I am studying the tax implications to a water utility company with congressional franchise and its branch in another municipality, which the local government granted a franchise. Here it goes: 1.) ABC Water Company is a holder of congressional franchise paying a 2% franchise tax and a non-vat registered; 2.) ABC was able to get a lease agreement with a local government to operate and manage its water utility. There is no franchise fee to be paid. My questions are: a. Is the branch in another locality VATable or Non-VATable? b. What taxes should the branch be paying? c. If it is VATable, would it has any effect in the Financial Statement of the company, being a non-VATable in the other business?

I just want to make inquiry re issue of my cousin. She married her husband, Alo, and they have 4 children. Their concerns go this way:
Alo is the son of Xian and Yian. Xian, father of Alo, is an illegitimate son of GF. Xian's name was registered as Xian Kalaw Madrid, however, he was forbidden by the legitimate family of GF to use Madrid. Then, he started using Kalaw as his surname. Xian got married and had 6 children, all of which were registered with middle and surname JIMENEZ MADRID. However, from the time the children were baptized, their name was registered with middle and surname MADRID JIMENEZ. From then on, the children are using their name with middle and surname as MADRID JIMENEZ, believing that is it correct.
My cousin's husband, Alo, is constantly using his name to be ALO MADRID JIMENEZ instead of Alo Jimenez Madrid, which was registered in his birth certificate. Their problems are now facing them as to difficulty in securing a passport, the difficulties his benefits beneficiaries might face in the future due to the inconsistencies of his records.
All the records of Alo, from Baptismal Certificate, School Records, SSS, TIN, Insurances, Marriage contract, and birth certificates of their 4 children are all in his name ALO MADRID JIMENEZ and he would like to seek remedies to change his name to ALO MADRID JIMENEZ from Alo Jimenez Madrid. His reasons are: 1.) he is already known in that name; 2.) the trouble in explaining to the children and the people if he will be using the name in his birth certificate, Alo Jimenez Madrid, and then changing the records of his 4 children and his wife, which would post to be more difficult and expensive than of him changing his name alone.
Is there any possibility for him of changing his name?
Just wanna ask: Will an agricultural land of less than 10,000 square meters be qualified for claim under the tenancy law?
This question is relative to acceptance of the DAR for litigation under tenancy law because the housewife of my cousin (they are separated now)claimed she is a tenant when in fact she is not because while they were still living together, they redeemed the property and settled there until they separated. But her housewife continued her stay in the land untill she filed a case claiming she is a tenant. But this land is less than 10,000 square meters.
I hope you can help me clarify because as I have read the law, for a land to qualify, it shall be 1 hectare in size. Thanks.
I'm searching for the text for ... Act No. 3883, as Amended by Act No. 41476 and R.A. No. 863, otherwise known as the Business Name Law. ...But no dice.... I was wondering if a business name of a proprientorship can be licenced to a third party... like a trademark?? perhaps...
Hi. I would like to ask for your help. My grandfather, Ernesto Mozar, a pensioner, and a resident of Davao City, is quite sick. My aunt Jennifer, single, lives with him, and has the power of attorney to claim his monthly pension. Because of the physical condition of my grandfather, my father and two of his brothers, planned to make a visit, and to send him to the doctor. When they got there, and told him of their purpose, Aunt Jennifer angrily refused and disapproved the plan, and told them to use their own money if they really want to send grandpa to the doctor. Neither my father, nor my two uncles are financially stable. If they were, they would immediately send grandpa to the doctor. My grandfather however is very much financially stable. It is evident in the personal properties that they currently possess. Is there any legal way to convince my aunt to spend some money for the hospitalization? Is there any provision from the family code that corresponds to this problem? I hope that your kind office will help us. Thank you very much for your time. my email add is marpie17@yahoo.com.

a plaintiff company filed an action for annulment of mortgage against defendant bank with prayer for TRO/injunction for the registration of sale..the RTC denied the TRO...in the motion for reconsideration they changed their original prayer in the complaint for a TRO for the consolidation of ownership in favor of defendant bank and they had additional prayer for the RTC to issue an order declaring forcible entry against the defendants for allegedly occupying the subject premises...my question is: is the said MR proforma or is allowed by the rules?...if it is allowed by the rules, is the allegation of forcible entry proper in the MR or should it be brought in another proceedings or court?..thanks

I have had the unique privilege of observing from the sidelines the young and idealistic officers and soldiers belonging to the Magdalo group since our law office serves as counsel for 12 of these young men in the coup d’etat case filed against them at the Regional Trial Court of Makati.
I am particularly impressed by the spokesman and most renown member of the group, Lt/SG. Antonio Trillanes IV or “Sonny” as he is called by his friends. Like myself, Sonny traces his roots to Bicol. I understand that his father, Antonio Sr., also a graduate of the Philippine Military Academy like him, hails from Ligao in my home province of Albay at the heart of Bicolandia.
What particularly impresses me about this young man is not only his strength of character, moral courage and fortitude in the face of adversity but his selfless sense of duty to country and to his fellow Filipinos.
Not everybody agrees with what they did at Oakwood on July 27, 2003, but it cannot be denied that these young soldiers stood up and placed not only their careers and the future of their families but their very own lives on the line to fight for what they believe in. I wonder how many of our politicians today will ever have the moral courage to do this.
The Magdalo group blew the whistle on the massive, systematic and well-entrenched, if not institutionalized, corruption in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). Two years later, they were vindicated when this fact was confirmed with the prosecution and conviction of AFP comptroller and Army Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia, among others.
You will remember that despite the tense and volatile situation at the Makati Commercial Center at the time, Sonny’s group conducted themselves as the fine officers and perfect gentlemen they were, choosing to courteously escort guests out of the Oakwood Premier Hotel to get them out of harm’s way instead of trying to take advantage of them and using them as “human shields.”
Also, these soldiers even had the decency to pay their rooms as well as the food they consumed both at the hotel and at the supermarket even when no one was looking, an admirable display of honesty which we rarely see among public servants today, uniformed or otherwise. I know not everyone would admit it but I think we were all a little amazed and extremely proud of the conduct of these soldiers when we heard about this. I am sure I was.
Indeed, they have fired up our collective imagination and made us dream of what could be achieved if only there were more soldiers and policemen and bureaucrats and other public servants who are like them: honest, decent and upright to the end, even when no one is looking.
In the course of their ordeal during the last three years, I have come to learn that numerous attempts have been made to convince Sonny and his group to capitulate, give up their fight and just rejoin the fold and resume their careers with the rest of the apolitical, apathetic mainstream of the Armed Forces. These attempts were made with expressed promises of better treatment, lighter penalties and/or outright liberty. Admirably, Sonny and his group refused to be bought.
Sonny recently announced that he is seriously considering the possibility of running for the Senate.
Again, I am sure not everyone would agree with this development. In fact, I know that many people are questioning his intellectual capacity and political maturity for the position. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion.
As for me, I would rather have a political neophyte such as Sonny, whose ability to put love for country and service to the public above everything else is already proved, serving in any public office, whether the same be in the Senate, the House of Representatives or the executive and even the judiciary, anytime rather than have someone who may be competent, well-experienced and who exudes political savvy but whose heart is not in the proper place.
I know it is rather early but I am going to make a bold and brave prediction: Sonny Trillanes, if he ever runs for public office, would be the hottest upcoming Bicolano political rising star of the next decade.
I know he has what it takes and as long as he remains humble and success does not go to his head, he has the makings of a major political persona in the moulds of Raul Roco, Blas Ople, Claro Recto and other statesmen.
In fact, if he does not change, he has the makings of the first ever Bicolano president of the republic, a true Bicolano Eagle bound to soar high into the political stratosphere of the land.
I would like to make a request if you could send me through email the full text decision of Judge Benjamin Pozon (Makati Regional Court) on the case of Republic of the Philippines versus Cpl. Daniel Smith - Subic rape case. I would appreciate it, if you can email it to me.

