Transfer of Funds

-
Okay, PDuts cut the budget for health.
He enforced a lockdown within MM because his staff anticipated the "finite resources" we have, and the need to centralize them here. Unfortunately, people didn't understand that. They panicked and sought the solace of their families. Now we have many PUMs within a whole archipelago.
Just this month, tertiary hospitals are put under immense strain. They RECOMMENDED isolation centers or COVID-designated hospitals. That takes some time, and a lot of Abad Santoses.
So PDuts allays the public by telling us we have enough funds. These are housed in separate envelopes. Kumbaga sa household- may nakaimpok para sa investment, sa retirement, sa pagkain. Gusto mong magtransfer ng pera mula pagkain papuntang investment. Magpaalam ka kay Misis!
So that's what he does! He requests the transfer of funds from savings in other items allotted for the Executive Branch. Open your Consti to Sec 25(5), Art 6. He requested that special session for Congress to draft the law and transfer those funds. TBF, the bill also included other provisions apart from the transfer of funds, pero we're getting side-tracked. If Chel Diokno reviewed the case of Sanchez vs COA, then he wouldn't have to wonder why that law was necessary.
It's good to rant. But discussions matter too. Care is INDIVIDUALIZED. We're all coping in our own way- every country is. And we WILL get through this...pero as one or by political factions, that's up to you.

What Your 'Atorni'-Friend Wants to Tell You, But Can't

 Why do I dislike giving free legal advice? The moment I give someone legal advice about a specific problem, they become a client. So what? The moment you become a client, I am bound by lawyer-client confidentiality. That means that I will have to keep any information you impart privy between us (with some exceptions). Isn't that a good thing? For you, it might be. And I'm not acting out of my own selfish interest, but by giving you  advice, I am basically sworn to keep private any crime you admit to having committed, at the expense of the greater public.  We take it upon ourselves to prioritize our clients' interests over our own, but that does not mean that we should give free legal advice to those who are capable of paying for our services.  Also, imagine taking on a client without getting properly compensated for the time and research you have undertaken. When you pay lawyers, you are basically paying for the years we have invested into rote memorization an...

What Does Buying a Mid-Range Phone Have to do with Offering Legal Services?

-
I'M A CHEAPSKATE . It has its benefits. Saving money comes naturally to me. The cheapskate in me would easily brand my recent purchase as a splurge .  It was a mid-range phone without any freebies, and it did not come with a postpaid plan.  It would have been smarter to choose among the phones offered by telecommunication companies that came with a postpaid plan. I'm still subscribed to one, mind you.  But I felt like it was time to buy a phone with a decent camera.  Was it a wise investment? Definitely.  A s a lawyer,   I need to collect pieces of evidence, such as pictures of people or bodies, documents, and even places where incidents were claimed to have happened.  I need to be able to have witnesses identify these pieces of evidence, and present them before a judge.  Both would heavily rely on the vividness of colors (which are important when you're presenting bruises on a body), or the clarity of text (on documents, the genuineness thereo...

If You Want To Travel, Remember To Do This

By travel, I don't mean a lone journey to a foreign location. By travel, I mean  a snorkeling/free-diving/swimming/sun-bathing session in at least 10 beaches,  or even a-couple-of-days-in-between-travel to Ilocos-Vigan-Pagudpud,  Batangas   and  the Hundred Islands-Bolinao-Patar.  You would need an iron bladder for a 8–12-hour ride to  the destinations alone. I told myself I would travel   once every month , but the Scorpio in me decided to travel to as many places in  one month! Here are a few things I learned about traveling: 1. Travelling light isn't always a good thing. I applauded myself for traveling with only one bag to Batangas for freediving lessons.  But I almost ran out of clothing for the multi-city( or municipality, I'm not sure) visit to the Hundred Islands. It wasn't a fun thought reusing salt-dried clothing on the way home. And to be realistic, you won't be able to fit all your items in one bag if you're one to freedive. ...
