Read every line. Understand every term. Ask questions. Clarify doubts.
Your signature binds you legally. Never rush, never skip the fine print, and never agree to something you haven’t fully grasped. Take the time to know exactly what you are committing to — because once signed, it carries full legal weight.
Under the Civil Code, the law clearly defines who qualifies as a compulsory heir — legitimate children, surviving spouse, illegitimate children, and parents — along with their guaranteed shares. Whether there is a will or not, succession follows established rules: who inherits, in what order, and how claims must be properly filed and proven.
Inheritance does not automatically transfer into your name upon passing. The estate must be settled, debts addressed, and shares legally partitioned. Know your rights as an heir, understand the proper procedure to claim, and ensure everything is documented correctly — because when it comes to family property, the law sets a clear path.
Just because someone finds something does NOT mean it is yours. The Civil Code provides that lost property is always the property of the original owner.
✅ If you know who it belongs to → you need to give it back to them.
✅ If the owner cannot be identified then turn it over to local authorities following due process.
Failure to return or report found property properly could be illegal. The law doesn’t pay to keep what is not yours. Report any items that may be found in an appropriate manner and, if in doubt, contact legal advice to ensure that you are doing the right thing.
If someone promises you guaranteed high returns with absolutely no risk, it is NOT an investment. It is a trap. Legitimate investments always carry some level of risk — higher potential returns naturally come with higher risk. Anyone claiming otherwise is likely running a scam designed to take your money and vanish.
Protect your hard-earned savings. Always verify registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Only invest in transparent, regulated, and SECured opportunities — because if it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is. ✅
Contract is only made if there is free consent. Unless you were forced, threatened, tricked or misled into signing — then your consent was NOT free. The Civil Code of the Philippines provides that contracts may be rescinded or invalidated based on the following grounds of voidability or invalidity: intimidation, violence, fraud, undue influence (under Article 1330). If you are not giving the signature willingly and knowingly, your signature is not a valid signature. There is no real bond that one cannot break without consent.
Many believe that once you marry, you must set aside your maiden name and take on your husband’s surname — but that is simply NOT the law!
Your name is part of who you are — your identity built over years. And the law respects that. You may keep your maiden name fully and permanently, if that is what you wish. You may choose to combine it with your husband’s, or use his surname in whatever way you prefer.
Whatever you decide — the choice is entirely yours. No requirement, no pressure. Your name, your identity, your decision. ⚖️
As of Today, R.A 7581 (Price Act) Remains in FULL EFFECT.
Price gouging, price hoarding and profiteering are prohibited and illegal at all times and particularly during periods of calamity, emergency or public need according to the provisions of Republic Act No.7581. No seller, merchant or supplier shall hike the price of food, water, medicine, and other prime commodities unreasonably including basic necessities of life. An unjustified rise in prices, refusal of supplies to affect market prices and over-pricing amounts are all unlawful and will attract the legal penalties that apply.
Uphold the law. Protect the public. Promote equity and social justice. 🛡️ #RA7581 #LegalAdvisory #PriceActPH