I would like to inquire a situation in relation to compensation entitlement of a person injured in a bus accident. The person was a passenger of a tricycle. The injured person is 52 years old, no job. injury incurred was on her left leg. No fractured of any bones. The maximum treatment given was skin grafting and she is now out from the hospital. According to the police report it was the fault of the bus and its driver. There is no admission of liability on the part of the driver and its owner. Injured person has been hospitalized for about 1 month with all medical expenses paid by the owner of the bus. Bus was insured. Now injured person is asking for additional money to start her new life, so owner of the bus offer an amount but injured person refused. Bus owner felt that injured person's intentioin is to use the situation to obtain more money than they are entitled to.
Would you be kind enough to let me know to what extent an injured person is entitled to in respect of the accident?
Is there any liability on the part of the tricycle and its driver?
I would like to express my gratitude for the chanrobles.com because the website is very useful and i guess the only website that provides resources about the Philippine Law. I hope that you will not cease in doing this.
GOD BLESS!

I also admire the action of Magdalo group especially Trillanes. They stood up for their cause and belief and sacrifices everything in behalf of the people in grief for our government. that is why, this coming election, trillanes will surely get my vote!
I got a health insurance policy with a healthcare provider particularly caritas healthshield.I opted for the higher plan then and started paying for my premiums on a semi-annual mode.After paying for sometime and having done so for a substantial amount I missed my payments.I asked for an updating to be able to pay the remaining amount on my policy but unfortunately was unable to do so.The management said that I forfeited my payments for failure to meet the deadline. My last payment made two years and 2 mos. prior and according to their policy it would automatically be forfeited after two years. This has led me to raise these following questions? 1.The agent who solicited my policy was no longer connected with the company hence no followups were made before to effect payment.Moreover no notice of termination or demand was sent to me to collect the balance on my policy premium.Can my policy be forfeited without due and proper notification ? 2.I already paid a substantial amount to Caritas and my balance would then have constituted a fraction of my total premiums were it not for the increase in their premium payments covering the same plan to which effect no proper notification was ever given of such increase.Can they arbitrarily impose such increse without due process? 3. Based on my premium payments such amount would then have been sufficient to cover the full payment on a much lower plan.Could such effort not be resorted to by the provider if only to show good faith rather than outright forfeiting my payments penalizing for circumstanes which I believe they are enjoying because of a mere technicality in their policy? 4.What legal remedies can I resort to if only to continue with the policy,I am willing to pay the balance on the premium and enjoy my health claims?Is there a way to get back my premium payments should the company drop me from their roster rather than letting my previous payments be gone to waste? 5.I recently suffered a stroke and availment of benefits under such a plan would be a welcome relief for my medical bills and hospitalization expenses .
These then are the things that bug me and although I've done some research on the web to help my case I am at a quandary on what to do.Should I fight the big guys or is there a hope for justice in my case?
My son is currently using my maiden name on his birth certificate. By virtue of a subsequent marriage with the biological father a few years back how can I change my son's surname in his birth certificate? Do we need to get a court order to change details of his birth certificate? The complication is that my parents had given someone else's name as the father in the birth certificate after I have given birth to protect my family's interest as the biological father was still a minor at the time of my giving birth. Thank you in advance for your support.
greetings sir! i would like to ask about obligations and contracts specifically how does contracts become null and void? and what are the circumstances that makes a certain contract null and void e.g. breach of contract, ambiguity and how do i prove that a contract should be considered null and void?
Good day to chan robles team of brilliant people merged together to be of service to the law-knowledge-thirsty Filipinos. Your sight have been of help ever since i was in college, and now im into the intricate yet interesting world of mass media. I just wanted to ask if you do know some of the "Philippines Weirdest Laws"? I'll be doing thorough research in the coming days and your reply would be of great help. This topic might interest event the most passive among us Filipinos, that's why im hoping you could suggest some. Thank you very much and more power. Keep feeding the minds of our people with pertinent facts na dhelpful insights. Godspeed.
good day everyone. I would just like to consult everyone out there on my idea for my thesis.
anyway, here it is. I would like to question the validity of a car manufacturer's restrictions on its car buyers to use the car as taxis or PUVs. I know that in a contract, the parties can pput on the contract any stipulation provided that it is not contrary to law, morals, public policy, customs. But what about the right of the car buyer to use the car as he deems fit. isn't it one of the attributes of ownership is the right to use and enjoy one's property? how can he (the car buyer) have full use when there is such a restriction?
or should i just drop this topic?
btw, the car manufacturer allows their cars to be used as taxis in other countries.
Dear Sirs/Madams, I'm not a law student much less a practicing lawyer. I am a part-time instructor in a state university. The university withheld our honoraria (which is our salary), to be released only after we are cleared for the semester. Some of us would be unable to clear our pecuniary accountabilities because we have no salary yet, which we cannot get until we clear ourselves of those accountability. Is there any possible remedy in this predicament? Help please. I thank you in advance.

i would like to ask your position re: employment contracts of callcenter agents wherein their are provisions that they are not to engage in any profession similar or related to the BPO industry for a period of one year after the termination of their employer-employee relationship.. although employees have resigned before for other companies it is only now that the management keeps on harping on this provisions because a lot of their employees are resigning and opting to apply to other BPO companies... now these are my queries..
a.) are these contracts binding even though they were not notarized and contains such provisions..? does this violate the terms of employment provisions under the labor code?
b.) are those employees liable for anything although their contracts does not contain any provisions for vilating the said provisions...?
c.) and are they still allowed to act on the present employees when they have remained silent and did not act on hundreds of prior employees that have left the company and opted to seek positions at other BPO's?

Sir, my former call center company-new call center - terminated me even Im a regular employee. I had no question with regards to the termination procedure, but they said' "you are not able to get any benefit from the company because you are teminated." As stated in my contract, I have a 13th month pay starting from the date I became a regular employee.
Is it true that I can't recieve any benefit from the company? if I can, what are those? What about PD 851, sir?

