I am asking for advice para matulungan ang pamangkin ko. Very long story pero yung mama niya nagka AFAM few years ago, then yung AFAM bumili ng 3 house and lot. Yung 1 para sa kanila, yung 2 paupahan. Since hindi naman resident si AFAM dito, nakapangalan sya sa mama ng pamangkin ko. May usapan pala ang AFAM at yung nanay niya na yung renta sa isang bahay ay para sa pamangkin ko pero ni piso wala syang nakuha from her mama. And naghiwalay na rin sila ni AFAM bago pa man magpandemic.

Fast forward, binenta ng nanay yung isang property pambayad sa utang sa bank. So bale 2 nalang natira. Nag reach out yung AFAM sa pamangkin ko, gusto niyang ibenta yung isang property. Wala syang hawak na any documents pero may proof lang sya ng lahat ng transactions sa pagpadala ng pera nung binili yun. If ever mabenta, ibibigay nya sana sa pamangkin ko ung kita.

May laban ba si AFAM sa bahay? Si pamangkin ko and nanay nya ay not in good terms din.

Thank you.

Hi everyone can I ask if it's legal na mamutol ang meralco without prior notice of disconnection? And worst nangingikil pa? They're asking money so maeextend ng ilang araw yung kuryente.

For information, our subdivision doesn't have electricity and we rely only in 1 house na commercial naman ang kuryente.

We have 1 unpaid bill, na hindi pa dumadating ang resibo. We already paid the other balance yun nalang.

I wanna ask if legal ba tong ginagawa nila? If oo, anong pwede naming gawin?

I'm a first year law student with a pending application as a paralegal. What should I learn before getting hired? May tips ba kayo

Long story short, may local government official sa Central Luzon na nakakuha ng quarrying permit and has been actively quarrying a family owned land of roughly 35,000 sqm without ever notifying or getting consent from the land owners

The land is co-owned by siblings who inherited it, none of them were approached before quarrying started, no agreement was signed, no compensation beforehand was discussed tapos nalaman na lang nung nasimulan na.

For some context:

• Yung LGU official may connections siya sa provincial capitol
• Around half na nung land yung na quarry and siguro mga 3-3.5 meters deep na
• The official is now offering 30k for settlement na pag hahatian ng mga may-ari
• Majority of the owners are willing to accept kasi they think the land is worthless since its not arable, they dont reallize the quarry material has value
• Unsure if land taxes has been paid consistently partly due to displacement and disruption of Pinatubo
• Only 1 owner is hesitant to accept but is scared of retalliation given the officials connections

Questions:

• Is a quarry permit valid if landowner consent was never obtained?
• Can 1 owner legally block or withhold from a settlement even if all others agree?
• Given the volume extracted, is there a realistic damage claim here?
• Is filing worth it given his local connections?
• Is the person whos at legal risk if theyre the only one who refuses to settle?

Any advice is appreciated. Willing to provide more details basta hindi ganun ka-specific

Few wks ago, I shared in one of the comments how my TL basically forced me to resign kasi I miscarried. Literal na wala pang one hr lumipas, I immediately sent my medcert kasi anxious sila sa attendance.

My sup responded na magresign nalang para di affected attendance. Pinipilit ako magsend kahit via email lang daw, which I did not send kasi biii literal na sobrang sakit ng buong pagkatao ko, plus grieving and all.

2 days after, she casually said "Ipaprocess ko na resignation mo, para matapos na while I am on shift".

So ang ginawa ko, ako na nagsend ng resignation para macontrol ko yung narrative.

I stated the events with timelines, which akala ko kakausapin manlang ako ng HR, pero wala. lol

So ayun, someone from this grp said mag file ako ng SENA for constructive resignation. Which I did.

The personnel caller me today and will be scheduling the session with the company.

May I ask on what to expect and what can I do in caae i-intimidate nila ako?

Aside from screenshots, ano pa dapat kong isecure?

Trigger warning: Mentioned Abuse and drug abuse.

Hello, good day. gusto ko lng sanang magtanong. May chances po ba ma nullify ang marriage due to psychological/mental abuse? My sister (24, currently 5th month pregnant) is planning to file a VAWC complaint towards her husband (25,M)due to psychological abuse kaso ang problem nia is ang hirap e prove, for the context, she recently discovered that her husband was under the influence of drugs (explained his behaviour towards my sis), and nawalan ng trabaho for some reason at ayaw magtrabaho, gusto part-time lng palagi 😭. My sister was always stressed out dahil kaliwat-kanan yung mga debts nila, at sya yung hinahabol. Kinausap na nya to find a decent job since magiging dalawa na anak nila pero nagalit pa daw yung guy. Kung hindi nag break down kapatid ko eh hindi pa namin alam na tuwing nag aaway sila sa kanilang bahay, maliban sa palitan ng masasakit na salita, may time din daw muntikan nya nang masapak yung kapatid ko. Also, may naitago daw syang drug paraphernalias na nkita nya sa bahay nila to prove na nag ddrugs talaga sya. So Please, Help me help my sister to get out of this abusive situation. 😭

Asking for advice po.

So I acquired an SUV (Ford Everest) back in December 2025. Due to the unforeseen rise in oil prices, I'm reconsidering whether I should keep it pa. Don't get me wrong kaya ko naman bayaran yung car even if yung price ng diesel went up to 300/L + monthly amort. But I feel like it's such a waste kasi if this continues, and ang new normal na ng diesel will be 100/L (probably even higher). I feel like I could save more if I let go of the car and replace it with a new EV under a new installment plan. I know if I repossess my car, potentially mahihirapan ako makakuha ulit ng car loan.

Question: If I cut my losses na din and have it repo'd, am I liable to pay some kind of amount for it?

I feel like eto mga options ko...

Option 1: Just continue with the car and just buy a VinFast VF3 as 2nd car (EV)

Option 2: Save up for a year and pay it off agad.

Option 3: Have it repo'd and cut my losses, habang early pa, and get an EV car (byd atto 3 is what I'm eyeing)

Main worry ko lang here is if I need to pay an early termination fee or something, I can't find my contract with the dealership, hence why I wanted to ask here din + get some ideas on how to approach this.

If you're in my situation, what would you do?
