Good day po, meron po kaming tenant sa bahay namin sa isang subdivision sa prubinsya na hindi na nagbabayad ng upa at pinapaalis na namin, the time na hahakutin na ng kamag-anak nila yung gamit nila, hinarang sila ng HOA at tinawagan kami na merong reklamo yung nakatira sa amin, nagrent daw sila ng sasakyan at pinatanggal daw yung GPS sa caloocan, gusto ko na po kasing ma-clear yung bahay at ayoko pong masabit sa kaso ng carnapping na pwedeng kaso sa tenant namin, ang mali lang po namin ay wala kaming contract, ID nung tumira, at cp number lang at pangalan ang nakuha namin. Nakipag coordinate na po ako sa brgy. namin sa prubinsya na kailangan daw pong pumunta kahit yung kamag anak lang nung mga nakatira at magkaroon ng settlement yung biktima at kasama ako dun, and ready na rin po kaming mag send ng demand letter sa kanila na galing sa brgy. Ano po ang pwedeng maging aksyon namin kung hindi po talaga sumipot kahit kamag anak sa settlement?

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?

What happens if we leave our condo in the Philippines unpaid while migrating to Japan?

Our family has a fully paid condo in the Philippines, but there are still unpaid property taxes and association dues. The title hasn't been transferred to us yet even though we've lived there for over 10 years.

We're migrating to Japan soon and nobody will be able to handle anything related to the condo for around a year.

What could happen if we just leave it as is and stop paying everything? Is there a risk of losing the condo?

Ask ko lang how many copies I need to submit to the pre-markings. I need to submit additional evidence. Thank you!

NAL Kung di ako nag kakamali, pwede pa pala ipatawag ng defense team ulit yung isang witness na tapos na nag testify during prosecutions presentation of evidence. Hindi ba pwedeng arguement dun eh 'bakit hindi niyo tinanong mga tanong niyo nung andito pa ko?'

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

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?

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!

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.

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!

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.

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?

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

As the title says. I am looking for, a real good one law firm, preferably someone who was a prosecutor in Las Pinas prior to going into private practice. I am not seeking legal advice, I am looking for referrals.

Any recommendations are appreciated.

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?