I am a project employee with a 3-years non-bond employment contract that I signed last December 2005 covering a fixed term employment from November 1, 2005 to October 31, 2008. On December 1, 2006 I was assigned to be the team lead of our group and on July 2007, I was made to sign again another contract but this time with several provisions added including an "indemnification" clause in case I pre-terminate the agreement. This new contract also changed my task list and reiterated anew the 24x7 nature of my job. This second contract came too hard for me to sign that it took almost 2-3 months from the time it was given (April 2007) until I was confronted to sign it. On several occasions, I expressly told my boss that I do not intend to sign it on several reasons – the added provisions, the change in scope of work, the change in job title and the extended period which must have been a typographical as initially thought. We had several discussions only to find that the contract is indeed a "contract of adhesion" that is being offered as is without any opportunity for bargain considering the several changes introduced. On an instance where I tried questioning the non-payment of OT and premiums as well as the real definition of the indemnity clause, my boss became emotive that I was given an ultimatum for that day to sign the contract or he will have the document recall and all consequences would follow. Since the contract is a "take it or leave it" offer, leaving it unsigned will cause me an automatic demotion as a team member from being a team lead. The salary increase based on my appraisal and promotion will be forfeited too. Since I was seen also to be delaying the signing due to questioning the technicality as well as legal aspect of the new agreement, my boss warned me that he too can immediately impose the harsh policies on me that I will be suspended the next day or even terminated immediately due to tardiness. I also quoted him saying that if we cannot agree on the terms, the fact that I will be treated by the book and face termination or dismissal would prevent me from getting another job applicable also in cases I pre-terminate the agreement since record would show that I was terminated and no company would hire a terminated employee. The new contract came in different versions, 1st with the indemnity but extended tenure covering March 1, 2007 to February 28, 2009 versus the original period covering November 1, 2005 to October 31, 2008. Since it may have been a typographical error, I thought of raising it and so another contract was issued but this time with a different job title – IT Facilities Specialist versus the original title, SAP BASIS Administrator. The document still contained the added provisions including the "indemnity" clause but with the original contract period. This made me wonder why they had to generalize and somehow downgrade my title and change several provisions when the intention is only to formalize my assignment as Team Lead as well as document the salary increase plus the standardization of contracts. I openly expressed upon discussion that I took the job on the fact that it is a "non-bond" and based on the job title -SAP Basis Administrator. Changing them would violate the very reason why I took the job. The original job title has more value than the new generic title being given. Thus, I thought that due to the increase in employees resigning for a better job, the company has been revising contracts to ensure that employees are tied legally to stay and since “SAP Basis” is a hot skill in the IT industry, by changing our job title, it would somehow make it hard for us to attract employers after our tenure or make use of the job to seek for a greener pasture. Although, this was just an opinion which was later confirmed by my boss himself to ensure that employees finished their contracts. How about if they want to severe employment due to just causes? Will they, as aggrieved party, pay still the offender company? I raised all the issues I could think of but still my boss used his position to tell me that it is the management's prerogative to state whatever provisions it deems necessary. Amidst inquiry, both HR and my boss did not explain fully the basics and implications of the “indemnity” clause but only to answer that the new contract is made to standardize employment contracts and that I have actually no choice but to accord since it is a prerogative practiced by the management. The only implication mentioned about the indemnity is based on the statement of my boss saying, "If di mo tatapusin, breach ka at may babayaran ka. If tatapusin mo, walang problema sa iyo itong kontrata". Due to this, I did not yet sign. I rejected the contract, protested about the threats being used and I told him that I am willing to be demoted the next day and be deprived of my increase based on my appraisal and added responsibilities. I was then told that I can no longer expect any exposure or growth since I have rejected his offer and has shown my distrust to his leadership and intention as my boss. After a week, I was confronted again about the unsigned contract and this time I was given another contract with the new job title but this time affixing the word "-sap basis" so as it was stated as “IT Facilities Specialist – SAP Basis” which is now similar to my original job title "SAP Basis Administrator". I was also assured that on my COE, my title will be reflected based on the new contract and not merely based on the generic "IT Facilities Specialist". I then raised the issue on the effectivity date of the contract since my assignment as Team Lead was made effective last December 1, 2006, so the contract should be dated effective December 1, 2006 instead of the March 1 2007 indicated in the contract. This is to accurately record my job movement as well as to make fair computation for the retroactive pay since I was rendering extra services and tasks since I was appointed as Team Lead for almost 6 months now without any increase. In response, my boss reiterated that March 1, 2007 is to be reflected on the contract since that is the date when the assignment was made official since they have to “test” me from December 1, 2006 to March 1, 2007 if indeed their decision to appoint me is worth it and if I can indeed pass their criteria. More so, my boss explained that the retroactive pay was to start only from March 1, 2007 and not on December 1, 2006, although I have already served the post for 6 months with all the extended tasks that came about with it because by stating the latter date in the contract, the company would be compel to pay me more as retroactive pay. With this, I was assured nonetheless that in case I may need a COE, they will just note down on the COE that I started as a Team Lead on December 1, 2006 and not March 1, 2007 as based on the contract. I was assured also that the certification would include the full job title “IT Facilities Specialist - SAP Basis” to further add to my credential which was the reason why I was made to sign in. Several talks which were more of verbal reprimanding than discussions were held including the 3 hours talk from 6PM to 9PM of July 17, 2007 where I was not able to help anymore my emotions and cry due to the pressure to acquire my signature on an agreement that I do not want to agree with noting that I have an existing contract that is still in effect and is due October 31, 2008. Since this occurred within the working hours, some employees witnessed this and I felt embarrassed although some employees were also subjected to the same treatment just so they are made to sign their new contracts. This was a fact and not an opinion that the managers were too desperate to have us sign even when we still have our old contracts in effect for unknown motives. The sleepless nights and constant attack on my personality, professional, family as well as the use of some behavioural and past issues coupled with intimidation, grounding fear, unduly influence, failure to disclose fully the details of the new contract and the threat of being demoted, suspended and even terminated due to my tardiness has been too strong that on July 25, 2007, I gave up on the hope that I have to face the fact that the employer has more power to control my freedom of choice that I was finally made to sign the contract to settle the issue and perhaps due to the fact that being in dire financial need, the increase as well as the retention of my full job title is already enough to put this issue to rest. I believe that my only mere participation to the perfection of the agreement is to affix my signature and the rest was with my employer’s power. A month after, August 2007, I thought of securing a Certificate of Employment (COE) to check whether what has been agreed upon and promised/assured was followed but to my surprise, my job title on record was the opposed generic title - "IT Facilities Specialist". Upon inquiries to HR department – Ms. Sauco, Ms. Sace and Ms. Hernandez, I was informed that the title was not updated and would remain as is based on the standard title used because no directive was received yet from the management for my new job title, as agreed to take effect. I was then told to inquire to my boss who was already replaced by another manager. I protested this to our TSG manager and to my immediate supervisor but no remedy or explanation was given. Instead I was directed back either to HR or to my boss who had me sign the contract. With this, I approached the boss who made me sign the contract on the assurance that I get to have the job title “IT Facilities - SAP Basis” – one of the assurance and promise that made me sign the contract at all. More so, the latter title alone merits a higher value for me as an IT professional other than being tagged generic as “IT Facilities Specialist”. I was instead told by my boss to talk to my direct supervisor since he is not anymore my direct boss. Due to this, I felt I was deceived and that my consent vitiated. With this, I believe that the contract is voidable and I long to have it voided. Now, the question is how I can nullify the entire contract and how much would it cost me if ever?
