I think the Phil Congress is trying to come out with a concise divorce law, something that legally acknowledges dissolution of marriage thus allowing re-marriage. At least on the legal side of things. This would be a good start even if the issue ... Read More

A lot of questions needs to be answered. 1. Is this a Japanese or US surplus? 2. If the unit came from a right hand drive country, I would suggest you forget about it even if the conversion seems perfect. If you ever saw the actual right to left ... Read More

In fairness to the law profession in the Phils, there are a lot of good and honest lawyers. It all depends on how you deal with them and the nature of your case. Good lawyers do not need to cheat or steal as they can simply charge you a sizable fee ... Read More
