HELP! Sobrang lala ng nangyari sa Grab ko di ko na matanggal ang amoy na iniwan ng passenger ko

problem/goal: paano ba maayos na tinatanggal yung ganitong heavy smell and stains sa car seat? and paano ko siya sisingilin kung ayaw mag bayad and magkano ba dapat?

i’m a grab driver and may nangyari sakin around 3am na hindi ko alam paano ihandle.

i picked up 2 passengers (guy and girl) from yes please. magkasama sila and the trip had two dropoffs una yung girl, then yung guy.

nag laplapan pa sila sa ride so i just minded my own business habang nagddrive.

during the ride napapansin ko na hindi na okay yung condition ng guy parang struggling na siya habang nasa back seat.

after namin madrop off yung girl, nakatulog siya agad. a few minutes nag amoy tae kala ko umutot lang siya tapos medyo nag amoy mapanghe na din pag tingin ko sa likod umihi and tae pala siya. so i opened lahat ng windows kasi grabe ang baho the whole ride gusto ko na sumuka. kumuha din ako ng pictures for documentation kasi hindi ko alam gagawin ko at sobrang baho.

pagdating sa dropoff niya, ilang beses ko siyang ginising pero hirap talaga siya magising.

pagdating sa bahay niya, tinulungan ko pa siyang bumaba kasi halos hindi siya makagalaw. yung yaya nila yung lumabas, then after ko kinwento yung nangyari binigay niya number ng boss/passenger and sinabi na maguusap na lang daw the next day.

pero ngayon hindi ko na magamit yung kotse ko dahil sobrang sama ng amoy at hindi ko alam paano maalis kahit nililinis ko na. nagmessage ako tungkol sa cleaning pero ayaw niya magbayad di daw niya kasalanan yun kasi drunk daw siya and law student daw siya alam niya yung batas.

update (4:35pm 5/9/25): pumunta ako sa place ni ma’am at sinabi ko sa kanya yung situation. pinakita ko rin yung pictures at yung reddit post ko, at tumawa siya. nahiya siya para sa guy at sinabi na tutulungan niya ako. siya na rin daw ang magbabayad ng deep cleaning at assured niya ako na makakakuha rin ako ng compensation sa abala. papunta na kami ngayon sa place ng guy kasama ko si ma’am.

update 5:03pm (5/9/25): guys, anak pala si sir ng politician. ang ganda ng bahay nila nagbigay pa sila ng ben & jerry. sosyal, may elevator, pool at koi pond pa sa bahay. dito pala napupunta tax natin. how much ba dapat ask ko for compensation?

update: (6:37PM 5/9/25) umuwi muna ako guys. pinapasign ako ng NDA at pinapadelete yung pictures and videos hahaha tapos 4k lang gusto nila ibigay so di muna ako pumirma. sabi ni ma’am pwede daw ako humingi ng way more kasi nilolowball daw ako. 6k nga pala yung deep cleaning hahahaha

napressure din ako kasi pagdating ko may lawyer pa at mga bodyguard sila. medyo nakakaoffend lang honestly kala mo nanakawan ko sila eh sila nga yung nagnanakaw

if may lawyers here pls help kasi di ko alam ano dapat kong gawin.

FINAL UPDATE: papaaralin nila yung mga kapatid ko so medyo okay na rin somehow, among other things hehe. thank you sa lahat ng advice and support! and thank you rin sa lahat ng taxpayers hahaha. vote wisely :)

don’t worry guys, lahat ay maayos na nadocument at may kopya ang both sides, kaya settled at done deal na talaga yung arrangement. malinaw na lahat at officially resolved na ito. and yes nag sign ako ng NDA yun yung kapalit hahaha.

may redditor na lawyer na tumulong sakin ayaw niya mag pamention hehe. thank you atty!

FINAL NA TALAGA UPDATE: sabi ni atty (redditor na lawyer) na better if delete ko na yung account ko para sa safety sana di madelete yung post mismo. thank you ulit sa mga tumulong! delete ko nalang account ko within the day (5/10/26)

Real Talk ng Abogado

I am glad that more and more people here are realizing that entering law school and being a lawyer is not the money-making venture it once was. If you are earning 70-100k per month as a newbie in the workforce, just stay there and climb the ladder. Hindi na masaya rito.

Pero kung altruism naman ang motivation mo, pwede na, although you will find out quickly that even if you render pro bono services, the people you help could be ingrates.

Lastly, nobody protects lawyers. Kahit sa traffic enforcer baka di na rin umobra lisensya mo. Eh nandyan naman IBP at Supreme Court diba? Di ka sure.

Here’s the harsh reality, yung IBP pagkakaperahan ka lang (di ko pa rin matanggap kung paano nila nasikmura ang doble increase sa membership fee). What about the SC? Asa ka pa, sila pa mismo pasimuno ng involuntary servitude. ULAS malala.

Real talkan lang. Oo, may mga yumayaman. Pero mas maraming abogado ang kayod marino pa rin just to have a comfortable life.

Bar Passer Salary? Worth it?

Hi, currently a regular employee working in IT industry earning 90K+/mo. Honestly, I'm thinking to go to law school for hopes of earning more in a long run after I passed the bar.