Lately, I thought of terminating the contract by sending a letter that is more of appealing for understanding rather than protesting since I have always believed that everything has to be settled amicably and peacefully rather than resorting to legal and offensive means. Since I am in financial need as well as in protest for the “contract of adhesion” that they made me sign plus the non-payment of overtime, night differential and premiums on holidays and rest days for the past 22 months that I have been rendering my service in an almost 24x7 onsite, offsite on-call setting, I decided to put an end to this engagement and just seek for a better job with a better pay and a better working condition. Upon lobbying my issue and notice of termination of employment contract, I was told that pre-termination would make me liable for a civil case to be filed against me for breach of contract and I will be obliged also under the law to indemnify or pay them a huge sum of money covering damages and other cost to the operation of the company brought about by my action. I paused since never it was discussed to me that I have a bond and this was expressed to me during the job offer way back in October 2005 with recruiter, Marijen Ibanen and was again assured to me verbally by HR – Ms. Sauco and Ms. Hernandez that indeed the contract I signed is not a form of bond. More so, this was not discussed to me clearly. The indemnity as per my understanding would apply if no written notice was given upon resignation and an employee goes AWOL in violation with what has been prescribed by the Labor Code and Company Policy that is to tender a written notice at least 30 days prior to effectivity date of the termination of contract to ensure proper turn-over and transition. For cases where the guidelines of the company and of the laws of the land were followed, indemnity or claims for damages should not apply. In as much as I would like to fully comply with the law that says all of us are protected from involuntary servitude and that as per Labor Code, any employee can terminate effective immediately their employment with due cause or with 30 days written notice in the absence of due cause where the fulfilment of the 30 days notice would free them from liability and damages. Unfortunately, the provisions on termination and indemnity in our employment contract seem too one-sided and favour only the employer who can terminate on several reasons but prevents employees from terminating their employment either for just causes or no just causes within the contract period. It seems that anyone can resign or terminate but they will be facing a civil case for breach of contract and worse indemnify the company of an amount with no stated minimum and maximum that covers not just the amount of salary left with the contract but all the consequential and compensatory damages as well as the total loss incurred from the results in the business operation as alleged – although my absence won’t have an impact on production. Therefore, if I am leaving on the premise that a contract provision was violated and I invoke my rights under the Labor Code considering also that I am in financial crisis, I have no way out but to accept the fact that I have to stay since I cannot afford to pay the indemnity amount plus I have no money to defend myself and assert my rights back for the cases filed. To make it worse, my right to livelihood is at risk. In the contract as recently told by the HR manager upon presentation of my Letter of Termination of Employment Contract, the contract has also a provision for the employer’s right to injunction where I am not allowed and will be prevented to work for the period of 5 years for a job related to my current profession as an IT Professional (SAP). How can I possible provide for the needs of my family if the law itself would be interpreted in a way contrary to my basic rights? If I counter-claim for the unpaid overtime pay and night differential, premium pay for holidays and rest days, etc. and seek to void the voidable contract that I currently have and is currently in effect, I know that this would cost me an amount as attorney's fee that I do not currently have. This would also be a difficult fight since I will be facing a company myself. With all these, I do hope that you can advise me on this. I am willing to send the original and new contracts that I have and if I can afford it, I can try to save some money to pay for your professional assistance if deemed affordable. I do hope that you can also give me tips on what correct steps to take – to submit a Letter of Termination due 30 days? To submit a Notice of Immediate Termination of Contract due to Just Cause? Or a Letter Voiding the Contract due to vitiated consent and breach of contract (job title on COE vs contract title)?
As a diligent father to my 7 year old son and as a responsible husband to my wife, it is my responsibility to provide and ensure them a better future. I believe that the contract given anew to me seem to deprive me of attaining this endeavour. I seek for your assistance. Thank you. Ryan Ericson G. Canlas - SMITS, Inc. 09228831025, 029109138
I'm in dire need of your help. I am a landlord leasing out my property to a certain individual for his trading business. His monthly lease is P80,000.00 He has arrears for 6 mos already and has no intention to pay while still occupying my lot. I planned to sue in court but was told I had to go to barangay level first for a certain certificate to file action which take 4-6 hearings before they give it out. I am very impatient and tired of him. Can I lock him out of the property since I have not received payment for so long and have given him numerous eviction and demand letters until he has paid? He has many stuff inside the property which definitely will anger him when he finds out about this. I know I can be legally liable as his retaliation for locking him out but he has to go thru the barangay too right?
My friend wants to resign in her current job but she's bound to their 1 year contract. She's been offered a job in an actuarial firm. She's a Math graduate from UP and frankly this offer is much better than her current job.
I would like to ask if a public hearing (baranggay level), where almost all its residents voted against a plan to put up a relocation site (mass housing sort-of) in our baranggay, isn't sufficient enough to quash the whole idea?
The deal is after the said baranggay public hearing, our baranggay council said that they will create an resolution about our refusal for the said project. However, we've found out a week after that our municipal government have taken the matter and conducted a public hearing(municipal level) which obviously very few of us (residents) know because we all beleived that the whole thing have been settled after the baranggay public hearing.
Based on the stories of some of the residents that have attended the municipal public hearing (fortunately somebody informed them of the said hearing) that there is this one councilor who seems to be really pushing for the realization of the project which we have utterly doesnt want. This councilor is saying that according to law, since the land is no longer being used for agricultural means for some time, it can now be converted to residential/relocation land.
Although we have nothing against converting it into a residential land, what the people of our baranggay are afraid of is our security and peace because the people they are planning to relocate here if ever are from some squatters area in the Metro. As we all know, though I don't want to sound judgemental, that when squatters move, thay don't just bring their belongings, but also their habits, vices, and "their way of living".
Likewise, for the past years there is no major economic development in our baranggay and nearby areas to provide livelihood to these people, nor enough public schools for their children. We are also afraid of our security as there might be gradual increase in crimes, drugs, and burglary once they have settled here.
Is there anyway we can convince our municipal government not to push this project? Isn't our collective disagreement in this project be sufficient enough to counter this stupid law of land convertion they are bragging about?
Please help...our municipal government will put this into vote this Wednesday, October 24, 2007 in another public hearing.
Thanks and more power!
-- A concerned citizen from a peaceful small baranggay of Sta. Maria, Bulacan now being threathened by fear.
As an addendum to the above, I have been making a research for this purpose and found out about Memorandum Circular No. 54 (which you may access here http://www3.hlurb.gov.ph/yabbse/attachments/mc_54.pdf) stating:
Section 2-d. Reclassification of agricultural lands may be authorized through an ordinance enacted by the sangguniang panlungsod or sangguniang bayan, as the case may be, after conducting public hearings for the purpose. Such ordinance shall be enacted and approved in accordance with Articles 107 and 108 of the IRR of the LGC.
What does this mean? If in a public hearing where a lot of residents express their disapproval of the issue, will the issue be closed in favor of the people or will it just be one factor for decision making of the municipal government?
Probably they've (municipal councilmen) got some "suhol" from its developers to push this project.I am a just a student and if ever this will be the first public hearing i will attend. And I definitely want to kick some ass of those corrupt officials in our government.
As a student I dont have money yet to afford a lawyer to ask for some help. And people in our baranggay are planning to put a picket at the municipal hall but I dont think they've already consulted a lawyer...so please help me. Thanks.

