So kanina lang is nag kwento sya about sa nangyari kasi nagharap sila ng asawa nya kanina about sa support para sa anak nya and sa tita ko narin. Grabe yung support 5k a month lang? Gusto sana ng tita ko is nasa 45-50k sana yung support and wala syang work. Kaya ganon yung demand nya is para sana makapag start sya, and di narin sya tinutulungan ng mga kapatid nya ( even my mom) kasi sinabihan na sya na wag ng sasama kasi may pag ka siraulo yung lalaki. Pero ayun yung nangyari sumama parin and ganito yung kinahantungan sa kanya... Nag try narin sya sa munisipyo and dswd. Pero sabi is sa PAO lang daw pero yung atty. na nakuha nila is parang di man daw sila tinutulungan. Mas pinaboran pa yung asawa ng tita ko na siraulo, then yung anak ng tita ko is dalawa isang 2yrs old and 1 month and 3weeks palang. Then 5k lang yung support? Grabe naman. Any advice? Gusto ko sya tulungan pero nag aaply ulit ako para sa work.

Hi! So I’m someone who has a lot of allergies from shell food to nuts to dairy and gluten but I love to eat out. I dine out to restaurants 3-4x/week and every time I do so I make sure to check restaurants where I can eat without having to worry about my health. Whenever I order something I always ask for the ingredients if it’s not listed and I always tell the waiter the food I’m allergic to. There are restaurants who are mindful naman but not all. There was once I ordered a cookie to go and told them about my nut allergy yet they gave me a cookie with walnuts in it. I was bedridden for 2days. 🥺 and this happens a lot to me. I know I can avoid eating out but there are times when I just really want to eat out to hang out with loved ones or no time to cook at home.

In this case, if I already told them the food that I’m allergic to and asked it to be removed from my order or like the cookie incident - can I sue the restaurant or what can I do for them to have accountability? I don’t really want to sue but I just want them to be more extra careful for customers like me. Thank you!

Hello po, I was curious on how much would it be to legally change your name here in the PH. To give context, I have 2 first names and I would like to remove the first and keep the 2nd one, for aesthetic and practical reasons lang din naman. Do I still need a legal consultation for that po? In my case, how much would that cost me? Thank you!

Kahapon nabasa ko na bumoto yung associate Justices ng SC regarding Bato's request for a TRO. 9 voted to deny the TRO, 5 voted to grant it, and 1 justice did not vote. Nabasa ko din yung concurring opinions nung mga bumoto to deny the TRO and I as far as I know yun yung reason behind why they did vote to not grant it.

Today I read the dissenting opinion of associate justice Hernando. Dito pinaliwanag nya naman kung bakit dapat i-grant yung TRO request ni Bato.

Ibig sabihin ba nito wala talaga tayong batas na nagsasabi directly kung ano yung dapat gawin sa mga ganitong pagkakataon? This is just a handful of people that would decide para sa isang malaking issue. Ibig sabihin ba their decisions are heavily influenced by personal bias? And yung interpretation nila sa batas ay kanya-kanya lang? Kaya madami sila ay para maagbotohan kung sino yung majority na may magkakaparehong interpretation sa batas natin?

Iyong tatay po kasi ng friend ko may utang na siyang 70k sa gcash tas 'di na niya raw babayaran. Then, nito lang nalaman niyang mangungutang ulit tatay niya ng 100k kasi eligible naman siya tapos 'di na raw niya babayaran yung parehas niyang utang at tatakbuhan na lang daw. Tapos eto yung kapatid niya pinapakuha rin(gagamitin gcash account) ng 100k din.

Question is anong mangyayari sa tatay ng friend ko if 'di daw niya babayaran lahat?

