Hello po sa mga nag parecognize ng foreign divorce po magkano po ang fee and ilang months or years bago siya maapproved? Any suggestions po or recommendation feel free to message me po. May divorce decree na po ako
Hello po
Recently naka receive kami ng subpoena na nakapangalan sa lola ko na 17 years ng wala.
Nung pumunta ako sa RTC branch, sabi magdala lang daw ako ng death cert sa araw ng hearing. Pero sabi ng nanay ko at mga kapatid nya wag na daw, pwede na daw balewalain yan since matagal ng wala yung nanay nila.
Ako naman gusto ko gawin para matapos na rin at para di na rin maka tanggap pa ng subpoena.
Soooo, sino ba ang dapat masunod dito hahahahaha
Hi, I need a reality check for my cousin because his logic makes absolutely no sense to me.
He got married under Christian rites just last Nov 2025. Last month, he broke up with his wife because he’s seeing someone else, and now he is dying to get a quick divorce so he can be with the new girl.
Since actual annulment takes years and and a ton of money, he is proudly claiming he found a shortcut where someone can get him a "Shari'ah divorce" in 6 months for less than ₱200k. When I pointed out the obvious that Shari'ah law is strictly for Muslims he literally told me, "No need to convert to Islam, you just need to pay." He even claims he knows someone who did it.
For context, both he and his wife are born-and-raised Christians. He has zero ties to Islam.
Is there actually any universe where a Shari'ah court handles a Christian marriage just because money changed hands? Or is he just falling for a massive fixer scam / TikTok myth because he wants an easy way out?
Thank you!!
Hi, muntik nang mamatay yung nanay ko. nasikmuraan, sinuntok, tinakpan ang bibig at nawalan ng malay sa ginawa nung kinakasama nyang lalake.
Nung dumating ang tito ko, binugbog nila. Dinala nila sa barangay at police station kaso nung kinausap na womens desk kasama nanay ko at ex nya sinabe na kung itutuloy yung kaso na isasampa ni mama, magkakaso din daw sya sa mga tito ko na nambugbog sa kanya. Ang ending naging barangay protection order. Nararamdaman po namin na gusto nalang matapos ng mga police at womens desk rep yung nangyayari kanina. Pinagdedesisyon kami agad at dinidiin.
Please tulungan niyo po ako, liable po ba mga tito ko sa pambubugbog dahil sa ginawa sa nanay ko?
May way po ba na yung ex lang makulong kase ilang beses na syang nananakit.
pahelp po
EDIT: Sinabihan po kami na pag tinuloy po ang kaso, makukulong din daw po mga tito ko dahil sa pambubugbog.
Hello. My daughter is still being bullied, the bullying got worst when she was in grade 5 .
Context:
My daughter plays volleyball since she is in the volleyball club and they mostly train so she would smell “pawis” which is normal for people playing naman. She was getting bullied by a guy classmate calling her stinky even spraying the dysinfectsnt spray for the classroom on her. She started experiencing depression that time , she didn’t want to go to school anymore and even started crying in her sleep. Since it was almost the end of the school year we couldn’t do anything and just texted the teacher but they couldn’t do anything too, since it was almost the end of the school year .
Grade 6:
We asked the school to separate her from her bullies so she wouldn’t fall further into depression, everything started ok at first then a new set of bullies started. She still plays volley ball even at lunch so she would sweat and at that time it was the only thing helping her cope up with her daily life so we didn’t want to stop her from playing .
(First bullying incident in grade 6) there was this girl (honor student ) she told her 2 friends 1 male and 1 female to spread rumours that my daughter has a virus and that was why she was absent and asked them to spread it to the entire class , when my daughter entered the classroom no one wanted to go near her and one of her friend told her what the others said . She couldn’t control it anymore and cried for the first time and told the teacher about it .
