HABEAS CORPUS


A writ issued by the court directed to a person detaining another, commanding
him to produce the body of the prisoner at designated time and place, with the day and cause of his capture and detention, to do, to submit to, and to receive whatever court or judge awarding writ shall consider in his behalf. It lies only where the restraint of a person’s liberty has been judicially adjudged to be illegal or unlawful.

A petition for habeas corpus will be given due course only if it shows that
petitioner is being detained or restrained of his liberty unlawfully. A restrictive custody and monitoring of movements or whereabouts of police officers under investigation by their superiors is not a form of illegal detention or restraint of liberty. (SP02 Manalo vs. PNP Chief Calderon, G.R. No. 178920, October 15, 2007)

Sec. 15, Article III
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended except in cases of invasion or rebellion when the public safety requires.
(Relate this to Section 18, Article VII)

Writ of Amparo


What is the writ of Amparo?
It is a remedy available to any person whose right to life, liberty, and security has been violated or is threatened with violation by an unlawful act or omission of a public official or employee, or of a private individual or entity. The writ covers extralegal killings and enforced disappearances or threats thereof.

What rule governs petitions for and the issuance of a writ of amparo?
It is governed by The Rule on the Writ of Amparo (A.M. No. 07-9-12-SC - full text), which was approved by the Supreme Court on 25 September 2007. This Rule also governs existing cases involving extralegal killings and enforced disappearances or threats thereof.
What is the Supreme Court’s basis in issuing the Rule?
The Rule was drafted pursuant to the Supreme Court’s constitutional power to promulgate rules for the protection and enforcement of constitutional rights (Constitution, Art. VIII, Sec. 5[5]).
When does the Rule take effect?
The Rule takes effect on 24 October 2007, following its publication in three (3) newspapers of general circulation.
Who may file a petition for the issuance of a writ of amparo?
The petition may be filed by the aggrieved party or by any qualified person or entity in the following order:
(a) Any member of the immediate family, namely: the spouse, children and parents of the aggrieved party;
(b) Any ascendant, descendant or collateral relative of the aggrieved party within the fourth civil degree of consanguinity or affinity, in default of those mentioned in the preceding paragraph; or
(c) Any concerned citizen, organization, association or institution, if there is no known member of the immediate family or relative of the aggrieved party.
The filing of a petition by the aggrieved party suspends the right of all other authorized parties to file similar petitions. Likewise, the filing of the petition by an authorized party on behalf of the aggrieved party suspends the right of all others, observing the order established herein.

Where can the petition be filed?
The petition may be filed on any day and at any time with the Regional Trial Court of the place where the threat, act or omission was committed or any of its elements occurred, or with the Sandiganbayan, the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court, or any justice of such courts. The writ shall be enforceable anywhere in the Philippines.
When issued by a Regional Trial Court or any judge thereof, the writ shall be returnable before such court or judge.
When issued by the Sandiganbayan or the Court of Appeals or any of their justices, it may be returnable before such court or any justice thereof, or to any Regional Trial
Court of the place where the threat, act or omission was committed or any of its elements occurred.
When issued by the Supreme Court or any of its justices, it may be returnable before such Court or any justice thereof, or before the Sandiganbayan or the Court of Appeals or any of their justices, or to any Regional Trial Court of the place where the threat, act or omission was committed or any of its elements occurred.

How much is the docket or filing fees for the petition?
There is NO docket and other lawful fees for the petition. The court, justice or judge shall docket the petition and act upon it immediately.
What are the required contents of the petition?
The petition shall be signed and verified and shall allege the following:
(a) The personal circumstances of the petitioner;
(b) The name and personal circumstances of the respondent responsible for the threat, act or omission, or, if the name is unknown or uncertain, the respondent may be described by an assumed appellation;
(c) The right to life, liberty and security of the aggrieved party violated or threatened with violation by an unlawful act or omission of the respondent, and how such threat or violation is committed with the attendant circumstances detailed in supporting affidavits;
(d) The investigation conducted, if any, specifying the names, personal circumstances, and addresses of the investigating authority or individuals, as well as the manner and conduct of the investigation, together with any report;
(e) The actions and recourses taken by the petitioner to determine the fate or whereabouts of the aggrieved party and the identity of the person responsible for the threat, act or omission; and
(f) The relief prayed for the petition may include a general prayer for other just and equitable reliefs.