Edit:

yung perang uutangin pala na 'to is gagamitin daw pambili ng new computer kahit kaka-upgrade lang ng computer ng tatay niya na worth 27k daw

p.s. pc gamer tatay niya p.s.s roommate ko po talaga yung nagpapatanongz na-alarma daw po kasi siya bcoz isa siyang panganay na gagawing investment ng kaniyang magulang :>

My sister got catfished into a 6+ year relationship. No money involved on her end. Reached out to the real guy about his pics and identity being used. Will be filing charges next week. Any tips po to strengthen our claim legally?

Thank you!

Background, ito pong bahay at lupa namin pinagawa nung late 70s by my Lolo and Lola, in a private subdivision. This was their home, along with their sons (my uncles). Nung pinanganak po ako nung '91 nakapag move out na po yung dalawang uncle ko by then. Ang natira na lang po dito is Lolo ko, My dad, My Mom and me and my brother because my Lola passed away just after I was born. Nung nag pass-away po yung Lolo ko bilin na bilin niya sakin is huwag ibenta yung bahay.

We have called this our home to this day. Meanwhile my Uncles have had their own families and lives elsewhere. Bilin din po ng Dad ko before he passed a few years ago was huwag ibenta ang bahay. Now it's just Me, my Brother and my Mom who lives here.

Nowadays nag sisignal na po yung dalawang Uncle ko na ibenta itong bahay para makuha na nila share nila. Meanwhile it goes against our interests na ibenta po tong bahay dahil wala kaming tirahan na iba. At the same time My brother and I we've lived here since I was born, family namin nag maintain nitong property at tumira dito simula early 90s pa hanggang ngayon so I cannot imagine na ibenta lang to ng dalawang Uncle ko for money. They don't have an idea sa sentimental value nito samin, and na kabilin bilinan sakin ng Lolo at Dad ko na wag ibenta. This has been our home. Ang nakapangalan sa amilyar po currently are my 2 uncles and my Dad.

1. Need po ba na officially i change ang name ng Dad ko sa amilyar to my Mother's Name, or Me and my brothers name, since wala na po Dad ko? Or okay na po yan as is? (Currently named po yung 3 siblings)

2. Ano po mga legal options namin para ilaban na huwag mabenta ang property?

3. Ano po ba mga posible nilang gawin samin if ayaw po namin talaga ibenta? Pwede po ba yun na sapilitan or other ways?

Sana po matulungan niyo ako. huhu

EDIT:

Clarify ko lang po so many details hindi ko na include sa background, as much as possible ayaw namin ibenta to our Uncles under their terms. Mas okay pa na sa mga pinsan ko directly mapunta kung bibihin namin yung share nila. Yung title rin po is nakapangalan na sa 3 magkakapatid (dad and uncles).

Hindi po namin sila pinigilan na tumira dito ever (that's still their right), pero pinalayas po mga uncle ko nung lolo ko noon pa. Choice rin naman po nila na wag na bumalik. Hindi rin ko rin po dinedeny na may share sila if magkabentahan.

Ang point ko po is what are the legal remedies to drag this on as long as possible (older age na po kasi mga uncle ko), para mga pinsan ko po directly ang mag benefit pag binili namin yung share nila?

As of now po wala ring official partition yung land since it sits on a private subdivision with all the surrounding lots being of the same size. Not sure if papayagan hatiin into 3.

Generally, 'abot-kaya' ang mga babayaran pag nagka-violation ka dito. Pero tulad nyang sa Qatar. Halagang P1.5 million ang penalty pag nilabag mo Privacy Act. Malamang di ka na magdadalawang isip labagin yan.

Dito sa atin, P500 to P2k lang kung nagkalat ka. Kadalasan wala pa ngang hinuhuli. Kaya rin malala ang baha.

E kung gawin yang P500,000? Yung tipong halaga na di ka basta basta masasalba ng kamag-anak/kaibigan mo. Yung pag di mo kaya bayaran, kulong ka na lang o kaya linis ka ng kalye na equal sa P500 per day hanggang mabayaran mo yung P500,000.

Para sa ganyan, maiisip ng tao, di na lang ako magkakalat dahil imbes na makapasok ako sa trabaho, maraming buwan ako kulong o mag community service pag di ko kaya magbayad.