DEAR GENTLEMEN AND LADIES,
I am studying the tax implications to a water utility company with congressional franchise and its branch in another municipality, which the local government granted a franchise. Here it goes:
1.) ABC Water Company is a holder of congressional franchise paying a 2% franchise tax and a non-vat registered;
2.) ABC was able to get a lease agreement with a local government to operate and manage its water utility. There is no franchise fee to be paid.
My questions are:
a. Is the branch in another locality VATable or Non-VATable? b. What taxes should the branch be paying?
c. If it is VATable, would it has any effect in the Financial Statement of the company, being a non-VATable in the other business?
Thank you very much.

I just want to make inquiry re issue of my cousin. She married her husband, Alo, and they have 4 children. Their concerns go this way:
Alo is the son of Xian and Yian. Xian, father of Alo, is an illegitimate son of GF. Xian's name was registered as Xian Kalaw Madrid, however, he was forbidden by the legitimate family of GF to use Madrid. Then, he started using Kalaw as his surname. Xian got married and had 6 children, all of which were registered with middle and surname JIMENEZ MADRID. However, from the time the children were baptized, their name was registered with middle and surname MADRID JIMENEZ. From then on, the children are using their name with middle and surname as MADRID JIMENEZ, believing that is it correct.
My cousin's husband, Alo, is constantly using his name to be ALO MADRID JIMENEZ instead of Alo Jimenez Madrid, which was registered in his birth certificate. Their problems are now facing them as to difficulty in securing a passport, the difficulties his benefits beneficiaries might face in the future due to the inconsistencies of his records.
All the records of Alo, from Baptismal Certificate, School Records, SSS, TIN, Insurances, Marriage contract, and birth certificates of their 4 children are all in his name ALO MADRID JIMENEZ and he would like to seek remedies to change his name to ALO MADRID JIMENEZ from Alo Jimenez Madrid. His reasons are:
1.) he is already known in that name;
2.) the trouble in explaining to the children and the people if he will be using the name in his birth certificate, Alo Jimenez Madrid, and then changing the records of his 4 children and his wife, which would post to be more difficult and expensive than of him changing his name alone.
Is there any possibility for him of changing his name?
Thank you and more power.

Good morning!
Just wanna ask: Will an agricultural land of less than 10,000 square meters be qualified for claim under the tenancy law?
This question is relative to acceptance of the DAR for litigation under tenancy law because the housewife of my cousin (they are separated now)claimed she is a tenant when in fact she is not because while they were still living together, they redeemed the property and settled there until they separated. But her housewife continued her stay in the land untill she filed a case claiming she is a tenant. But this land is less than 10,000 square meters.
I hope you can help me clarify because as I have read the law, for a land to qualify, it shall be 1 hectare in size. Thanks.

Hi. I would like to ask for your help. My grandfather, Ernesto Mozar, a pensioner, and a resident of Davao City, is quite sick. My aunt Jennifer, single, lives with him, and has the power of attorney to claim his monthly pension. Because of the physical condition of my grandfather, my father and two of his brothers, planned to make a visit, and to send him to the doctor. When they got there, and told him of their purpose, Aunt Jennifer angrily refused and disapproved the plan, and told them to use their own money if they really want to send grandpa to the doctor. Neither my father, nor my two uncles are financially stable. If they were, they would immediately send grandpa to the doctor. My grandfather however is very much financially stable. It is evident in the personal properties that they currently possess. Is there any legal way to convince my aunt to spend some money for the hospitalization? Is there any provision from the family code that corresponds to this problem? I hope that your kind office will help us. Thank you very much for your time. my email add is marpie17@yahoo.com.

a plaintiff company filed an action for annulment of mortgage against defendant bank with prayer for TRO/injunction for the registration of sale..the RTC denied the TRO...in the motion for reconsideration they changed their original prayer in the complaint for a TRO for the consolidation of ownership in favor of defendant bank and they had additional prayer for the RTC to issue an order declaring forcible entry against the defendants for allegedly occupying the subject premises...my question is: is the said MR proforma or is allowed by the rules?...if it is allowed by the rules, is the allegation of forcible entry proper in the MR or should it be brought in another proceedings or court?..thanks

I have had the unique privilege of observing from the sidelines the young and idealistic officers and soldiers belonging to the Magdalo group since our law office serves as counsel for 12 of these young men in the coup d’etat case filed against them at the Regional Trial Court of Makati.
I am particularly impressed by the spokesman and most renown member of the group, Lt/SG. Antonio Trillanes IV or “Sonny” as he is called by his friends. Like myself, Sonny traces his roots to Bicol. I understand that his father, Antonio Sr., also a graduate of the Philippine Military Academy like him, hails from Ligao in my home province of Albay at the heart of Bicolandia.
What particularly impresses me about this young man is not only his strength of character, moral courage and fortitude in the face of adversity but his selfless sense of duty to country and to his fellow Filipinos.
Not everybody agrees with what they did at Oakwood on July 27, 2003, but it cannot be denied that these young soldiers stood up and placed not only their careers and the future of their families but their very own lives on the line to fight for what they believe in. I wonder how many of our politicians today will ever have the moral courage to do this.
The Magdalo group blew the whistle on the massive, systematic and well-entrenched, if not institutionalized, corruption in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). Two years later, they were vindicated when this fact was confirmed with the prosecution and conviction of AFP comptroller and Army Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia, among others.
You will remember that despite the tense and volatile situation at the Makati Commercial Center at the time, Sonny’s group conducted themselves as the fine officers and perfect gentlemen they were, choosing to courteously escort guests out of the Oakwood Premier Hotel to get them out of harm’s way instead of trying to take advantage of them and using them as “human shields.”
Also, these soldiers even had the decency to pay their rooms as well as the food they consumed both at the hotel and at the supermarket even when no one was looking, an admirable display of honesty which we rarely see among public servants today, uniformed or otherwise. I know not everyone would admit it but I think we were all a little amazed and extremely proud of the conduct of these soldiers when we heard about this. I am sure I was.
Indeed, they have fired up our collective imagination and made us dream of what could be achieved if only there were more soldiers and policemen and bureaucrats and other public servants who are like them: honest, decent and upright to the end, even when no one is looking.
In the course of their ordeal during the last three years, I have come to learn that numerous attempts have been made to convince Sonny and his group to capitulate, give up their fight and just rejoin the fold and resume their careers with the rest of the apolitical, apathetic mainstream of the Armed Forces. These attempts were made with expressed promises of better treatment, lighter penalties and/or outright liberty. Admirably, Sonny and his group refused to be bought.
Sonny recently announced that he is seriously considering the possibility of running for the Senate.
Again, I am sure not everyone would agree with this development. In fact, I know that many people are questioning his intellectual capacity and political maturity for the position. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion.
As for me, I would rather have a political neophyte such as Sonny, whose ability to put love for country and service to the public above everything else is already proved, serving in any public office, whether the same be in the Senate, the House of Representatives or the executive and even the judiciary, anytime rather than have someone who may be competent, well-experienced and who exudes political savvy but whose heart is not in the proper place.
I know it is rather early but I am going to make a bold and brave prediction: Sonny Trillanes, if he ever runs for public office, would be the hottest upcoming Bicolano political rising star of the next decade.
I know he has what it takes and as long as he remains humble and success does not go to his head, he has the makings of a major political persona in the moulds of Raul Roco, Blas Ople, Claro Recto and other statesmen.
In fact, if he does not change, he has the makings of the first ever Bicolano president of the republic, a true Bicolano Eagle bound to soar high into the political stratosphere of the land.

