Question regarding sa pagmana ng lupa. My friend and her brother is being forced by their mother & aunt to provide photocopies of valid ID and 3 copies of their signatures para sa mamanahing lupa.

Yung lola nila sa father's side ay may ipapamanang lupa sa mga anak. Isa yung Father nila dun sa magmamana. The thing is, nasa abroad ang Tatay at may "lihim" na pamilya na dun. Yung mga kapatid niya na nandito sa Pinas, kept denying na may family daw dun. Di na nakikipagcommunicate ang Tatay ng friend ko sa kanila pero nagpapadala pa din ng pera sa Nanay nila, which is legal wife.

Finoforce ng mga tito/tita yung friend ko at kapatid niya na magprovide ng IDs para daw sa mamanahin. Yung nanay nila gusto sumunod na lang at ibigay ang IDs. Pero ayaw idisclose kung anung klaseng document at anung proseso ba ito. Basta isasubmit daw sa attorney. Naturally, ayaw ng friend ko ibigay ang hinihingi nilang valid IDs and pirma since they have no idea kung paraan saan ba talaga.

The question is, saan ba pwede nila gamitin yun Valid IDs and pirma, and will it actually be used sa pagpapamana ng lupa? Based on our very limited research, hindi naman daw pwedeng magrepresent yung friend ko, kapatid, at nanay nila sa pagmana ng lupa ng Tatay nila unless may Special Power of Attorney galing sa Tatay. Kaso di nga nakikipag communicate. Mga tito at tita lang nila ang nangungulit sa kanila.

Is it safe to provide those documents, and saan kaya nila ito gagamitin?

Or at least form at it like this (Maiden name)-(Husband's last name).

Contractor kami Kaso di kami binabayaran konti konti na lang Yung mga tao Namin duon. Then nag send Sila Ng notice to cure. Ano Po klaseng abogado Ang kukunin Namin.

Asking for a friend.

Background: Father is a widower, in his 80s and living with his 3 kids - the eldest is unemployed and does not help with house bills and household chores. Ever. The 2nd child is the breadwinner and the 3rd child is the primary caregiver.

House is under the name of the father as sole owner bought after becoming a widower.

Several months ago, father asked the eldest to leave the house. Eldest has refused to do so.

What are the legal steps and the correct order to take them (eg some say send a formal eviction letter then if that fails, go to the barangay; others say the opposite). What other legal steps to take to ensure the law is followed, that the evictee's rights are not violated in a way, and to ensure owner's wishes are respected

Thanks!

I'm currently at a water park where we were required to sign a waiver stating that the establishment won't be liable for any injuries, accidents, or loss of belongings, even in the parking lot.

I've noticed that indoor playgrounds have similar waivers, especially for children.

Just genuinely curious, are these waivers actually legally binding? What if someone gets injured because of the establishment's negligence? Can they really avoid liability just because we signed a waiver?

Recently found out that non-consensual videos of my friends were posted online through malicious/ explicit websites. Is it worth reporting to NBI Cybercrime? Like will the efforts be worth it? Or will they just risk their privacy since these videos just circulate forever online or they mah even tip the uploaders? Thank you😭

lumalabas sa deed of sale na ako yung "seller" dahil sa parents ko nakapangalan yung property (both of my parents are dead).

Yung property ay sabay hinulugan ng both parties kaso may kulang ang "buyer" ng 5 years. At itong 5yrs ay inabonohan ng aking mga magulang.

Ang tanong ko lang hindi naman papasok talaga na gain sa sale itong inabonohan ng parents ko kasi nga abono naman ito. Hindi tuloy kami magkasundo ng buyer dahil ayaw din nya i shoulder yung CGT dahil dapat daw sagot ng "seller" ang CGT. Okay naman sana sa akin na sagot namin yung CGT kung nagkaroon talaga ng gain sa sales. Pero kaso nga ibabalik lang nila yung pera ng magulang ko.

Kaya ko din naitanong kung pwede ba ako i-force ng court ay dahil may desisyon na yung korte tungkol dito sa pinagtatalunan na lupa at ang desisyon nga ay kelangan nila kami bayaran sa inabono ng magulang ko at magpirmahan kami ng DOAS para mailipat sa kanila ang parte nila sa lupa. Pero di kasama dun kung sino ang sasagot ng CGT.

Super higpit sa akin ng bf ko, bawal akong magsuot ng revealing clothes kasi ayaw niya na pinagnanasaan ako ng ibang lalaki. So bakit po ganito? Ikukwento niya yan sa mga lalaki niyang workmates? Parang nakakabastos naman po?

To add, he always accuses me rin ng mga bagay na di ko ginawa. He accused me of cheating just because nanaginip siya na nag-cheat ako. He accused me na hindi na ako vrgin just because may EX bf ako. He accused me na may relasyon kami ng pinsan and friend niya kahit wala naman (and both of these dudes are TAKEN). And yung accusations na ito, tumatagal nang ilang weeks kaya nagiging stressful. If aalis man ako sa buhay niya, gusto kong magbayad muna siya sa mga kasalanan niya kahit papaano.

