Goodmorning po sa inyo mga sir. Hihingi po sana ako ng tulong o payo. Na impound po ang motorcycle ko noong 2016 na hiniram sa akin ng kaibigan ko para daw sunduin ang asawa nya pero nahuli po sya sa checkpoint noon dahil sa iligal na droga. Nagfile po ako ng motion for release nong year 2016 din pero na denied po eto. Ngayon po meron pa po ba akong habol sa motorcycle ko at may pagasa pa po bang mabawi ko pa ito?sa kadahilanang wala naman po akong kinalaman o ang motor ko sa gawain ng taong iyon at ang pagpapaalam nya sa akin ay gagamitin lang para sunduin ang misis nya.ano po ang dapat kong gawin. Salamat po kung may makakapag payo dto sa akin

Hi Atty, pa help po ako ng advise if my kaso pa na pwedeng isampa sa tao na naghamon, pagbabanta at pointing finger sakin during hearing seasion or “Lupong” sa barangay ?
Good day Atty. !
This is Henry, What can we do to stop us from shaming from this Online loan that has different name Fast cash/Good Loan/Peso cash we know that we’re unavaible to fulfill our obligation to them because my mom has to go for medication and it cost us a lot of money and it’s almost a month and half of our overdue loan but yet we can’t pay them back. They access my contact and text them all about my loan and they shame us. Theres this one time we answered their call and one of their staff is very arrogant, rude and disrespectful so my mom got irritate because at that time she is in clinic and my mom ended that call and that staff called another person on my contact she said that my mom has attitude. And they keep texting us they said that our accounts is now on Romualdez Legal office they even texted us from the bible verse PSALM 112:5. Today they texted us to pay now before 2pm or else they gonna put my mom image and name into our barangay. Please if you can check their legality to operate, we think that they are not registered into SEC, and they violate Data privacy act.
We are to glad to hear back from you
Have a blessed day.
Hi atty. What they can legally do for us ? They texted us that they can get one of our property as our payment for them. What our counterpart/rights for them ? We can’t pay them back now because my mom much need the money for her medication. And they even said that we will pay for visitation fee and attorney’s fee and they will send my information even my id that i sent to them into my contacts list.
We’re pleased to have feedback on you atty.
Godbless !
For updates today they texted us that our account is now at Saulog and Nelson law firm And they said that they will proceed to WRIT OF EXECUTION GARNISMENT OF PROPERTY once they visit us they will get one of our property as our payments for them and we will shoulder the Attorney’s fee and legal fee that will cost 30,000. And they will send my ID, name to my contacts. Is this legal ? And what are our counter affidavit ?
Hello Atty.
March 4, 2019, Monday, kababalik ko lang from vacation then nag 1 on 1 meeting kame ng aking Manager. Sinabi nya sakin that the management wants me out of the company. Ang reason nya is about the issue sa isa sa aking mga accounts that happened July-August 2018 pero iba pa ang Manager ko nun. Wala sya maibigay na documentation or email conversation that the management wants me out, ang lagi nyang sinasabi its confidential.
Tuesday-Wednesday, nag leave sya para daw pag-isipan ko narin.
Thursday, Nag-meet kame uli at pinagawa nya ako ng resignation letter at sabi nya is aware ang HR about the issue. Sabi ko kausapin ko muna ang HR pero ayaw nya, kelangan ko na daw pirmahan ang resignation letter. Binigyan nya ako ng 60 days para daw makapaghanap ako ng bagong trabaho. A week after, hindi na nya ako pinagreport. Sinasabi nya na sa aming dalawa lang ang nangyari at walang ibang makakaalam.
May 31, on my exit interview with HR, dun ko nalaman na hindi alam ng HR ang nangyari.
Ano po ang dapat kong gawin? Maraming salamat po.

Good day, Attorney. Gusto ko lang pong iclarify if liquor ban is still effective until this day by the COMELEC? Kasi yung father po ng girlfriend ko was arrested last night dahil sa “drinking in public”, first offense po dapat ang pataw po ay 1000 fine or 3 days imprisonment (btw sa Makati po ito). Ang problema po nung nagconsult na po kami sa piskal, umabot po ng 30k ang hinihingi nilang danyos para mapalaya ang father po nya for the reason na effective pa DAW po ang COMELEC ban for liquor (which I know na effective only the before and the day of the Election) alam ko rin po na ang Election Period po January 13 – June 12, 2019 which ang effective ban during that whole period is Gun Ban. Legal po ba ang ginagawa nila?
Good day po attorney

Hi Atty. A friend of mine bought a phone under my name using home credit with my consent, agreeing that he would pay the monthly payments. Now, he says he will not pay the monthly payments or give back the phone. I am now getting collection calls and collection visits due to this. What can I legally do againts my friend or what case can I file? Thank you.
Good day. Hihingi lang po sana ako ng opinion. Yung partner ko po nag resign recently sa work niya. He was an IT sa isang garments factory. Dalawa silang IT dun and yung kasama niya mas senior sa kanya. Now may nangyaring incident. Some skype acct sent screenshots ng private conversation ng isang grupo ng empleyado dun to the HR head. That said skype acct nakapangalan sa partner ko and siya din tinuturo nung kasama niyang IT. After going through everything naconclude namin na yung kasama niyang IT ang gumawa nung issue. Gumawa pa ng new accts gamit name ng anak namin para sa partner ko maikabit yung issue. Nagpainvestigate narin yung company nila and na clear naman yung partner ko of charges pero ayaw parin tumigil nung kasama niyang IT. May partner then resigned from his work kasi ang toxic na. Any legal actions my partner can take po?