Good morning!
I would like to inquire a situation in relation to compensation entitlement of a person injured in a bus accident. The person was a passenger of a tricycle. The injured person is 52 years old, no job. injury incurred was on her left leg. No fractured of any bones. The maximum treatment given was skin grafting and she is now out from the hospital. According to the police report it was the fault of the bus and its driver. There is no admission of liability on the part of the driver and its owner. Injured person has been hospitalized for about 1 month with all medical expenses paid by the owner of the bus. Bus was insured. Now injured person is asking for additional money to start her new life, so owner of the bus offer an amount but injured person refused. Bus owner felt that injured person's intentioin is to use the situation to obtain more money than they are entitled to.
Would you be kind enough to let me know to what extent an injured person is entitled to in respect of the accident?
Is there any liability on the part of the tricycle and its driver?
Thank you very much and God Bless!

Dear Sir/ Ma'am:
I was searching for rules or provisions governing contractual employees until I saw the. I
just have some queries in mind which I hope you will be able to answer.
I am a job-contract employee in a government instiution. I am receiving a fixed monthly
rate for my salary. Aside from that, I don't have any other benefits. I work 8 hours a day
and my workload is just the same as that of the regular employees. My first question is
that, what agency has the provision or rules protecting the rights of job-contract
employees like me or are there any povisions?
Second, I was told that there is no employer-employee relationship that exist between me
and my employer that's why I cannot also be part of any employees' union.
Is it right that my salary is being deducted for every holiday that occur during weekdays
since government employees are not required to work during holidays? Please note that my
salary is based on a monthly rate. And even if I come to work, the time that I rendered
service is not compensated but can only be used for offsetting in case of absences.
Where can I find rules on "no work no pay" policy for contractual employees?
I hope you could answer my queries...
Thanks!

I got a health insurance policy with a healthcare provider particularly caritas healthshield.I opted for the higher plan then and started paying for my premiums on a semi-annual mode.After paying for sometime and having done so for a substantial amount I missed my payments.I asked for an updating to be able to pay the remaining amount on my policy but unfortunately was unable to do so.The management said that I forfeited my payments for failure to meet the deadline. My last payment made two years and 2 mos. prior and according to their policy it would automatically be forfeited after two years. This has led me to raise these following questions?
1.The agent who solicited my policy was no longer connected with the company hence no followups were made before to effect payment.Moreover no notice of termination or demand was sent to me to collect the balance on my policy premium.Can my policy be forfeited without due and proper notification ?
2.I already paid a substantial amount to Caritas and my balance would then have constituted a fraction of my total premiums were it not for the increase in their premium payments covering the same plan to which effect no proper notification was ever given of such increase.Can they arbitrarily impose such increse without due process?
3. Based on my premium payments such amount would then have been sufficient to cover the full payment on a much lower plan.Could such effort not be resorted to by the provider if only to show good faith rather than outright forfeiting my payments penalizing for circumstanes which I believe they are enjoying because of a mere technicality in their policy?
4.What legal remedies can I resort to if only to continue with the policy,I am willing to pay the balance on the premium and enjoy my health claims?Is there a way to get back my premium payments should the company drop me from their roster rather than letting my previous payments be gone to waste?
5.I recently suffered a stroke and availment of benefits under such a plan would be a welcome relief for my medical bills and hospitalization expenses .
These then are the things that bug me and although I've done some research on the web to help my case I am at a quandary on what to do.Should I fight the big guys or is there a hope for justice in my case?
Thank you.
My son is currently using my maiden name on his birth certificate. By virtue of a subsequent marriage with the biological father a few years back how can I change my son's surname in his birth certificate? Do we need to get a court order to change details of his birth certificate? The complication is that my parents had given someone else's name as the father in the birth certificate after I have given birth to protect my family's interest as the biological father was still a minor at the time of my giving birth. Thank you in advance for your support.

good day everyone.
I would just like to consult everyone out there on my idea for my thesis.
anyway, here it is. I would like to question the validity of a car manufacturer's restrictions on its car buyers to use the car as taxis or PUVs. I know that in a contract, the parties can pput on the contract any stipulation provided that it is not contrary to law, morals, public policy, customs. But what about the right of the car buyer to use the car as he deems fit. isn't it one of the attributes of ownership is the right to use and enjoy one's property? how can he (the car buyer) have full use when there is such a restriction?
or should i just drop this topic?
btw, the car manufacturer allows their cars to be used as taxis in other countries.
thanks in advance.
Dear Sirs/Madams,
I'm not a law student much less a practicing lawyer. I am a part-time instructor in a state university. The university withheld our honoraria (which is our salary), to be released only after we are cleared for the semester. Some of us would be unable to clear our pecuniary accountabilities because we have no salary yet, which we cannot get until we clear ourselves of those accountability. Is there any possible remedy in this predicament? Help please. I thank you in advance.

i would like to ask your position re: employment contracts of callcenter agents wherein their are provisions that they are not to engage in any profession similar or related to the BPO industry for a period of one year after the termination of their employer-employee relationship.. although employees have resigned before for other companies it is only now that the management keeps on harping on this provisions because a lot of their employees are resigning and opting to apply to other BPO companies... now these are my queries..
a.) are these contracts binding even though they were not notarized and contains such provisions..? does this violate the terms of employment provisions under the labor code?
b.) are those employees liable for anything although their contracts does not contain any provisions for vilating the said provisions...?
c.) and are they still allowed to
act on the present employees when they have remained silent and did not act on hundreds of prior employees that have left the company and opted to seek positions at other BPO's?
thank you very much and more power....

Good day!
Sir, my former call center company-new call center - terminated me even Im a regular employee. I had no question with regards to the termination procedure, but they said' "you are not able to get any benefit from the company because you are teminated." As stated in my contract, I have a 13th month pay starting from the date I became a regular employee.
Is it true that I can't recieve any benefit from the company? if I can, what are those? What about PD 851, sir?
thanks!