Teacher investigated and found out that it was the girl who made that false rumour and asked the others to spread it but the teacher just told them to “hug it out” didn’t reprimand them further since they are “honor students “ the girl continued to bully her and call her “suka” she fell into depression further but we didn’t notice it cause she was always smiling and jolly . I wouldn’t have known this was happening if I didn’t check her tablet and saw her daily inputs from school na she was bullied na pala, she just always tried to act brave and happy even though I told her to open up to me and I will do my best to do something about it. She always writes na she didn’t want to make us worried. One night she was sleep talking and crying in her sleep “I’m so sad , I’m so sad . I don’t want to go back there anymore “ I was so frustrated. The school wasn’t doing anything since the bullies were honor students and they were graduating already and since it wasn’t “grave bullying “ she did her best to finish , even her teacher was starting to bully her na since Hindi daw sha magaling sa filipino, her grade in filipino would always stay line of 7 pero ung AP nya 88 pano nangyari un? We got scared na if we complained about the teacher baka Di nila oag graduatin ung bata at mas oag initan lang eh konti nalang tapos na , she started to be anxious na so I told my mom “is it worth it pa ba? Wag na Di ko na kaya “ but my daughter didn’t want to stop she wanted to graduate . I just stopped kase nga Kawawa naman din hng mga bata kahit papano pinag hirapan padin nila grades nila. I was thinking na maybe they would mature when they reach grade 7 or maybe they are going to attend another school , I was even thinking maybe they are so pressured to keep up with being an honor student that’s why they acted that way.
Grade 7:
School just started , she was in the same class as her bully in grade 6 the honour student bullies .
First day of school I already noticed that girl was staring at her badly “up and down” kahit na tiningnan ko na sha nothing happened and she just rolled her eyes at me . My daughter made a new friend from a different school, she was really happy na she made a new friend, after a few days her new friend stopped going with her and joined her bully . So I realised ah it’s starting na “isolation” but ofcourse what can I do ? Nothing , I told my daughter that we couldn’t do anything because friends are not property , we cant decide eho they wanted to talk to or be friends to.
I picked up my daughter from school , usually my mom picks her up so her old classmates dosent really know me . Anyways 2 honor students (friends of the bully ) started talking about my daughter .
Convo :
Girl 1: omg I saw her (rolls eyes)
Girl 2: who?
Girl 1: (my daughters name )
Girl 2: finds her and rolls her eyes, ang dali nya mahanap. (Rolls eyes) bulungan with other girl while laughing
I really wanted to talk to them, but I didn’t since I know they are minors and there are proper channels for this. I wanted to record it but I know about the data privacy act and knowing that they are minors it might back fire on us instead .
I talked to the PSA and reported it I told them to please observe the situation , since I didn’t want to make it a big deal since school just started not even a month in .
A few days later the bullies group tried to go near my daughter’s new friends again . But since my daughter’s friends were grade 8 students they didn’t really care about the bullies group. Now they started a class GC my daughter dosent ipen it since “walng teacher “ she didn’t want to have a problem in class oag nahuli na maybe they would gc at active sha dun , now she was tagged in the gc by her new classmate saying ang nonchalant daw nya,
Convo :
Male classamge : ( daughter’s name) ang nonchalant mo naman
Friend of bully : wag yan
Male classmate: bakit ?
Friend of bully : kase I think , chinecheck daw ng nanay mya idk
Male cm:ako din naman
Friend of bully : kaya nag leleave sha sa mga GC
Male cm : I’m lucky my mom dosent leave my gc ‘s . W my mom
Friend of bully : malala na kase ang dabakafs ( don’t know what that means )
Anyways . I never open her GC she shows it to me , I don’t read her messages in messenger whatsoever so those were definitely not true. Do they Need to talk about that in the GC tho? They are just making my daughter look bad na parang snitch un dating nung bata na lalo sha lalayuan nung mfa classmates.
I know it’s not severe but I’m really tired , if I’m tired my daughter is probably more tired . I want to know if I can do anything legally ? does it count for unjust vexation ? Thank you so much and sorry for the long post .
I only tried to block his punches to de-escalate. Now my left cheekbone is swollen. Can I file a case against this guy? Counted ba siya as battery? I don't have video evidence since cctv isn't working
One side is very big on rehabilitation and intervention and exemption from criminal liability for minors.
The other side calls out for criminal liability and punishment.
But can we make a compromise and agree that: ok, let's exempt mass murdering minors from criminal liability and they should go to rehabilitation, but for the love of God can we have a long-term incarceration that guarantees the safety of the community? For something as heinous as school shootout, 40 years incarceration should be reasonable.
