Good afternoon. I am a graduate of a medical school in South of Metro Manila. I have completed and passed their course in 2018. I also do not have any outstanding financial obligations with the school. But, they are refusing to provide me (indeed, all of the students of our batch) a copy of our TORs and other credentials so we can apply for the upcoming medical board exams, unless we take a mandatory mock exam. This exam is 1000 Php per student and will take up much of our scheduled review time.
Question: Is it legal for the school to withhold our TORs and other school credentials, even if we have already finished the course? If not, what legal remedy can we take so we can get our credentials as soon as possible so we can quickly procees our application for examination?
Thank you for your time.

Hi attorney i just want to ask is a 1951 legal agreement regarding land selling still valid till now?
Attrny ask ko lang po pano mag file NG annulment
Hello po attorney. Naka-aksidente po ako ng pedestrian last wednesday (july 10, 2019) around 6:00am going to work. Kasama ko din po yung kasintahan ko nung time na maaksidente kami. Pareho kaming dinala sa hospital pero afterwards pinilit kong makalabas ng hospital kahit may pinsala ako para lang maasikaso ko yung pedestrian na nabangga ko. Bali motorcycle po yung sasakyan ko. Tumungo po ako agad sa hospital na pinagdalahan nung nabangga ko pero nasa emergency room pa sya nung mga oras na yun. Tumungo kami sa presinto dahil tumawag sakin yung pamangkin which is the representative nung nabangga kong tao. Pinag-ayos kami and nagkarun ng agreement na sasagutin ko yung gastusin sa hospital. The saddest part is nakararanas ako ngayon ng harassment sa pamilya nung nabangga kong tao. Gusto po nila, manatiling naka-impound yung motorsiklo ko at lisensya which is ginagamit ko sa hanap-buhay. Ipinaliwanag ko na sa kanila sa presinto na wala akong ibang pagkukuhanan ng pangkabuhayan at pangtustos kung ipipilit nila na naka-hold ang lisensya ko at ang sasakyan ko. Sa kasalukuyan, hindi ko naman po tinalikuran yung responsibilidad ko sa kanila. May mga paunang panggastos na kaming naibigay kagaya nung pambayad sa CT Scan worth Php 12,000.00. Ngayon po (june 15, 2019) dumalaw ulit ako sa hospital. Ooperahan daw yung matanda. Ok lang po sakin yun pero yung mga conditions na idiniscuss sakin nung pamangkin is hindi makatarungan. Gusto po nila na hanggang sa maka-recover yung naaksidente ko eh magbigay pa rin daw ako ng panggastos. Di ba po ang sinasaad lang ng batas is “responsibility until his/her full recovery from the accident”? I-correct nyo na lang po ako kung mali yung perception ko regarding road accidents…

Hi atty.

Pero lagi siyang nagpopost sa facebook about sa utang ko at di daw ako nagbabayad though kakabayad ko lang, pati officemate ko sa new work inaadd nya para makita posts nya. Ano po kaya ang pwede kong gawin? Thanks po.