greetings!
i would like to ask one simple question about political law.
Can the President create an office?
thanks and more power!
I am a project employee with a 3-years non-bond employment contract that I signed last December 2005 covering a fixed term employment from November 1, 2005 to October 31, 2008. On December 1, 2006 I was assigned to be the team lead of our group and on July 2007, I was made to sign again another contract but this time with several provisions added including an "indemnification" clause in case I pre-terminate the agreement. This new contract also changed my task list and reiterated anew the 24x7 nature of my job.
This second contract came too hard for me to sign that it took almost 2-3 months from the time it was given (April 2007) until I was confronted to sign it. On several occasions, I expressly told my boss that I do not intend to sign it on several reasons – the added provisions, the change in scope of work, the change in job title and the extended period which must have been a typographical as initially thought. We had several discussions only to find that the contract is indeed a "contract of adhesion" that is being offered as is without any opportunity for bargain considering the several changes introduced.
On an instance where I tried questioning the non-payment of OT and premiums as well as the real definition of the indemnity clause, my boss became emotive that I was given an ultimatum for that day to sign the contract or he will have the document recall and all consequences would follow. Since the contract is a "take it or leave it" offer, leaving it unsigned will cause me an automatic demotion as a team member from being a team lead. The salary increase based on my appraisal and promotion will be forfeited too. Since I was seen also to be delaying the signing due to questioning the technicality as well as legal aspect of the new agreement, my boss warned me that he too can immediately impose the harsh policies on me that I will be suspended the next day or even terminated immediately due to tardiness. I also quoted him saying that if we cannot agree on the terms, the fact that I will be treated by the book and face termination or dismissal would prevent me from getting another job applicable also in cases I pre-terminate the agreement since record would show that I was terminated and no company would hire a terminated employee.
The new contract came in different versions, 1st with the indemnity but extended tenure covering March 1, 2007 to February 28, 2009 versus the original period covering November 1, 2005 to October 31, 2008. Since it may have been a typographical error, I thought of raising it and so another contract was issued but this time with a different job title – IT Facilities Specialist versus the original title, SAP BASIS Administrator. The document still contained the added provisions including the "indemnity" clause but with the original contract period. This made me wonder why they had to generalize and somehow downgrade my title and change several provisions when the intention is only to formalize my assignment as Team Lead as well as document the salary increase plus the standardization of contracts. I openly expressed upon discussion that I took the job on the fact that it is a "non-bond" and based on the job title -SAP Basis Administrator. Changing them would violate the very reason why I took the job. The original job title has more value than the new generic title being given. Thus, I thought that due to the increase in employees resigning for a better job, the company has been revising contracts to ensure that employees are tied legally to stay and since “SAP Basis” is a hot skill in the IT industry, by changing our job title, it would somehow make it hard for us to attract employers after our tenure or make use of the job to seek for a greener pasture. Although, this was just an opinion which was later confirmed by my boss himself to ensure that employees finished their contracts. How about if they want to severe employment due to just causes? Will they, as aggrieved party, pay still the offender company?
I raised all the issues I could think of but still my boss used his position to tell me that it is the management's prerogative to state whatever provisions it deems necessary. Amidst inquiry, both HR and my boss did not explain fully the basics and implications of the “indemnity” clause but only to answer that the new contract is made to standardize employment contracts and that I have actually no choice but to accord since it is a prerogative practiced by the management. The only implication mentioned about the indemnity is based on the statement of my boss saying, "If di mo tatapusin, breach ka at may babayaran ka. If tatapusin mo, walang problema sa iyo itong kontrata". Due to this, I did not yet sign. I rejected the contract, protested about the threats being used and I told him that I am willing to be demoted the next day and be deprived of my increase based on my appraisal and added responsibilities. I was then told that I can no longer expect any exposure or growth since I have rejected his offer and has shown my distrust to his leadership and intention as my boss.
After a week, I was confronted again about the unsigned contract and this time I was given another contract with the new job title but this time affixing the word "-sap basis" so as it was stated as “IT Facilities Specialist – SAP Basis” which is now similar to my original job title "SAP Basis Administrator". I was also assured that on my COE, my title will be reflected based on the new contract and not merely based on the generic "IT Facilities Specialist". I then raised the issue on the effectivity date of the contract since my assignment as Team Lead was made effective last December 1, 2006, so the contract should be dated effective December 1, 2006 instead of the March 1 2007 indicated in the contract. This is to accurately record my job movement as well as to make fair computation for the retroactive pay since I was rendering extra services and tasks since I was appointed as Team Lead for almost 6 months now without any increase. In response, my boss reiterated that March 1, 2007 is to be reflected on the contract since that is the date when the assignment was made official since they have to “test” me from December 1, 2006 to March 1, 2007 if indeed their decision to appoint me is worth it and if I can indeed pass their criteria. More so, my boss explained that the retroactive pay was to start only from March 1, 2007 and not on December 1, 2006, although I have already served the post for 6 months with all the extended tasks that came about with it because by stating the latter date in the contract, the company would be compel to pay me more as retroactive pay. With this, I was assured nonetheless that in case I may need a COE, they will just note down on the COE that I started as a Team Lead on December 1, 2006 and not March 1, 2007 as based on the contract. I was assured also that the certification would include the full job title “IT Facilities Specialist - SAP Basis” to further add to my credential which was the reason why I was made to sign in.
Several talks which were more of verbal reprimanding than discussions were held including the 3 hours talk from 6PM to 9PM of July 17, 2007 where I was not able to help anymore my emotions and cry due to the pressure to acquire my signature on an agreement that I do not want to agree with noting that I have an existing contract that is still in effect and is due October 31, 2008. Since this occurred within the working hours, some employees witnessed this and I felt embarrassed although some employees were also subjected to the same treatment just so they are made to sign their new contracts. This was a fact and not an opinion that the managers were too desperate to have us sign even when we still have our old contracts in effect for unknown motives.
The sleepless nights and constant attack on my personality, professional, family as well as the use of some behavioural and past issues coupled with intimidation, grounding fear, unduly influence, failure to disclose fully the details of the new contract and the threat of being demoted, suspended and even terminated due to my tardiness has been too strong that on July 25, 2007, I gave up on the hope that I have to face the fact that the employer has more power to control my freedom of choice that I was finally made to sign the contract to settle the issue and perhaps due to the fact that being in dire financial need, the increase as well as the retention of my full job title is already enough to put this issue to rest. I believe that my only mere participation to the perfection of the agreement is to affix my signature and the rest was with my employer’s power.
A month after, August 2007, I thought of securing a Certificate of Employment (COE) to check whether what has been agreed upon and promised/assured was followed but to my surprise, my job title on record was the opposed generic title - "IT Facilities Specialist". Upon inquiries to HR department – Ms. Sauco, Ms. Sace and Ms. Hernandez, I was informed that the title was not updated and would remain as is based on the standard title used because no directive was received yet from the management for my new job title, as agreed to take effect. I was then told to inquire to my boss who was already replaced by another manager. I protested this to our TSG manager and to my immediate supervisor but no remedy or explanation was given. Instead I was directed back either to HR or to my boss who had me sign the contract. With this, I approached the boss who made me sign the contract on the assurance that I get to have the job title “IT Facilities - SAP Basis” – one of the assurance and promise that made me sign the contract at all. More so, the latter title alone merits a higher value for me as an IT professional other than being tagged generic as “IT Facilities Specialist”. I was instead told by my boss to talk to my direct supervisor since he is not anymore my direct boss. Due to this, I felt I was deceived and that my consent vitiated. With this, I believe that the contract is voidable and I long to have it voided. Now, the question is how I can nullify the entire contract and how much would it cost me if ever?
Lately, I thought of terminating the contract by sending a letter that is more of appealing for understanding rather than protesting since I have always believed that everything has to be settled amicably and peacefully rather than resorting to legal and offensive means. Since I am in financial need as well as in protest for the “contract of adhesion” that they made me sign plus the non-payment of overtime, night differential and premiums on holidays and rest days for the past 22 months that I have been rendering my service in an almost 24x7 onsite, offsite on-call setting, I decided to put an end to this engagement and just seek for a better job with a better pay and a better working condition. Upon lobbying my issue and notice of termination of employment contract, I was told that pre-termination would make me liable for a civil case to be filed against me for breach of contract and I will be obliged also under the law to indemnify or pay them a huge sum of money covering damages and other cost to the operation of the company brought about by my action. I paused since never it was discussed to me that I have a bond and this was expressed to me during the job offer way back in October 2005 with recruiter, Marijen Ibanen and was again assured to me verbally by HR – Ms. Sauco and Ms. Hernandez that indeed the contract I signed is not a form of bond. More so, this was not discussed to me clearly. The indemnity as per my understanding would apply if no written notice was given upon resignation and an employee goes AWOL in violation with what has been prescribed by the Labor Code and Company Policy that is to tender a written notice at least 30 days prior to effectivity date of the termination of contract to ensure proper turn-over and transition. For cases where the guidelines of the company and of the laws of the land were followed, indemnity or claims for damages should not apply. In as much as I would like to fully comply with the law that says all of us are protected from involuntary servitude and that as per Labor Code, any employee can terminate effective immediately their employment with due cause or with 30 days written notice in the absence of due cause where the fulfilment of the 30 days notice would free them from liability and damages. Unfortunately, the provisions on termination and indemnity in our employment contract seem too one-sided and favour only the employer who can terminate on several reasons but prevents employees from terminating their employment either for just causes or no just causes within the contract period.
It seems that anyone can resign or terminate but they will be facing a civil case for breach of contract and worse indemnify the company of an amount with no stated minimum and maximum that covers not just the amount of salary left with the contract but all the consequential and compensatory damages as well as the total loss incurred from the results in the business operation as alleged – although my absence won’t have an impact on production. Therefore, if I am leaving on the premise that a contract provision was violated and I invoke my rights under the Labor Code considering also that I am in financial crisis, I have no way out but to accept the fact that I have to stay since I cannot afford to pay the indemnity amount plus I have no money to defend myself and assert my rights back for the cases filed. To make it worse, my right to livelihood is at risk. In the contract as recently told by the HR manager upon presentation of my Letter of Termination of Employment Contract, the contract has also a provision for the employer’s right to injunction where I am not allowed and will be prevented to work for the period of 5 years for a job related to my current profession as an IT Professional (SAP). How can I possible provide for the needs of my family if the law itself would be interpreted in a way contrary to my basic rights?
If I counter-claim for the unpaid overtime pay and night differential, premium pay for holidays and rest days, etc. and seek to void the voidable contract that I currently have and is currently in effect, I know that this would cost me an amount as attorney's fee that I do not currently have. This would also be a difficult fight since I will be facing a company myself. With all these, I do hope that you can advise me on this. I am willing to send the original and new contracts that I have and if I can afford it, I can try to save some money to pay for your professional assistance if deemed affordable. I do hope that you can also give me tips on what correct steps to take – to submit a Letter of Termination due 30 days? To submit a Notice of Immediate Termination of Contract due to Just Cause? Or a Letter Voiding the Contract due to vitiated consent and breach of contract (job title on COE vs contract title)?
As a diligent father to my 7 year old son and as a responsible husband to my wife, it is my responsibility to provide and ensure them a better future. I believe that the contract given anew to me seem to deprive me of attaining this endeavour. I seek for your assistance. Thank you.