It's not a punishment. It's "rehabilitation" but done behind secured facilities.
If your solution to 14yr old mass murderers is just "guidance counseling," then you hate the community and you should check your common sense.
What to do if yung mga pusa namin always pinapatay ng mga aso ng kapitbahay namin, mga big dogs na may breed. For context, my mom loves cats kaya marami kaming pusa, puspin man or may breed. We let them out kasi they get bored inside the house and they can go wherever in the neighborhood and come back when they have to. They know how to get home and deal with the outside world. They are all spayed and neutered. Pero itong dogs ng neighbor have killed the 4th victim, lahat female cats. Yung wall kasi pagitan namin is not too tall and our female cats siguro less or duller ang sense of danger nila. They walk sa wall and these big dogs inaabangan sila and kinukuha to attack. The neighbor claims na yung cats ay nakadapo mismo sa ground nila that’s why na-a-attack sila. But cats are smart, knowing na marami silang dogs that they know are dangerous because we constantly hear them barking, why would they go down? Anyway, what course of action should we take? Nakakaawa ang mga pusa namin 😭 May once na napansin namin na inattack nila yung cat namin because iyak ng iyak ang pusa around 3AM ata yun, we couldn’t go sa kanila because ang lalaki ng mga aso nila. We could only yell sa owner pero di naman lumabas hanggang sa namatay yung pusa.
Hi everyone, I need some urgent advice and perspectives on my current renting situation here in the Philippines.
Monthly Rent: ₱130,000 every two months (average to 65k a month
Security Deposit: ₱130,000 (2 months security deposit currently held by the landlord)
The Issue: Our rent due date was exactly only 1 week ago.
Our Timeline: We have explicitly communicated to the landlord that we can pay the full amount in 3 to 5 days (making it a total of 10-12 days late).
The landlord is refusing to give us those 3-5 days. They are sending us strict verbal and text threats stating that if we do not pay right now, they will find a new tenant who is willing to pay a higher price, and that we must move out immediately.
They are also hinting at keeping our ₱130,000 security deposit if we are forced out.
Also, they never gave us a copy of our signed lease contract.
Because of this, we can't even check what the fine print says. This happened just today, and their office is already closed, so we cannot go there to check our contract right now.
My Questions for the Community:
I would love to hear from anyone who has dealt with a similar situation, or anyone with a background in local leasing laws.
Thank you!
PS. Not a male, I’m a Filipina
They are still in the proposal stage, but all of those proposals are going to take some if not all of our land.
Are there ways to maximize their potential valuation?
Please just lead me the way on how to research this, I just want to help my parents not lose out much from this debacle. Thank you.
My friend's son and his mom were in an accident because of the dog. His mom was using only a nutshell helmet. The driver is licensed and has updated papers and the motorcycle is also a motorcycle. They have bruises and scratches but his mom, because she is a senior, got bruised, her eyebrows were cut because of the frame of her glasses and she also has a broken bone in her arms and needs surgery (they said they would put steel in which costs 30k for steel alone). A report was submitted and all, my friend was ready to spend half and half and talk to the owner of the dog at first but they back out of their words (maybe because at first they didn't know how much was damaged). They told my friend and they don't want to pay and now, my friend doesn't want to settle either. She is currently working on filing a case because they were told "you should file, we won't pay, we'll go to any precinct". I wanted to backout just because it was stressful and expensive but she was really hurt by how she was treated so I took care of it. I wanted to check, will she really win if ever? Dog died. Cooperative at first but that's it, when they found out they needed an operation they backed out.
Edit: I think my post has been translated to English. It changed after publishing. I hope it is still understandable.
Hi everyone. I'd like to ask about how Philippine labor laws generally apply in situations involving remote workers hired through foreign agencies.
For context, I work remotely for a client through an agency that serves as the intermediary. The agency handles my employment and payroll, while I perform the actual work for the client.
From what I understand, the agency does not appear to be registered in the Philippines. We also do not receive government-mandated benefits such as SSS, PhilHealth, or Pag-IBIG contributions, and taxes are not withheld. The arrangement initially started as freelance work but later became full-time. I'm also a fresh graduate and have not yet registered as self-employed or begun filing my own taxes.