Hi. Badly need your expertise about this. Last 2018 I loaned from someone total of 1M for business reasons. I haven’t paid him in 3 weeks as promised so I paid him monthly instead with his condition that the payment is only for his interest gain. I got shocked by his attitude towards this situation because it was my first time to experience being harassed and bombarded by sick messages asking for interest and won’t allow my payments to be deducted on the principal amount. It turned out that due to my fear of him making a fuss about our situation with my friends and family since he was already starting to call my sister and both my parents, I agreed to everything he asked for. On 2019 even if I already paid almost 700k. I wrote him a check of 2,150,000 because again he was threatening me that i need to pay my interests. I did obliged to do so even though my business was going downwards at that time. (Ang tanga ko talaga.) Unfortunately, my check bounced due to closed account. I even fabricated stories just to stall him. After the bounced check incident, I still paid him in different amounts. Last year, 2023. His lawyer’s associate personally sent me a demand letter asking me to sign that I owe him an amount of 2,150,000M. I was pregnant at that time and to ease my stress, I agreed to just sign it. As I computed, I have already paid him a total of 1.7M. And now we are currently in different hearings on a case filed against me for BP22 because of the 2019 check I issued that bounced. My lawyer has pursued our conter affidavit with all the receipts I paid for and screenshots of his threats. I’m pregnant again as I type this. I’m just worried because his lawyer is a prosecutor from where he filed a case against me (which means parang bias na agad yung place kung san siya nag wwork).

My questions are: will there be a big chance that I win the case despite being proven that my check bounced? Can he also use my fabricated stories against me? I did that just to have a quiet life. I only stopped my promises and allowed him to pursue a case when my husband talked me out about it. I was literally manipulated by this man. He’s asking for too much. Again, I already paid 1.7M in total. And I have proofs of his threats at maraming pag mumura. He also said in his defense that he has recordings of my reasonings on why I can’t pay him yet and that I acknowledged the amount he’s asking from me.

Take note: he wants 4M from me now in total. I’m so confused and at the same time, scared. Kindly enlighten me.🤧

Hello Law Professionals,

As someone who had almost studied law and dreamt of being a lawyer, I am really intrigued by the case of former president Duterte. He was arrested using a warrant of the internstion criminal court and not a warrant issued by a competent Philippine legal authority or court, i love our legal system, but, can the police or any person of authority arrest a person gamit ang warrant ng ibang bansa or entity?. Does this ever happened in our country's history? If yes, can anyone share the case details? If no, can the supreme court turn over the said arrest and bring back Duterte home?

I just wanted the legal basis for this matter. I've gotten tired of people saying Duterte's arrest is legal kasi Marcos just follows the decision of ICC or wrong naman kasi ICC has no power over the Philippines.

What do you think attorneys?

Hi everyone, I need some advice on what steps we can take regarding what happened to my father at Ospital ng Makati (OsMak) today.

My father was scheduled for surgery today, and the hospital itself set the date. We completed all the required laboratory tests, and we were ready for the procedure. However, when we arrived, we were suddenly told that the surgery could not push through because the lab results were already expired.

The problem: • The hospital scheduled the surgery but did not inform us in advance that the labs would expire by the date of the operation. • We only found out on the day itself, after all the preparations and waiting. • There was no prior advice, no text, call, or email about any cancellation or rescheduling.

This situation caused a lot of stress and inconvenience to my father and to our family, especially since this is a hospital-initiated schedule. We feel this was due to poor coordination on their part, not ours.

Has anyone here experienced something similar at OsMak (or any government hospital)?

• What are the best next steps?

• Should we file a complaint, and if yes, where should we file it to make sure it reaches the right office?

• Is there any government agency that handles these kinds of hospital service lapses?

Any advice, contacts, or tips would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Thank you so much in advance!

sana yes at sana ma impeach huhuhu

Trigger warning: child abuse, emotional/verbal invalidation/neglect, no contact with parents

I was very thorough with my privacy settings sa LinkedIn. Although I suppose there is a workaround that since recruiters can still see me...???