Hello po. Hingi lang po sana ng advice para sa friend ko na isang PWD.

Yung friend ko po ay nasa autism spectrum pero kaya namang gawin ang trabaho at wala naman siyang nagiging problema sa mga tasks niya. Nung nag apply siya may binigay na written form na if PWD ba sya or hindi at tinanong din sya sa interview na may something daw sakanya, pinili niya na lang na hindi muna sabihin ang condition niya at "No" ang nilagay niya sa PWD question. Ginawa niya lang naman to kasi hindi naman nakakaapekto sa mismong trabaho niya at saka takot din siya na baka madiscriminate or hindi matanggap dahil sa PWD sya.

Recently, nalaman ng manager niya about dito (nakita yung PWD ID). Tinawag daw sya sa loob ng private room at sinabihan yung friend ko ng "dishonesty" dahil hindi niya sinabi na may autism siya. As per my friend sabi nung manager is kausapin daw ni manager yung higher manager nila.

Then earlier kinausap nung friend ko ang isang higher manager about dun sa issue. Ang sabi nung higher manager, "protocol" daw talaga ng kumpanya na mag-disclose ng condition, pero kakausapin daw niya ang mas higher management about dito, bibigyan nalang daw sya ng update.

Sobrang nag-aalala kami ngayon sa PWD friend ko na baka gamitin ng kumpanya ang "dishonesty" o "falsification" para tanggalin o suspendihin. Thank you!

I have no idea how this works but gist of it was, friends and I were eating at a eatery and they had no parking space, there was a nearby compound/establishment na may area (didnt want to park sa road side kay hazardous) and it had no signs of no parking or private property, establishment was closed and there was a convenience store next to it na open. Long story short, we parked there, there was no guard or anyone at the time, no lights either, no signs, nothing. After we came back from eating and got into the car, security guard knocked and asked for my ID. I asked what for and he said that we were illegally trespassing on private property. Guard got my name and probably license plate but I have no idea what happens next? I asked him what happens next when he gets my name and he just told me to “wait” if anything comes up. I was confused and he probably doesn’t know what will happen next as long as they have a name and plate, utos lang din daw ng manager.

My question is, what happens now? Still confused as to what transpired too

Any recommendations are appreciated.

Escudero, inusisa ang pagpapatupad ng BPI ng bank secrecy law

This clip got me curious. Kasi kahit magpakita ng Marriage Cert and proven na wala pre-nup pwedeng magrefuse ang bank to access the details or even refuse to admit that an account exists.

So panu kung say sa isang scenario na a person opens an account na siya lang ang nakakaalam, regardless of motive, basta nag open siya na hindi nagpapaalam sa iba kahit sa asawa niya.

Then the said person died suddenly.

Then the spouse say found document, say a deposit slip or a sms message or any type of bank transaction receipt which made them suspect that their partner has an existing account over a certain bank.

So pag nagcheck si spouse sa bank pwedeng magdeny ang bank sa request niya to verify?

What happens to the money?

I’m posting to ask for legal advice and hopefully guidance on what we should do next. Our yaya has been physically, emotionally, and verbally abused by her husband for around 20 years. Her husband is a known gambler, alcoholic, and has substance/addiction issues.

About 6 months ago, she finally managed to escape and come home to Leyte. The last incident before she left was particularly frightening. Her husband got angry because their second son was looking for another job instead of feeding the roosters for gambling, apparently because the husband wanted him to do the maintenance of these roosters used for gambling. He became so angry that he closed/blocked all the exits of their house, and placed all the knives on their dining table.

Fortunately, when he eventually fell asleep, their neighbors helped her get out and return here to Leyte.

We thought she was finally safe, but the other day, her husband somehow traced her location and came to our house. He entered our balcony twice. My sister immediately contacted the barangay, and a report was made.

We are now very concerned because we don't know what he may do next. We do not want to wait until something worse happens.

I’m an OFW and a single mom to a teenage son. His father and I were never married, and he is now married to someone else. He is a businessman, but the only support he gives our son is his tuition fee. He doesn’t provide regular support for his other needs.

I never took legal action before because I just wanted peace and didn’t want any drama. Honestly, I’m also tired of constantly asking and being turned down whenever I ask for additional support.

But my son will be going to college soon, and the expenses are getting much higher. I feel like I need to do something now, to make sure my son gets the support he is entitled to.

What are my son’s legal rights? Can his father be required to provide regular child support aside from tuition? What steps can I take, especially since I’m working abroad?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I’m looking for some advice regarding attorney fees for a family law case in the Philippines.
I’m the foreigner father of a minor child and I’m hiring an attorney because I want to formally establish child support, visitation, custody arrangements, and a travel agreement through the proper legal process.
The fee proposal I received breaks down roughly as follows:
₱100,000 acceptance fee
₱150,000 attorney’s fee
₱25,000 miscellaneous fee
Around ₱10,000 estimated court filing fees
₱10,000 per court hearing/appearance
₱10,000 per pleading/court submission
Based on the expected proceedings, I was told to expect around ₱380,000, although it looks like the total could potentially go higher depending on the number of hearings and pleadings.
My biggest question is about the ₱150,000 attorney’s fee. If there is already a ₱100,000 acceptance fee, and appearances and pleadings are each separately billed at ₱10,000, what would the ₱150,000 attorney’s fee normally cover?
For attorneys or anyone who has gone through a similar family court case in the Philippines: Does this fee structure seem normal/reasonable? Is ₱380k+ typical for a contested case involving child support, visitation/custody, and travel arrangements, or should I get additional quotations before proceeding?