One aspect of the employment contract caught my attention. It essentially states that the company may terminate an employee at any time and for any reason, similar to how an employee may resign at any time. I'm intentionally paraphrasing rather than quoting it directly.
I've also heard of instances where workers under the same agency were reportedly informed during a phone or video call that they were being terminated effective immediately, without any written notice, explanation, or documented process. There have also been claims that deductions were made from final pay for alleged "damages," but without any clear breakdown or supporting documentation.
With that context, I'm interested in understanding the legal principles for my specific situation.
I'm interested in hearing how these situations are generally treated under Philippine law. Thanks in advance
If a private call discussing workplace matters is unintentionally joined by an unauthorized third person and the conversation is heard without the knowledge of one participant, what legal or workplace issues could be arise? Would this primarily be a matter of company policy, confidentiality or could thre DPA also be relevant?
Ayun po, base po sa title, ayaw nya pong ibigay yung payment ko for 2 days na pagiging math tutor sa anak nya dahil sya daw mismo mag tetest kung may natutunan daw po yung anak nya. pinost ko po to sa isang rant page at payo nila na ipabaranggay pero sabi sakin itry ko daw po munang kausapin. yung 2 days kasi po na yun ay kasama na yung pamasahe ko papunta sknila. pero as of 6pm hindi pa din po sya nag rereply. halagang 2,000 po yung dapat na payment plus po yung pamasahe. student lang din po kasi ako. wala pong written agreement puro chats and verbal lang po.
May nabasa ako post sa kabilang sub reddit, na remove feeling ko baka INC yun moderators eh
As per OP, humingi ng pera yun kapitbahay nila kasi nun nagpakabit ng kuryente sila aksidente naputulan sila ng ilaw pero nabalik naman kaagad within the day, mga oras ang tinagal.
Reason ng kapitbahay, bigyan sila ng pera sa perwisyo kasi kung dadahil nila sa korte sigurado mamanalo sila kasi INC sila at may mga abogado pa.
Parang sobra naman sa mindset, pero kung sakali si OP may laban sya at pwede pa sya magdagdag o kontra demanda sa kapitbahay?
Update: Story was posted in other sub reddit, OP also tried to post to other relevant subreddit but was blocked or removed by moderators.

Need legal advice. Can you legally sell a land without the signatures of all your siblings? Land is already divided between them but the title is still named after my grandparents.
Context:
My aunt (who already passed away) pawned her land to a relative years ago, (this relative was also her neighbor and convinced her into selling her the land). But the problem here was they only made a written agreement as proof of purchase and the signatories were only my aunt (who owned the land) and their youngest brother - 6 po sila na magkakapatid. My father brought this case to our baranggay but our brgy captain kind of honored the agreement that was allegedly signed by my aunt. This is really messy because according to my aunt before she died she only pawned/sinangla the land to this relative and during their meeting sa baranggay po di nya pinapakita ang papel na signed agreement nila. My Father holds the land title of this said land and last week when he went to our local bir to pay our taxes including the tax of my aunt’s land the officer told him that the tax is already paid by this relative.
What should we do? My father is already 69yrs old and a rice farmer, would he qualify for PAO services?
I’m really sorry if my post is messy. Thank you in advance.

Tldr: Friend's deceased parent didn't sign her birth certificate, friend only found out years later.
Happened in the late 90s, it's still a problem now.
Friend has his surname and he IS friend's dad, the adults just completely forgot to get his signature. Then apparently, another relative decided to forgo the hassle of getting his signature, and just processed friend's papers using a fake BC throughout her life.
Her school papers and all other official documents bear HIS surname. But she learned wayy after college grad and long past his death that the birth cert her relative used for requirements is not real. Legally, she's supposed to use her mother's maiden surname instead.
She tried fixing the problem as soon as she found out, especially since there are a LOT of things she can't do without a legitimate birth certificate (get a passport, own properties, etc).
Going through lawyers will cost her an estimate of 200k. She tried processing through "someone who knows how to fix these kinds of problems", but even that person couldn't make it work because "there's no strong evidence that he ever claimed her as his child".
Now, the only option we know right now is if she ultimately decides to carry her mother's surname (or get married). She'll have to go to all relevant institutions to recitify the issue, and bring an affidavit proving she's one and the same person.