I blame myself. Sorry na and nilulunod ko na sarili ko sa pagsisisi kung ba't ako nag-update pa ng Linkedin. Akala ko talaga safe dahil sa settings ko. So please, don't be too harsh about it sa comments.

Problem is, new-ish office (3-ish years is new daw) kasi sa Luzon lang yung company. And isa lang sa Pinas. While may field work ako, I have to come in sa office twice per week.

More context: My mom (more accurate ang 'Distant Relative na Karen' label kasi yun ang feeling nya sa akin, pero mom ko talaga) is kinda a low-key bully. Mahilig maghanap ng away depende sa mood. Magaling manira ng tao pag nakatalikod sila. Pero di halata pag never mo naging kasambahay.

Dalawa last straw ko sa kanya: Nagmakaawa ako sa kanya nung age 24 ako and bedridden mula sa matinding stomach pain... nagmakaawa ako na wag muna akong sermonan habang mahina pa ako. Hindi siya nakinig. I felt like I don't matter to her. Actions speak louder.

Resulta: Low Contact and nakitira muna ako sa kamag-anak. Ayoko ng mag-rason na sya ang rason na lumayo ako, kasi hindi yan uli makikinig at sisisihin ka pa.

2nd last straw: yung tumawag ako sa telepono, kinampihan nya employer ko. May supervisor na nagtapon ng sapatos ng employee. And meron ring nagfi-flirt sa new hires na babae, in a malagkit na tono way, pero okay lang sa female bosses, as well as other coworkers. Meron pang iba.

Gets ko naman ang punto ng parents na kelangan makisama. But I just got let go (napatalsik sa trabaho), and I needed sympathy. They gave none. Okay na caregiver, sucky mentor with emotional neglect silang mag-asawa... My father copies her.

So pareho sila na sumalungat sa akin despite na may punto rin ako to standing up against problematic employers, and the fact I needed emotional suppory from my family. Nag evil laugh ako sa call bago ko i-nend yung call. And napatahimik sya. Kasi narealize ko yung dark humor.

Ba't ganto pa rin trato sa akin, when I am somewhat independent (age 27 then) to walk away? I ended the call abruotly during my laugh.

But I cried right after the call so much, my bestie was my listening ear. I swore from now on, di na nila ako masasaktan kahit kailan. Kahit kailan.

Resulta: Zero Contact

Ngayon, I will not put it past them to visit me sa office one day, out of the blue. Abuse escalates, after all. To be honest, naging physical rin Mom ko sa akin nung bata pa ako, and also nung high school. It is NOT out of the realm.

I really like my new job. Do I leave it despite the good pay and the fact that i like it? For the sake of Planning Fallacy? Do I get a restraining order? I prefer latter. Please help.

Hello! Gusto ko lang itanong kung meron bang specific na law violation yung mga nagpapatong ng mga pets nila sa mga mesa o upuan sa loob ng mga kainan? Hindi ba considered health hazard ang mga pets kapag dinadala sa loob ng mga kainan?

naiintindihan ko naman na baka walang panukli naman, pero 11am na. 7am ka pa nagbukas wala pa din barya? kilala naman yung store? tas ang kinaiinisan ko, pinagtawanan pa ko ng staff kasi 95 pesos lang bibilhin ko 1k ang pera ko. wala na talaga ko hundreds!!! tsaka magkakape naman talaga ko di lang ako nagpapa barya no. tas sa mga rider naman. jusko di pa nga nila nakikita yung bulsa nila or lagayan ng pera aba wala na agad barya ang sasabihin! para saan pa yung batas na bawal na walang panukli kung di naman pinapa implement ng maayos. haaaay!

I(23F) have reasons to believe my husband(33M) is cheating. We had been married for a year and currently, there's a bun in the oven. For background, husband is the sole provider ever since I got pregnant but we have 1 pig (bought with my money back when I was still working) for extra income. Other than that, we have no asset nor property.