Question is: Are there opportunities after passing the bar that will give me 6-digit salary like 200K+ above? I can earn that figure if I stay in IT for coming years but I want more sana. I'm torn if it will be worth it to got to law school and leave my job missing millions for 4 years. Hope you here ur insights. Encourage or discourage me feel free to share ur own stories. Thank you.

Your thoughts on this? Na-judge na agad.

Bar taker din siya, pero hinahatulan na kapwa bar taker na d papasa dahil lang sa grammar.

I know malakas maka-irk sa examiner bad grammar; but it’s not a deciding factor to pass or fail the Bar.

I may not see what you may see, so opinions are welcome.

Asus Tuf A15 for law school?

Hello guys, i know that this laptop is probably overkill for law school, pero take note I'll be using this for the next 4 to 6 years throughout my stay in law school, and this is probably going to be the laptop i will use in the bar exam as well, so I'd like your thoughts kung ok na ba ito?

Pls dont bother telling me kumuha ako ng desktop pc, law school exams are online and onsite, so required ako magka laptop talaga.

Extra bonus nalang kung law school student ka. Thank you guys so much

Failed 3 major subjects. Feeling like a failure and considering quitting. Help.

Crim 1, PFR, and Consti 2. Those 3 subjects are the ones I got a 5 so far during my first year. Tatlo agad na 5.00.

I’m a 1L (di ko na sure kung magiging 2L) and honestly, I feel so defeated. Alam ko namang mahirap ang law school, pero hindi ko inexpect na ganito kasakit yung reality check.

I feel so stupid seeing my blockmates pass while I’m here wondering if I'm even meant for this. Baka pinipilit ko lang yung sarili ko sa pangarap na hindi naman para sa akin.

Should I still continue? May pag-asa pa ba bumawi or am I just wasting money and time?

To those who failed law school subjects before but are now lawyers, paano niyo hinarap toh?

Baristas lumalabas labas ba kayo?

Curious lang ako kung nagpupunta pa din ba kayo ng grocery o lumalabas para mag walking jogging etc.

Ako pa din kasi ang madalas mag grocery so kailangan ko lumabas labas ng twice a week lang naman. Gusto ko din sana mag walking kada hapon kasi parang nalulunod ako sa bahay pero at the same time nasasayangan ako sa oras kasi patapos palang ako ng Rem.

Pinag iisipan ko kung papakiusapan ko muna magulang ko na di na muna ako mag labas labas ak siguro dito na din lang ako sa kwarto magzuzumba kahit di na mag walking haha.

Review sched ko is 5:30 AM - 10:30 PM. With loads of break in between (ligo, luto ng food, etc etc) 1

We have this one online class, and there are times na you’ll get bad recits (and we all get that naman siguro. Like, hello—you’re in law school; every mistake sa recit you make is a lesson). One of my blockmate did butchered a recit that day. Kaso itong isang blockmate namin recorded the whole thing and made some edits sa original clip to make it look “funnier.” Tapos kinalat ba naman sa ibang blocks like it’s a joke.

Sobrang bad faith, parang hindi man lang kahit once nagkaroon ng bad day. We discussed this as a block, with him, pero the way he acted, parang mali pa kami na we called him out. Nasa college pa kayo na historically seen as for the masa—will you also do this to your client in the future?

Ang bad vibe tuloy ng block, smh. Any similar experience and how did you handle it as a block (for context, freshman kami ng block ko)?

Solo Practitioner

Amyzing Lawyer here. Hello mga sibs. Meron na bang nag setup ng law office sa inyo? If oo nag register pa ba kayo sa DTI? Sabi kasi sakin mag DTI lang pag mag register ng bussiness name. If law office at notary public lang ang signage ko at atty. plus my name lang sa receipt di na kaya need ng DTI? Naguguluhan ako. 😅

Pa rant lang! Yung una ok lang eh maliit na ambagan to save ourselves from recits, kaso ang masaklap na konting kibot lahat ng event maski CINCO DE MAYO na hindi naman natin cinecelebrate dito eh kelangan pa bigyan ng gift yung prof na pagka mahal mahal na alak.

Pwede ba kung sino na lang sa class na gusto mag ceasefire sya na lang magbigay ng gift tapos umabsent na lang sya kung ayaw talaga nya mag class and recit. Umay eh. Di naman lahat maraming pera at may trabaho. Laki laki ng ambagan.

Are there similar cases in your colleges wherein a person got in using his/her connection? For one, I don’t think this specific “Frat” have that kind of power considering na anti-frat current admin ng UP Law. Strict si GDV this year hence the need for an interview stage for all applicants. Of course I’m not saying that it’s not possible but you need to be HIGHLY CONNECTED in the first place, and you joining the “Frat” for the sake of getting inside law school isn’t really telling that you have one. Besides, you’re doing UP dirty by subscribing to this offer. Ang baba naman ng moralidad mo na you’ll play unfairly when others who are coveting the same thing are putting their best effort.

Any similar experience? Or may kilala ba kayo na nakapasok using their “connection”? What happened to them?

TLDR: A greek org in UP promising a slot to applicants if they join and become a Brod lolz