Hopefully that works, but she's afraid of getting accused of intentionally falsifying documents.
Note: Her relative was the one who processed all enrollment papers (we were minors during our college years). Then govt agencies participated in a job fair at our school where they only required students to fill out application forms, no other documents needed. That's why she's an SSS member despite not having a legitimate birth certificate that matches her name.
Are there any other options for her? And what will happen if she goes through with submitting an affidavit to change her existing info (diploma, bank, SSS, etc)? Will she get penalized for this, despite not being the one who falsified papers?
For context, yung kasambahay namin barely 6 months in and mukhang di babalik. Simula't sa una, grabe mangutang. Papasok pa lang, advance na agad ng 3 months of sweldo, pero sige, since we really need a helper and for good will, binigay. Since then puro siya utang, lahat nalang utang. My dad was working tapos biglang tatawag na super need daw, stressed si papa since nasa malayong province siya para lang for her. Sumunod, uuwi sa kanila tapos pamasahe iuutang samin and then matagal na nandun, eextend pa. Lahat naman binigay namin, di kami nananakit or naninigaw, we cook for her, we do other things for her and do chores with her. Masaklap pa na kaya siya need is bc my dad is working a lot and umaalis plus kaming magkakapatid nag-aaral din sa malayo. It's honestly heartbreaking kasi we genuinely tried showing goodness pero abusado and di marunong maki-tao, nakakapagod and masakit na mag-sinungaling sayo ng ganito.
Anyways, she has at least two months to pay pa pero mukhang di uuwi today, kakausapin daw si papa mamaya. Ang gulo ng buhay niya, I sincerely wish we went for a different person kasi gamit na gamit kami sa pangungutang niya.
Punong-puno ng galit at poot yung puso ko. Hindi ko na alam gagawin ko.
Hi. I’m a v-tim of violation against Republic Act No. 11313, or also known as the Safe Spaces Act. And the perpetrator is a person working at Bacolod Chicken House Express a.k.a C.H.E.
Nasa procedure na ng resolution ang case na isinampa ko sakanya. Pero ang nakakagalit? Yung ginawa niya saking pambabastos ay First Offense lang which has a fine of ₱ 1,000 only and community service of 12 hours.
I’m not his first v-tim. Ako lang ang unang nag reklamo. At mga tao sa paligid ko, they keep on enabling him kasi “galante” at “mapag-bigay”. And one personnel in our barangay even said na “Nakita ko siya, namamalengke ah, mukhang mabait na tao, malumanay yung boses”, “Wag kang magagalit ha, tinanong ko siya, sabi ko, oo maganda ka, maputi, pero wala daw siyang interes sayo.” Like, wow. Then magtataka sila bakit ako umabot ng ilang buwan bago mag reklamo eh alam kong ganito yung kahihinatnatan nito.
And for pete’s sake, senior citizen na siya, pero wala parin pinagkatandaan. At habol ko lang naman talaga na magkaron siya ng kaso under his name eh para mahirapan siya kung sakali mag hanap ng trabaho, pero pano. Eh yung owner nga mismo ng C.H.E ang nag hire ng attorney niya. So, spread the word and help me by not enabling a store that enables a perpetrator.
Marami pang inasalan dyan na masarap. Please. Help me. I don’t know what I’m going to do anymore for him to get what he deserves.
Employee finished conducting his last store visit in Los Banos, Laguna at 4:20PM. He was allowed to go straight home instead of staying at the store until 5PM since the site for the day is pretty far. To compensate him for the time, to consider traffic, he can file for OT when he reaches at the gas station near his home.
On the way home, he rear ended a Mitsubishi Mirage and admitted he was wrong. The car owner asked 5,000 from him for damages. The employee’s motorcycle also has a bit of a scratch. The company sent the employee 5,000 in cash so he can just settle it immediately. Currently the management believes since it happened after the last store, it has no liability but it still willing to pay 3,000 out of the 5,000 as a “help”. They did consider paying the entire 5,000 but was afraid that the employees might become careless in the future since the company will pay for it anyway.
Question:
1. Is the company liable to pay for the damages to the car and the employee’s motorcycle?