When is the writ of amparo issued?
Upon the filing of the petition, the court, justice or judge shall immediately order the issuance of the writ if on its face it ought to issue. The clerk of court shall issue the writ under the seal of the court; or in case of urgent necessity, the justice or the judge may issue the writ under his or her own hand, and may deputize any officer or person to serve it. The writ shall also set the date and time for summary hearing of the petition which shall not be later than seven (7) days from the date of its issuance.

Is there any penalty in case of refusal to issue or serve the writ?
Yes. A clerk of court who refuses to issue the writ after its allowance, or a deputized person who refuses to serve the same, shall be punished by the court, justice or judge for contempt without prejudice to other disciplinary actions.

How is the writ of amparo served?
The writ is served on the respondent by a judicial officer or by a person deputized by the court, justice or judge who shall retain a copy on which to make a return of service. In case the writ cannot be served personally on the respondent, the rules on substituted service shall apply.
After the writ is served, what should the respondent do?
Within seventy-two (72) hours after service of the writ, the respondent shall file a verified written return together with supporting affidavits which shall, among other things, contain the following:
(a) The lawful defenses to show that the respondent did not violate or threaten with violation the right to life, liberty and security of the aggrieved party, through any act or omission;
(b) The steps or actions taken by the respondent to determine the fate or whereabouts of the aggrieved party and the person or persons responsible for the threat, act or omission;
(c) All relevant information in the possession of the respondent pertaining to the threat, act or omission against the aggrieved party; and
(d) If the respondent is a public official or employee, the return shall further state the actions that have been or will still be taken:
(i) to verify the identity of the aggrieved party;(ii) to recover and preserve evidence related to the death or disappearance of the person identified in the petition which may aid in the prosecution of the person or persons responsible;(iii) to identify witnesses and obtain statements from them concerning the death or disappearance;(iv) to determine the cause, manner, location and time of death or disappearance as well as any pattern or practice that may have brought about the death or disappearance;(v) to identify and apprehend the person or persons involved in the death or disappearance; and(vi) to bring the suspected offenders before a competent court.

The return shall also state other matters relevant to the investigation, its resolution and the prosecution of the case. A general denial of the allegations in the petition shall not be allowed. All defenses shall be raised in the return, otherwise, they shall be deemed waived.

HABEAS DATA



The literal translation from Latin of Habeas Data is “[we command] you have the data”. Habeas Data is a constitutional right granted in several countries in Latin-America. It shows variations from country to country, but in general, it is designed to protect, by means of an individual complaint presented to a constitutional court, the image, privacy, honour, information self-determination and freedom of information of a person.
Habeas Data can be brought up by any citizen against any manual or automated data register to find out what information is held about his or her person. That person can request the rectification, actualisation or even the destruction of the personal data held. The legal nature of the individual complaint of Habeas Data is that of voluntary jurisdiction, this means that the person whose privacy is being compromised can be the only one to present it. The Courts do not have any power to initiate the process by themselves.

constitutional right: ALONE... yep :p

Sec. 3, Article III of the 1987 Philippine Constitution.
(1) The privacy of communication and correspondence shall be inviolable except upon lawful order of the court, or when public safety or order requires otherwise as prescribed by law.
(2) Any evidence obtained in violation of this or the preceding section shall be inadmissible for any purpose in any proceeding.

Is there a constitutional right to privacy?
Yes. The essence of privacy is “the right to be left alone”. It is expressly recognized in Section 3(1) of Article III. Other facts of the right to privacy are protected in various provisions of the Bill of Rights, i.e., Sections 1 (right to due process clause), 2 (right against unreasonable searches and seizures), 6 (right to liberty of abode and of changing the same, as well as the right to travel), 8 (freedom of association) and 17 (right against self-incrimination).
(Ople vs. Torres, G.R. No. 127685, July 23, 1988)

ACCORDING TO...
RA 4200 Anti-Wire Tapping Act
It prohibits any person not being authorized by all parties to any private communication or spoken word, to tap any wire or cable, or by using any other device or arrangement to secretly overhear, intercept or record the same, or to communicate the content thereof to any person.

