nyo na rin.

A friend is toying with the idea.. Wonder about legal implications of benefiting from a sale of precious metals.

 

What if he negotiates for such sale between one who found a certain amount of metal and an authorized dealer?

 

Would he be questioned later if he starts investing in say, treasury bills/bonds, real estate, etc?

 

Are there implications for not selling directly to a government agency like BSP?

 

you're worried about AMLA implications? if the transaction is above board and covered by valid commercial agreements, no worries. just pay the correct taxes.

boss may question lang po ako regarding increase sa salary, according po tama lang po ba na performance based and increase at discretion ng company kung how much ang appraisal ng isang employee depending sa performance nya

[rocco69]

Yup, tawag diyan "management prerogative." so long as your current salary is on or above the minimum wage, any increase not mandated by law is the prerogative of mgt. Kung di mo gusto ang sistema ng kumpanya, you can always resign and look somewhere else.

Good day. Meron lang po sana akong mga katanungan na nais ko sanang maliwanagan..

1.) we signed a contract as 'consultants'

> maari nyo po bang iddifferentiate ang 'consultant' status sa 'employee' status? Benefits? Anong rules ng company ang sumasaklaw po sa mga 'consultants'?

2.) as 'consultants', can the management mandate us to attend seminars, workshops, christmas parties etc or is it our prerogative?

3.) as 'consultants', maari pa po ba kmeng magtrabaho sa labas aside from this company?

4.) as 'consultants', kailangan po ba namin magfile muna ng written leave of absence kahit eto ay isa o dalawang araw lamang?

5.) as 'consultants', maari po ba naming makuha kagad ang aming salary o kelangan namin hintayin ang management kung kelan neto irrelease?

 

Maraming salamat po sa inyong pagtugon..

[bonito99]

what are the terms in the contract that you signed?

 

look into the nature of your company's business and nature of your job.

 

check into the company handbook as well.

i would like to ask sana if there is really a law here in the philippines that suggests the release of detainees that serve 10years in jail without a case resolution?

 

i have a relative that has been detained in a city jail for almost 10 yrs now, all cases filled against still has no final resolution. and someone told me that if naka10 yrs na sa jail ang detainee, without any conviction, should be released na.

 

pls shed some light for me on this item.

[bonito99]

speedy trial act.

[Deathwish]

can you expound more on the coverage of his act sir bonito...

 

here are some of the details i can provide.

 

my relative has 3 Syndicated estafa case filed against her, trials are on going, but trial schedules only proceeds to about 10 hearings a year or less.

for the past 10 yrs of hearings there is still no final resolution, all petitions for bail is denied, she is now detained for 9yrs and 10months in total

[moridins79]

Under the Speedy Trial Act (or Rep. Act. No. 8493), a time period for trial is provided. It requires that the entire trial period not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the first day of trial. However, in Tan v. People of the Philippines, G.R. No. 173637 [21 April 2009], the Supreme Court laid down the principles when the right to speedy trial can be invoked,

 

“In determining the right of an accused to speedy trial, courts are required to do more than a mathematical computation of the number of postponements of the scheduled hearings of the case. A mere mathematical reckoning of the time involved is clearly insufficient, and particular regard must be given to the facts and circumstances peculiar to each case.

 

xxx

 

"Moreover, although periods for trial have been stipulated, these periods are not absolute. Where periods have been set, certain exclusions are allowed by law. After all, this Court and the law recognize that it is but a fact that judicial proceedings do not exist in a vacuum and must contend with the realities of everyday life. In spite of the prescribed time limits, jurisprudence continues to adopt the view that the fundamentally recognized principle is that the concept of speedy trial is a relative term and must necessarily be a flexible concept."

what's the status of the cases?

 

all cases are still on pending status, one has changed the judge AGAIN, the others waiting for hearing schedules,

[moridins79]

what stage na yung cases? after 10 years, malamang defense na. kung ganun, delay could be attributable sa accused.
