If ever ba na bumalik ung biological father ng kid ko na umiwan samin since the start, wala naman na siguro siyang habol noh?

[jacksilva16]

There's always a possibility na magfile siya ng custody case. I'd like to think though na slim ang chance niya not unless he had a change of heart and he can prove na worthy and capable siya as a father.

 

In the end, the court will consider this: "the physical, educational, social and moral welfare of the child, taking into account the respective resources and social and moral situations of the contending parties."

Way back kasi he texted me like, pwede ba daw mahiram for a week lang daw. Etc. Etc. Meron pa siyang apology and marriage proposal. Hahahaha. Asa pa.

 

Anyway, i told him, get an educational plan up to college (he and his family is wealthy. They have 5 petron station probably more by now but he is currently out of tthe country since then). Nagalit si gago. Hahahaha. Yan daw hirap sakin etc. Etc.

 

Sinagot ko na lang ng haha eh.

sir rocco, good evening. nag back read ako ng inadvise mo sakin 5 years ago.

 

Bukas na kasi magkakaharap harap sa barangay about dun sa tinanong ko sa inyo tungkol sa Right of Way.

 

Binasa ko ulet at nagbasa din ako ng Article 649-651. Maraming salamat po.

 

Pag hindi po nagkasundo sa Barangay, may posibilidad pa bang umabot sa korte?

 

Maraming salamat po!!!

 

Sa iba pong makakatulong sakin bukod kay sir rocco, maraming salamat din po!

 

 

Eto po ay tungkol sa isang compound, na may tig 106sqm ang dalawang nasa harap at tig 107sqm naman ang dalawang nasa likod.

 

Meron na po sila noon na 1m width na daanan, at nag reklamo sila na lakihan ito. Pumayag na sila noon na gawing 2m ang width. Pero nung nalaman nila na bawal mag tinda, namerwisyo na lamang at nirequest na gawing 4m and width ng right of way.

 

Ang request nila na gawing 4m ang width ay naka base sa lumang blueprint ng compound na may nakalagay na 'perpetual right of way'. Nilalaban nila na ibalik sa dati. Ang kaso lamang po dun sa blueprint na may 'perpetual right of way' eh dalawa lamang ang naka pirma sa present na may ari (tagapag mana) Yung isang tiyuhin ko na nasa likod.

 

Hindi naka pirma ng tatay ko, dahil noong ginawa ang blueprint ay menor de edad pa lang at yung tiyahin ko, na hindi rin naka pirma doon.

Ang function ng barangay ay ipagkasundo kayo. Kung hindi ito magtagumpay, ang option ng partido na ang pakiramdam ay agrabyado siya ay ang pumunta sa korte (kung sumusunod ito sa legal, may ilan naman kasi, dadaanin sa puwersa, pananakot, etc.).

 

Kaya ang sagot sa katanungan mo ay OO, malaking posibilidad na dalhin ang asunto sa korte. Kung may panggastos sila, maaaring mapunta kayo sa korte, at pera lang naman ang kailangan para makakuha ng abugado.

Magandang Araw! Nasama ang aking anak na 7 years old sa isang aksidente sa loob ng mall. Habang patakbo, papunta sa likod ko, ang aking anak, hindi sinasadyang nagkabanggaan sila ng isang food cart staff (na tumatakbo ng malibis). Pagkaharap ko, nakita ko ang anak kong nakatayo agad mula sa pagkakabagsak niya, habang ang staff ay nagmamadali din tumayo. Bilang ama, tinignan ko muna ang aking anak sa anumang injuries. sa awa ng Diyos, nagkaroon lang siya ng kaunting gasgas. Sunod kong tinignan ang nakabangga niya, nagkaroon ito ng cut sa kaliwang mata na nagresulta ng bleeding (dahil ito sa paghampas ng kanyang mukha sa flooring). Dinala kaagad siya sa first aid station ng mall at kinuha ko ang kanyang contact number para kamustahin siya from time-to-time. Ang tanong ko dito ay: (1) Mayroon ba kaming liability sa taong injured? (2) May participation ba ang mall management sa ganitong incident? (3)Nais kong magbigay tulong sa nasugatan, maari ba niya itong gamitin sa laban sa akin? Na maari niyang sabihin na "guilty" ako kaya ko ito ginagawa?