Hello sir.
I'm in dire need of your help.
I am a landlord leasing out my property to a certain individual for his trading business. His monthly lease is P80,000.00 He has arrears for 6 mos already and has no intention to pay while still occupying my lot. I planned to sue in court but was told I had to go to barangay level first for a certain certificate to file action which take 4-6 hearings before they give it out. I am very impatient and tired of him. Can I lock him out of the property since I have not received payment for so long and have given him numerous eviction and demand letters until he has paid? He has many stuff inside the property which definitely will anger him when he finds out about this. I know I can be legally liable as his retaliation for locking him out but he has to go thru the barangay too right?
Thanks. Kindly email me at federal@pldtdsl.net

Good day!
I would like to ask if a public hearing (baranggay level), where almost all its residents voted against a plan to put up a relocation site (mass housing sort-of) in our baranggay, isn't sufficient enough to quash the whole idea?
The deal is after the said baranggay public hearing, our baranggay council said that they will create an resolution about our refusal for the said project. However, we've found out a week after that our municipal government have taken the matter and conducted a public hearing(municipal level) which obviously very few of us (residents) know because we all beleived that the whole thing have been settled after the baranggay public hearing.
Based on the stories of some of the residents that have attended the municipal public hearing (fortunately somebody informed them of the said hearing) that there is this one councilor who seems to be really pushing for the realization of the project which we have utterly doesnt want. This councilor is saying that according to law, since the land is no longer being used for agricultural means for some time, it can now be converted to residential/relocation land.
Although we have nothing against converting it into a residential land, what the people of our baranggay are afraid of is our security and peace because the people they are planning to relocate here if ever are from some squatters area in the Metro. As we all know, though I don't want to sound judgemental, that when squatters move, thay don't just bring their belongings, but also their habits, vices, and "their way of living".
Likewise, for the past years there is no major economic development in our baranggay and nearby areas to provide livelihood to these people, nor enough public schools for their children. We are also afraid of our security as there might be gradual increase in crimes, drugs, and burglary once they have settled here.
Is there anyway we can convince our municipal government not to push this project? Isn't our collective disagreement in this project be sufficient enough to counter this stupid law of land convertion they are bragging about?
Please help...our municipal government will put this into vote this Wednesday, October 24, 2007 in another public hearing.
Thanks and more power!
-- A concerned citizen from a peaceful small baranggay of Sta. Maria, Bulacan now being threathened by fear.
As an addendum to the above, I have been making a research for this purpose and found out about Memorandum Circular No. 54 (which you may access here http://www3.hlurb.gov.ph/yabbse/attachments/mc_54.pdf) stating:
Section 2-d. Reclassification of agricultural lands may be authorized through an ordinance
enacted by the sangguniang panlungsod or sangguniang bayan, as the case
may be, after conducting public hearings for the purpose. Such ordinance shall
be enacted and approved in accordance with Articles 107 and 108 of the IRR
of the LGC.
What does this mean? If in a public hearing where a lot of residents express their disapproval of the issue, will the issue be closed in favor of the people or will it just be one factor for decision making of the municipal government?
Probably they've (municipal councilmen) got some "suhol" from its developers to push this project.I am a just a student and if ever this will be the first public hearing i will attend. And I definitely want to kick some ass of those corrupt officials in our government.
As a student I dont have money yet to afford a lawyer to ask for some help. And people in our baranggay are planning to put a picket at the municipal hall but I dont think they've already consulted a lawyer...so please help me. Thanks.
Good day!
Sir may i ask your advice about my family's case back home.
I am working abroad and my family has been hassled by one of my couzins(my father's nephew) 2-3 times but my fathet didn't do anything about it because he's a ministry in our church and he doesn't want trouble.But my couzin keep doin it and the last incident happen very recently involved my older brother.This couzin of ours went into his house and attack him for no reason.My brother as well as his wife and kids got away with it and this time around they will sue him.
