I just want to ask something regarding lateral transfer.
I was transferred from one company to another and I found that I did not fit in with the company and the job I was transferred to. My bosses approved to make a lateral transfer again so that my 5 years with the company would not go to waste, but our HR wants me to resign and apply as a new employee if I want to return to the my previous employer. As per them, employees only have 1 lateral transfer and since I already used it, it’s not possible to make lateral transfer again.
Good day. I would like to joined in the discussion.
Atty ano pong gagawin pr maobliga n magbayad ung umutang ng umutang. Dahil nangako n magbabayad pero nanloko lng pl. Pati bayad ng umutang sa akin itinakbo nya..
I am Englishman living in the Philippines you cannot purchase your own land in the Philippines it has to go through the Philippine person.
Some things popped up that I cannot believe.
I was away in England and a lawyer came to our house and said the building line was through my garage she demanded 100,000 pesos or she taking to court.
She did not offer any proof whatsoever of this line or imaginary line going to my knowledge my wife said they do not need to give any proof whatsoever to demand money.
All I’m really asking is this such a law they don’t need to prove anything into go to court and demand the money and everybody knows that will cost a fortune going to court is being a very worrying time to me when I’m 70 years of age and retired in the Philippines to have no hassle jasteeples@yahoo.com