 

Maraming salamat sa tutugon.

(3)Nais kong magbigay tulong sa nasugatan, maari ba niya itong gamitin sa laban sa akin? Na maari niyang sabihin na "guilty" ako kaya ko ito ginagawa?

 

Maraming salamat sa tutugon.

(1) Mayroon ba kaming liability sa taong injured?

 

Ayon sa Article 221 ng Family Code:

 

Art. 221. Parents and other persons exercising parental authority shall be civilly liable for the injuries and damages caused by the acts or omissions of their unemancipated children living in their company and under their parental authority subject to the appropriate defenses provided by law.

 

Klaro. Magulang ang sasagot sa danyos na naidulot ng kanilang menor-de-edad na anak.

 

Ngunit, subalit, datapwat... ito ay kung ang menor-de-edad ang may kasalanan. Sa kuwento mo, maaaring masabi na walang kasalanan yung bata, at sa mall ay maraming tao, expected na mag-ingat ang mga naglalakad sa karamihan. Mas lalo na ang nabangga ay nasa wastong gulang na.

 

(2) May participation ba ang mall management sa ganitong incident?

 

Kung ang insidente ay hindi maiuugnay sa kapabayaan o kamalian sa panig ng mall management, hindi sila maisasama sa usapin. sa kwento mo, banggaan lang ng dalawang tao, di natin masasabi na kasama ang mall mgt. sa ganitong pangyayari.

 

(3)Nais kong magbigay tulong sa nasugatan, maari ba niya itong gamitin sa laban sa akin? Na maari niyang sabihin na "guilty" ako kaya ko ito ginagawa?

 

Ayon sa Section 27 ng Rule 130, Rules of Court:

 

Sec. 27. Offer of compromise not admissible. – In civil cases, an offer of compromise is not an admission of any liability, and is not admissible in evidence against the offeror.

In criminal cases, except those involving quasi-offenses (criminal negligence) or those allowed by law to be compromised, an offer of compromise by the accused may be received in evidence as an implied admission of guilt.

 

Ang importante, kung magbibigay ng tulong, ipagdiinan mo na ito ay HINDI PAG-AMIN NA MAY KASALANAN KAYO o NA UMAAMIN KAYO NG KAMALIAN. Pagmatigasan ninyo na ito ay tulong lamang para maayos ang gusot sa pagitan ng mga partido, HINDI NA UMAAMIN KAYO NA MAY OBLIGASYON KAYO SA KANILA. Ito ang Offer of Compromise na nasasakop ng Sec. 27

Maraming Salamat, Sir Rocco69! Mabuhay Kayo!

hello all mtc lawyers and affiliates,

 

So i just inherited some land from my grandparents. around 5 hectares worth so i know it's worth some money. when i went to survey the place, i was introduced to the caretaker that's been living on the land for the last 20+ years. Now that the land is being transferred to me, I would like to ask him to pack up his things and leave. He has been using the land for his own personal farming and has been paying a small amount to my grandparents at the beginning of each month. However, my relative have been telling me that i must either, 1. give him a small portion of the land or 2. pay him a large amount of money in order for him to leave. but i'm thinking is that he was using land that was not his in the first place to support himself and his family for all these years. i feel like that should be compensation enough. are there actual laws that require me to pay him or give him land? thanks all

1. First things first... how did you inherit the land? (unang gagawin ng caretaker, tatanungin - ano ang karapatan mo sa lupa?)

