Good day, I would ask for help or any advise of this. A agent asking me for the cancellation fee’s that I was not approved to process the renewal of the Car Insurance. I am only inquiring for the quotation for 3 months payment that moment, that’s why I send a Gov’t ID as for I thought, but she initiates to process the document of renewal without verifying me the details she sends to me. Do I need to pay this or what is the best to refuse her email. Thanks,

Hello. The father bought a property for his illegitimate child however, few years after he and his common law wife separeted bringing with her their child. The father could no longer locate his child. The father sold the said subject property and the buyer knowing the problems of the land title still pushed through with the contract of sale. Their agreement was 80k as the earnest money will be paid on monthly installments and the balance thru a pag ibig loan. However, the buyer failed to pay the earnest money. The buyer contend that the seller allowed the delay of payment because he was unable to deliver a clean land title which is their agreement. The seller now wants the buyer to vacate the subject propert. Is the seller allowed to do so? What is the status of their contract to sell?
Your answer would be a great help! Thank you ?

Dear atty Kalibre, ang tao ba pong naka-kulong, para ma release, kailngan ba po mag bayad ng DDE, ano ba po ang ibig sabihin ng DDE ?at mag-kano po kung sakaling may bayad >
Hi good aftern po. Hingi lang po sana aq ng advise medyo mahaba haba po ito. Taong 2016 may ginaratoran po ang mama ko na mahigit P50,000 plus umutang din po ang mama ko ng P50,000 sa iisang tao. Ngayon po bago matapos ang taon ng 2016, tinakbuhan po kami ng ginarantoran ni mama ng pera. Suma total po P120,000 po ang dpt naming bayaran. Ako po na panganay ang may mataas na sahod kaya ako po nagbabayad ng 10k every month. Ito pong August 2019, namatay po ang mama ko at may natira pa po kaming utang na P53,000. Nawalan po ako ng trabaho at yung kapatid ko po na may trabaho ay hindi kaya ang ganong halaga pra mabayaran pa ang natitira naming utang. Ngayon po mula buwan ng Agusto hanggang Nobyembre ay hindi ko na po nabayaran pa ang aming utang. One time po, tumawag po nanay nung pinagkakautangan namin at nagsasabi na bayaran po ang aming natitirang utang spagkat kung hindi ay kukunin po nila yung prinendang lupa ni mama sa kanila dahil may pinirmahang kontrata si mama na kapg 2 yrs at hindi pa kami bayad, kukunin nila ang lupa. 2 yrs na po ito ngayong November. Hindi po namin alam magkapatid na meron po pala silang kontratang pinirmahan. Ang kaso pa po, yung lupang sinasabi nila ay naibenta na po sa ibang tao taong 2018 pa po. Ano po ang dapat naming gawin? Maraming salamat po.

My first husband in 1988 abandoned me and cannot be found for 35 years. I married another man in 2015. In 2017 I was told that my first husband died in 2017 after being bedridden for 3 years. Is my second marriage void? If it is, what Philippine law says so. If it is valid, what law applies? Should I marry my second husband again to make it valid? Please reply. thanks