The use of said record may be permitted in the following instances:
1. In civil or criminal proceedings involving certain specified offenses principally
affecting national security; and
2. When authorized by the court which may be issued under the following conditions:
a. The constitutional requirements for the issuance of a warrant should be
complied with; and
b. The authority shall be effective only for sixty (60) days.
Any evidence obtained in violation of this law is not admissible in any proceeding.
not make any distinction. A telephone extension is not among the devices covered by this law. (Gaanan vs. IAC, 145 SCRA 112)

Navarro vs. CA, G.R. No. 121087, August 26, 1999, two local media men in Lucena City went to the police station to report alleged indecent show in one night establishment in the City. At the station, there was a heated argument between police officer Navarro and Lingan, one of the two media men, which led to fisticuffs. Lingan fell and his head hit the pavement which caused his death. During the trial, Jalbuena, the other

RA 4200 clearly and unequivocally makes it illegal for any person, not authorized
by all parties to any private communication, to secretly record such communications by means of a tape recorder. The law does media man, testified. Presented in evidence to confirm his testimony was a voice recording he had made of the heated discussion at the police station between accused police officer Navarro and the deceased, Lingan, which was taken without the knowledge of the two. The SC held that Jalbuena’s testimony is confirmed by the voice recording he had made. It may be asked whether the tape is admissible in view of RA 4200, which prohibits wire tapping. The answer is in the affirmative. The law prohibits the overhearing, intercepting or recording of private communications. Since the exchange between petitioner Navarro and Lingan was not private, its tape recording is not prohibited.

Exempted acts:
A. Use of such record or any copies thereof as evidence in any civil, criminal
investigation or trial of offenses mentioned below: [Secs. 1, par. 2]
B. Any peace officer, who is authorized by the written order of the Court (RTC
within whose territorial jurisdiction the acts for which authority is applied for are to be executed), to execute any of the acts declared to be unlawful in cases involving the
crimes of: [Sec. 3, par. 1]
1. treason
2. espionage
3. provoking war and disloyalty in case of war
4. piracy
5. mutiny in the high seas
6. rebellion
7. conspiracy and proposal to commit rebellion
8. inciting rebellion
9. sedition
10. conspiracy to commit sedition
11. inciting to sedition
12 kidnapping as defined by the RPC
13.violations of CA 616, punishing espionage and other offenses against
national security

The WRITTEN ORDER shall only be issued or granted upon written application
with the examination under oath or affirmation of the applicant and the witnesses he may produce and must show:
a) That there are reasonable grounds to believe that any of the crimes
enumerated herein has been committed or is being committed provided, that in cases involving the offenses of rebellion, conspiracy and proposal to commit rebellion, inciting to rebellion, sedition, conspiracy to commit sedition, such authority shall be granted only upon prior proof that a rebellion or acts of sedition, as the case may be, have actually been or are being committed;
b) That there are reasonable grounds to believe that evidence may be obtained
essential to the conviction of any person for, or to the solution of, or to the prevention of, any of such crimes;
c) That there are no other means readily available for obtaining such evidence.

NOTE...
Any communication or spoken word, or the existence contents, substance,
purport, effect or meaning of the same or any part thereof, or any information therein contained, obtained or secured by any person in violation of this Act shall not be admissible in evidence in any judicial, quasi-judicial, or administrative hearing or investigation.

Exclusionary Rule
Art. III, Sec. 3. xxx
(2) Any evidence obtained in violation of this (privacy of communication and
correspondence) or the preceding section (unreasonable searches and seizures) shall be inadmissible for any purpose in any proceeding.
One of the remedies of one who was victimized by an illegal search is to ask for the suppression of the things seized and the evidence illegally taken.
The exclusionary rule prohibits the use of any evidence obtained in violation of
Sections 2 and 3 (1), Art. III for "any purpose" and in "any proceeding." The evidence is absolutely useless. This has not always been the case.