 

i. Kung sa pamamagitan ng will, ayon sa Art. 838 ng Civil Code, "[n]o will shall pass either real or personal property unless it is prove and allowed in accordance with the Rules of Court."

 

Ang ibig lang sabihin nito, bago magamit ang will na basehan ng pagmamana, kailangan aprubahan muna ito ng korte. Hangga't di ito dumadaan sa korte, di mo maaaring sabihin na namana mo na yung lupa. In other words, pwedeng pagmatigasan ng caretaker na wala kang karapatan na mag-astang may-ari.

 

ii. Kung walang will, kailangan meron kang extra-judicial settlement na pirmado ng lahat ng tagapagmana, kung saan nagkakasundo na yung lupa ang parte mo sa mana (ibig sabihin patay na ang magulang mo at tumatayo ka sa kanilang kapakanan).

 

iii. Kung walang will at buhay pa ang iyong magulang, ibig sabihin binibigay ng mga tagapagmana sa iyo ang lupa. Kailangan meron kang Deed of Donation, nakasulat, notaryado.

 

iv. Kung walang will, at walang kasunduan (extra-judicial settlement) sa mga tagapagmana, kailangan may Court Order ka na hawak kung saan ibinabahagi sa iyo ng hukuman yung lupa (resulta ng paghahabla for partition or for settlement of estate).

 

v. Kung buhay pa ang grandparents mo, hindi ito inheritance. You'd still need a notarized Deed of Donation.

 

ANDAMI PALANG IISIPIN ANO!

 

 

2. Assuming na ikaw na nga ang may-ari ng lupa, and that you have documentary evidence supporting your claim of ownership... ANG PROBLEMA MO land reform!

 

Ayon sa batas, ang agricultural tenant ay may security of tenure, in other words hindi basta-basta napapalayas ang nagsasaka sa lupa mo.

 

Para maging agricultural tenant, kailangang present ang sumusunod:

 

1) the parties are the landowner and the tenant or agricultural lessee;

2) the subject matter of the relationship is agricultural land;

3) there is consent between the parties to the relationship;

4) the purpose of the relationship is to bring about agricultural production;

5) there is personal cultivation on the part of the tenant or agricultural lessee; and

6) the harvest is shared between the landowner and the tenant or agricultural lessee.

 

Sa pagbabasa ng kuwento mo, lahat ng elements na ito ay present.

1) Your grandparents were the landowners, the caretaker is their tenant

2) the 5-hectare property appears to be agricultural land

3) your grandparents consented to the relationship, the caretaker having been there for the past 20+ years without protest on their part

4) one of the purposes why the tenant is there is for farming, as he has been farming the land

5) the caretaker has been personally cultivating the land

6) he pays a small amount monthly to your grandparents for the use of the land.

 

Kung tenant siya, di mo na siya mapapalayas unless there is a ground for his eviction (failure to comply with terms of contract, use for purposes other than that agreed upon, non-payment of rentals, damage to the land thru his fault, sublease of the land). At kailangan mong maghabla muna sa DARAB.

 

Ano ngayon ang option mo. Pwedeng i-waive ng tenant yung karapatan niya sa lupa. PAPAANO?

 

Bayaran mo siya, either by giving him a portion of the land in exchange for giving up his rights as a tenant, or by paying him a large enough sum of money that he agrees to give up his rights as a tenant.

 

In ending, THERE IS NO LAW REQUIRING you to pay or give up land. But if you want to get rid of your tenant, these are some of the usual ways to get him to agree to move.

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. Was very well written and though out. I really appreciate it.

 

The land was given to me as a present after i graduated and all the titles were transferred to my name legally.

 

Now, since the land is now in my name, I would assume that any agreement that my grandparents and the caretaker had, written or unwritten, must be redone now that they are no longer the rightful owners.

 

Thus, #3 of the land reform no longer applies to the situation because I do not consent to the relationship.

 

Do my arguments make sense? Sorry from a medical background haha