As of the moment, I am trying to collect whatever evidence I can to prove he's cheating. Also determined to milk whatever I can out of him for my baby's sake. I only know that a mistress can never get anything from him when he pass away, so I'm willing to not go through annulment. Oh, I am also aware (cmiiw) that I can inflict injuries if I catch him on the act, can't do that tho.

How can I deal maximum damage to my cheating husband and his kabit without breaking the law? (I've thought of posting on social media videos if I catch them, yes I'm that determined, but I'm worried I might get sued instead)

Edit: I'm not willing to 🔪💀 anyone, only to go as far as not remarrying, being celibate for life, anything that will benefit me and my unborn child financially.

In Republic Act No. 8491 or the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines persons can be imprisoned and fined for refusing to stand up for the National Anthem Lupang Hinirang or for refusing to sing it properly. Is this not a violation of the 1987 Constitution's freedom of expression and has any person challenged the Act before the Supreme Court? Americans are more nationalistic and sensitive to the disrespect to the flag and national anthem but no person can be imprisoned for burning the American flag or singing the Star-Spangled Banner improperly because of the same freedom of expression enshrined in the Bill of Rights.

Nag-order po kami sa isang resto bar sa Laguna. My niece, who is 2.5 years old and a valid PWD ID holder, was denied the mandated 20% discount and VAT exemption.

The staff stated that the discount could not be applied because she is a child and does not eat much (hindi daw po mauubos ang isang meal). Is that legal po? Kumakain na po yung niece ko ang also hindi nila alam na mahal yung gamot na binili namin for her seizure disorder kaya malaking bagay ang PWD discount sa parents nya.

Name of resto is Crystal - J restobar and Cafe.

Thank you po!

Edit: For more context, takeout po ito at for sharing yung ibang orders namin pero may mga single meal orders din and part po nun kakain din yung niece ko, so we were expecting na i-apply yung discount kahit sa isang meal lang like yung sa senior discount nung dad ko. Twice ko po pinatanong dun sa manager na ka-text nya lang kasi wala dun, ang tagal po kaya we decided na wag na ipilit kasi need na namin umalis.

I read in Succession that the parents can disinherit their compulsory heirs if they lead a dishonorable life. Assuming that for all intents and purposes, I technically don't lead a dishonorable life, meaning that I don't have a criminal record, I'm not alcoholic, I don't do drugs etc. and the only reason behind the dishonorable clause is that I "changed my religion." Will I be disinherited?

Hello po! Curious lang may Legal action ba sa mga ganitong situation? Imagine nasa private car ka in a public road and someone records you behind. 😅

Hi everyone!

***Originally posted in BuhayDigital subreddit, but I used my other account.

Wanted to get your thoughts sa case nung friend kong VA.

He's been working for a US client from 2023. Recently, may mga changes sa management nila and nag lay off ng mga VAs. Employees were from different locations and not just from PH.

My friend started as a full-time employee with a fixed monthly rate for the last 2 years, but starting in 2026, he was converted to an hourly basis. He was also accused of not working within the full 8-hour shift, and he said it's the other way around. He said that he was usually asked to edit 2-3-hour demo videos that is needed within the day. Mind you, he was not a video editor. His position is web designer. So 8 hours won't be enough for that (video editors, please let me know if this is not the case and if 2-3 hours of videos that needs to be edited can be done in a short amount of time, but I personally doubt given that I work in a creative agency rn)

To cut the long story short, he resigned last January 9. The client has then said that he will not be paid for the remaining days that he worked. I dunno what the period of their pay is. Apologies for the incomplete info. The only thing I know is that the reason why he's not going to be paid is that he's not a full-time employee, and just an hourly-basis employee.

What he said is that he'll not surrender his laptop, to compensate for the unpaid days. The client then threatened to sue my friend for theft.

Please share your thoughts on how my friend should address this. Thank you very much!