But Wait….
Human Security Act of 2007
Section 3, Human Security Act of 2007, provides that the authorities may, upon a written order
of the Court of Appeals, listen to, intercept and record, with the use of any mode, form, kind or type of electronic or other surveillance equipment or intercepting and tracking devices, or with the use of any suitable ways and means for that purpose, any communication, message, conversation, discussion, or spoken or written words between members of terrorist group. Provided, That surveillance, interception and recording of communications between lawyers and clients, doctor and patients, journalists and their sources and confidential business correspondence shall not be
authorized.

I was once a victim of their pretensions but the culprits(them) were forgiven by my eagerness to still treat them as my friends though their acts were unforgiveable. whew* they did not respect the 2nd chance i vested to them. grabeh. until now, they cant accept me for what i am. they just tend to look on the other half of the mirror. They dont know how to use HUMANE instincts(sorry for my wording). They judged me,,,,they indeed JUDGED me!

Their contentons: we are not on the same level thats why they no longer desire to deal with....anymore! WTF!!! parang ako pa ung may kasalanan... na mahirap sila, na wala silang kung anu anu para makasabay at hindi sila nakapagtapos!!!

FYI, sila mismo ang nagsabi nyan na kesyo mahirap daw sila, wala silang mga damit, at hindi na nila kaya akong pakiasamahan... actually, hindi lang naman ako ung ginanto nila.Apat ata kami?! Sana lang may mas malaalim pa silang reason kung bakit nagkaganto kasi bullSH*T to eh. amp!!!

wala silang karapatang manisi ng ibang tao sa kakulangan nila sa buhay. i've done my part. i think, i will not do something wrong if i will disregard them from now on. i made the wrong decision making friends with them! cutDfukc*

ANYHOW! masaya yung buhay ko. hindi ko sila kailangan. haha!!!!!

my new PET... dominic

I love my new dog. wooohoho.. he's so malambing. mabango at maCUTE. the decision of my brother to buy this toy dog is perfect! wohoho...

SHIH-TZU

Shih Tzu traditional Chinese: 獅子狗; simplified Chinese: 狮子狗; pinyin: Shīzi Gǒu; Wade-Giles: Shih-tzu Kou; literally "Lion Dog"), is the Chinese name rendered according to the Wade-Giles system of romanization in use when the breed was first introduced in Europe; the Chinese pronunciation is very close to SHIRR-dzi. The name translates as Lion Dog, so named because the dog was bred to resemble "the lion as depicted in traditional oriental art,"such as the Chinese guardian lions. The Shih Tzu is also often known as the "Xi Shi quan" (西施犬), based on the name of Xi Shi, regarded as the most beautiful woman of ancient China, and, less often, the Chrysanthemum Dog, a nickname coined in England in the 1930s.The dog may also be called the Tibetan Lion Dog, but whether or not the breed should be referred to as a Tibetan or Chinese breed is a source of argument, the absolute answer to which "may never be known".This dog is reported as being the most annoying dog in the world- quoted from THE REALITY OF DOGS by adam forester

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Shabu-shabu (しゃぶしゃぶ ,, also spelled syabu-syabu?) is a Japanese variant of hot pot. The dish is related to sukiyaki in style, where both use thinly sliced meat and vegetables, and usually served with dipping sauces. However, it is starkly different in taste; shabu-shabu is more savory and less sweet than sukiyaki. It is considered a winter dish but is eaten year-round.

simpleng pagunawa:

binabasa ko ulit yung mga notes ko at di ko sinasadyang mapasadahan yung isang topic na nagpagaralan namin sa legal ethics. hindi naman masyadong maganda ung speech nung speaker, pero kahit papano, tinablan ako (ewan ko lang ung mga classmates ko huh).

akala ko kasi dati, pag naging lawyer nako, lahat pera pera lang . hindi mo naman ako masisisi kung bakit ganun na almang ung tingen ko sa mundo. inakala ko na ang unang dapat kong gawin eh ang magpayaman!(lintik, sino bang hindi nagisip ng ganito diba?)... pero, gaya nga ng nakasanayan, may mga bagay talaga akong makakalimutan... NAKALIMUTAN KO ung salitang PAGLILINGKOD.