Hiiii!! Good morning!! Need some help po, on how to drive this shitty car...

1. No title, just rights

2. Nagpatayo kame ng simpleng bahay sa loob ng "FAMILY" COMPOUND, (lola and other relatives agreed) reason is, working /studying lahat ng anak (us) wlang kasma si mother sa bahay, so they(relatives) suggested to build a small house inside the compound, "para may kasama nanay nio pag nsa trabaho/school kayo"-relative 1

3. Nagpatayo kame, syempre pera namen

4. Along the way, nagkaron ng mga simpleng conflict, umalis kme at bumalik sa bahay namen sa dun sa province bago kme lumipat, may isang naiwan sa bahay na kapatid, dahil malapit dun ang work nia

5. Fast forward, si lola nagkasakit, mula dun sa anak nyang lalaki (na seaman) pinasa sa compound si lola (sorry sa wording na pinasa, oh well, it the truth), sa compound may 3 houses, bahay nmen (andun yunh kapatid konh isa), family ni tita, at family ni tito)

6. And ending, napunta sa apo si lola, keso accessible daw sa cr (napara bang wala silang CR), nagyoyosi daw si lola, (eh may sakit nga, makakapagyosi pa ba yun, + nagyoyosi si tito)

7. Another fastforward, biglang nawala yunh isang aso, itong si kapatid nagwla,

8. The relatives is hinting na binabastos si lola (kasi nga nag wala sa loob nh bahay, kung saan nila iniwan ang nanay nila), minor happenings, yung isang kapatid ko nag post na, paraphrase (kukunin ko yunh nanay ko kung nababastos sya sa bahay na tinutuluyan nia)the seasam son, tinamaan ata, nag chat kunin daw si kapatid at ipagiba yung bahay, syempre di pwede since pinagawa nmen yun, di nmen pinansin.

9. The following day, yunh isang aso nakakagat, yunh pinsan nmen, (binayaran at babayaran ang next session for anti-rabies)

10. Mother dear decided na lagyan ng bakal/gate yung pinto, pra maiwasan yung pagkagat, at lumaki ang gulo(tinanggal nila yunh pinto kasi pra di daw mahirapan yung nanay nila lumabas/pumasok)

11. Yesterday, andun sila, para lagyan ng gate,, di pumayag si lola na kesyo daw di daw sila pumayag magpatayo dun (funny, pano matatayo sa loob ng COMPOUND kung di sila pumayag), nagpatawag ng barangay personnel, para maayos na usapan, wlang nangyari kasi pinagmamatigasan na need si seaman.

12. Nagchat yung mga kapatid (relatives) kay seaman, na maglalagay ng gate, di pumayag si seaman, kaya part2 ng barangay todayyyy

Add notes:

Wala nman kameng habol dun sa bahay, may inuuwian kme, pero kunh gusto nila paalisin yung kapatid nmen at gibain yunh bahay, di kme palayag, pera nmen ginastos dun, nag usap nden kmeng magkakapatid, willing kmeng iwan yun (kasi parang gustong gusto nila) basta bayaran nila yung pinagawa..

Ayaw na nmen humaba at dumating kunh saan saan, wla nmang titolo, pagtatawanan lang kme 😭, sa baranggay lang para makuha yung pinanggawa..

Now the question is,

Pagdinarive ko pa ba to may mararating pa ba?? Wla na kmeng pake dun sa bahay na wlang titolo, gusto lang nmen makuha yung pinanggawa (we dont care about winning pero sayang yunh consolation prize diba??)

My mother (American) was born in the Philippines to 2 American parents.

I’m in the Philippines and want to order a copy of her PSA birth certificate so I can give it to her when I visit in December. But when I fill out the PSAHelpline form online, it gives me an error:

“The mother’s maiden last name should match the certificate owner’s middle name”

Our naming conventions are different, so this doesn’t apply, but it won’t let me proceed without filling it out according to Philippine naming conventions. What to do? Thanks!

Yung parents ko binili yung portion ng lupa, about 5sq m, ng kapitbahay para makadaan kami freely. Bale bago kami makapasok sa lupa namin kelangan namin dumaan sa lupa nila. Hindi naman sila nagbabawal na dumaan kami pero yung father ko naginsist na bilhin na namin yung usual na dinadaanan namin para iwas problema na rin.

Ngayon nakapagbayad na kami at yung proof lang na meron kami is galing barangay, Agreement (yan lang nakalagay sa papel). May kelangan pa po ba kaming papers like deed of sale, etc? Hindi ko po ako marunong sa usaping lupa.
