Nagloan po kami sa banko at nakacollateral ang aming bahay. Hindi po kami nakabayad ng 4 na buwan, nagbigay sila ng petsa at amount na dapat nmin bayaran. Napakalaki na agad ng interest nila kaya humingi kami ng palugit kahit 2 araw lang. Ayaw nila pumayag at pinasa na daw nila sa legal ang kaso nmin. After 1 day ng deadline nila, nakahanap kmi ng pera kaso ayaw na nila tanggapin. Sa August na lang daw magbayad. From 54k ay naging 120k ang pinapabayaran samin. Napakalaki nun at wala na kmi mahahagilap nun nang basta basta. Ano po ang pwede at nararapat namin gawin?
May nabuntis po ako. Ayokopong i acknowledge yung bata pero i promise to support the child. Then the girl texted me na gusto nyang ipagawa ko siya ng bahay para sakanila ng anak namin at di na daw nya ako guguluhin. Sa pagkakaalam kopo ay support lang sa bata ang kailangan.. can you please give me an advise po? Salamat po
Good day po.
Need ko lang po ng advice on what to do.
Ako po ay isang Contract of service personnel sa DENR Central Office. Ang problema ko po ay required na po kaming magsuot ng uniform. Pero di naman ho kami sakop ng Civil Service Laws and Regulations at wala din po kaming employer-employee relationship so hindi po kami entitled sa uniform allowance. Nakalagay po sa kontrata namin na kelangan naming sumunod sa MC 14 S. 1991 ng Civil Service Commission pero banggit ko nga po before na hindi naman kami sakop ng Civil Service. Ano po ang dapat gawin?
Dear Atty,
Good day. Considered po ba na constructive dismissal or illegal dismissal po ung pagkkaroon ng replacement sakin khit naman po di pa ako nagreresign at wala din po akong pahiwatig na magreresign ako. Sinabihan po ako na hanggang July 31, 2019 na lang ako. Pero until now po di prin po ako nagsasubmit ng resignation. Pahelp naman po atty. Salamat po.
Hello po,
We bought a house po from an individual, the contract I have from the seller is the Deed of conditional sale. The amount of the house is 1.1M 5 years to pay with 16% interest per year. 25k per monthly mortgage. We were able to pay 500k amount na po as of date, pero ngayon is tight na tight na po ang budget. Meron pong naka indicate the contract na if we failed to pay 3 consecutive months pwede na po nyang kunin ang bahay. We failed to pay po at ang option na nakikita namin is to loan sa bank or pag-ibig para po sana lumiit ang monthly payment namin, pero wala pa po kasing title ang bahay kaya hindi ko po ma-asikaso yung sa loan options. Ang sabi po ng seller wala pa din daw po ang title pero lalabas na daw any time soon.
Meron din po akong napansin sa agreement namin na hindi ko po alam kung malaki o maliit na problema po ba.
Yung seller po kasi as pumirma as witness sa conditional sale at iba ang pangalan na nakalagay as owner of the house. Ang payment po namin ay derecho po sa seller, wala po kaming resibo ang sabi po kasi nya is kung gusto daw po namin ng resibo everytime kami ay magbabayad kami ang magbabayad ng tax, hindi ko po sure kung ano po yun, kaya ang ginawa po namin is yung sa paraan po nya, everytime po na magbabayad kami isusulat nya sa likod ng conditional sale yung date, amount ng bayad at pipirmahan nya po, may pagkakataon din po na magdedeposit kami sa banko po nya.
Ganito naman po ang status ng papel ng bahay. ORIGINAL OWNER -> 1st buyer (New owner) -> 2nd buyer (SELLER) -> KAMI
Yung paper po between the original owner and 1st buyer ang malinis po at pirmado ng both parties, pero yung papers po between the 1st buyer and the 2nd buyer which is our seller ay hindi po malinis, at hindi pirmado ng both parties. Pero yung papers po between the seller at kami ay pirmado ng both parties pero yung seller nga po ay nakapirma as witness lang.
Ano po kayang type na agreement ang meron kami? pwede po ba talagang mabawi saamin ang bahay?
Marami pong salamat!

Hi! Just want to ask. I really feel like there’s something wrong. The wife of our employee recently just got arrested. She was caught in a gambling place at our town. They were held up by the police in jail because of that reason. That I get The thing is, they were all required to undergo drug testing just because the police found a prohibited drug in one of them (still questionable). I just want to confirm if the rights of the wife of our employee was stepped on. I mean, do you need to have an order or something to have someone undergo a drugtest? Correct me if I’m wrong, but are the police allowed to do that? Thank you! I am hoping for a response.
