If you did not brief witness about her demeanor during trial, that she should not look at you for help, that means a failure in preparation. Witnesses should be properly guided during preliminary briefing. Otherwise, they will veer off and they’re suddenly in trouble.
'KINDLY AVOID THAT. JUST LOOK AT THE DOCUMENTS BEING SHOWN TO YOU'
PANOORIN: Pinagsabihan ni presiding officer Chiz Escudero si Davao City accountant Vingelin Bajan na iwasang tumingin sa mga Defense counsel at tingnan lamang ang mga dokumentong ipinapakita sa kaniya.
Ito ay matapos muling ireklamo ni House private prosecutor Mae Divinagracia ang paulit-ulit na pagtingin ni Bajan sa mga miyembro ng Defense team. #VPOnTrial

Closed this class by telling students that while Conflicts may not change lives like Envi Law, Conflicts may yet improve rule of law in our country. That a certain and uniform approach in dealing with certain conventions will make life simpler and stable for everybody. #LovePRIL
Conflicts 101. The general rule in determining the nationality of a corporation is control test. If there is doubt, use grandfather rule and look at the layers.
Whoever thought that students would be studying this stuff in Conflicts one day?
PRIL is the complete package.

My Conflicts class at FEU Law. If you have not heard about depecage, ask them. Or why Pope Leo can still vote in US elections.
They will not disappoint for they were trained by me. 👏
When a client calls for a meeting at an expensive fine dining restaurant, I go out of my comfort zone and order food unfamiliar with me. I might like it, &that’s one benefit of being a lawyer. Too often, we only order those familiar to us,but it’s always good to go out of the box
For those who never understood the meaning of whitewash, this is it 👇
GOBYERNONG WALANG PUSO! paano nalulunok ng LGU PASAY ang magpa-temporary closed ng mga small businesses para sa ASEAN meeting???!!! Oct 29 inorder na magsara ang Diwata Pares at iba pang katabi nito, kasi raw para sa paghahanda ng ASEAN meeting, pag naka open sila may mga magpa-parking na sasakyan sa labas ???? SANA ALL BALIW!!
Hanggang Nov 18 pa ang end ng ASEAN summit, so 20 days silang walang sahod at di kakain ??? NAKAKAGALIT!!!
And my students cried privacy right when I tried to publicly announce their grades. People don’t simply get the extent of their privacy right.
You just can’t post any private matter for everyone to see.

Custom gone wrong. There was no unwritten rule like this in the early days. Apparently somebody got mad at a player shooting at the end of a won game and it grew from there.
In law, this is called a custom becoming customary law & now they’ve decided to up the ante.
to anyone wondering what happened bakit nagkagulo:
nagdunk pa si bayla with 2 seconds left in the game nalang. sure win na sila with the amount of time and the lead that they have.
hindi bawal ishoot ang bola kasi yes, may oras pa naman. pero unwritten rule siya na technically, tapos na ang game & panalo naman na sila and shooting the ball in the last few seconds is kind of disrespectul na rin sa kalaban. para siya insult in some way nern
again, hindi bawal yung ginawa pero disrespectful siya in a sense. that’s why😄
ps: di lang to sa uaap ha, baka sabihin gawa gawa pa kami as an excuse sa talo hahaha

From motion to pre trial to authentication and offer of evidence, my CLEP students had them all today. Gave everybody the chance to speak and to argue. And to imagine themselves as the great lawyer in a classic novel.
What a day to enjoy! CLEP CLEP hooray
One of the most exciting activities in law school is the moot court. Not many do it these days as the focus is the bar exam.
But look at how students love acting like lawyers. Impromptu, with no prior prep, just an instant activity.
They all survived the test. 85!
There is this holiday vibe for the ASEAN Summit. Everybody preparing for a long vacation, probably longer than Christmas. My students are already requesting online classes for the period prior to Nov 16. And gas prices are falling so much to look forward to.

“Sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them.”
Best example: the Republicans lost the midterm polls by a wide margin.
This is the essence of democracy. It is a beautiful system whichever way you look at it.

Bakit ang babagal na ng mga provincial buses? I noticed this during the Undas break. Also, while riding a bus to the Ilocos months ago.
Finally, they’re learning a lesson that overspeeding could impact not only their families but the livelihood of fellow drivers as well.

My enviro law students would tell you this is AREA-BASED management. Very basic in environmental law and pollution control.

I often talk about the sanctity of marriage. This is one instance when the parties are better off not getting married at all. Obviously, the importance is lost on the parties here.
But ever wonder why the law gives them preferential treatment on so many accommodations? What’s the reason why the law set up express lanes for them?
I am not yet senior, but I know many are hard of hearing, their vision are poor, and they’re not athletic as the young ones.
'HINDI PAGIGING EXCUSE ANG SENIOR SA KAWALAN NG MANNERS'
Veteran actress Rita Avila made this point after recounting how she confronted a senior citizen for loudly talking on a mobile phone inside a movie theater.