Oo nga naman, dapat ang isang abogado, may paninindigan para sa bayan. pero, sa ngayun, medyo hirap akong intindihin kung anu ako para sa bansa ko... kasi ang gusto ko lang sa ngayun, maranasan at makuha ko yung pinakaaasam na estado sa buhay... ang magkaroon ng ISANG BAHAY NA PUNO ng PERA!!! -at base sa pagkakalam ko, hindi mo yun basta basta makukuha kung masyado kang legal!(otherwise is illegal).

bata pa nga ako sa turing kasi di ko pa naabot ung mga sinasabi ng matatandang abogado...maglingkod sa kapwa, para sa bansa! ah. basta. ayoko isipin. ayoko mamrublema. isa lang ang alam ko....DAPAT MAKAPASA MUNA AKO SA BAR bago isipin tong mga gantong bagay

What a man of the law should possess is a passion for the truth, A PASSION FOR
JUSTICE. This passion should be of such a magnitude as to give him the power to
stand firm when those around him seem to be going mad. It should be of such
solidity as to grant him the strength to stand alone when all else is turning
into dust. It should be of such perseverance as to infuse him with a loneliness
that only those who have a vision can endure. It is a passion to keep alive that
eternal challenge that justice must be done whatever be the cost.

-justice pompeyo diaz. passion for justice

3 years and 4 months


i used to have a belief that love is just for matured people; prepared ones! Thus, it is not for me then. But due to the passage of time, i realized that my belief is actually a DISBELIEF because love... is for everybody; regardless of age and standing.
- my legal basis for this? EXPERIENCE!!!


three years of being with you is three years of happiness, learning, experience and passion.both of us were not prepared, nor matured then. I never thought that i can love you with the means i had at the time you answered "yes" for my proposal. whew. watta a wonderful thing. hahah


actually, words are too weak to express my emotions right now. masyado lang akong masaya. basta, i know what we want and i know how to have it.


we will take it very slow and easy. we will hold hands, make a hot kiss and a better future!

cant fully express my feelings... still in a cloud9. hahah
thank you!

PUG



i will have this breed of dog no matter what... grabeh. iba ung pakiramdam ko d first time i saw this pic. i felt that i really have to make ways for me to have the moment of indulgence on this cute toy dog. whew. i actually made some effort searching info's regarding this PUG toy dog. here we go... :

The pug is a small breed of dog which can be considered to be in the toy category. He has a wrinkled face, a nose that looks like it is pushed back and smashed, and he usually has a square type body that is thick and stocky. The term "pug" comes from an old English term which means playful little devil or monkey. They range in color from fawn, black, apricot, and silver. Their eyes are prominent and expressive because of their short muzzle. They have a tail that curls tightly over or along their back. Generally they will weigh approximately 15 pounds when fully matured, however this breed tends to gain weight easily. Pugs in the eighteenth century were long and lean but the standard today is a square body that is compact and muscular. Their eyes are large and they have wrinkles around their short neck.

Pug puppies are often referred to as puglets because they appear to be little balls of wrinkles and muscle. When they are born the pug puppies will display a glossy coat that is a solid color and accented by black on their nose and face. The tails are left undocked and preferably will curl around twice. Because their coats are short in nature they do shed but this can be minimized by frequent dog grooming to remove the excess hair. This should be started early in life so that the pug will get used to the idea of frequent brushing and grooming.

Even though the pug may display an expression that is stern, their temperament is usually one of fun. They are highly sociable, playful, charming, clever, and sometimes can show a stubborn streak. They are sensitive to the human voice and a stern voice is usually all of the punishment they need. They usually get along well with other animals but they prefer the attention which is provided by humans. They have a tendency to show jealousy and may become agitated if their human does not give them the attention they desire. They love to be lap dogs and will follow their human from one room to another so that they can remain close.

Because of their compact nose, often the pug will experience problems breathing. At times this can prevent them from cooling their body as they should. This should be taken into consideration when you have a pug in a hot environment. Because of this problem, pugs do much better in a controlled temperature that is cooler. If care is not taken with the wrinkles on their face and neck the pug could experience adverse dog health problems as a result. Because of their tendency to gain weight, healthy feeding should be considered and you should always ensure that they get the proper amount of exercise each day. Their nature is to be lazy so this is something you should get them used to each day.

When excited, the pug may experience what is known as reverse sneezes. It appears that the pug is laboring to breathe because of the snorting and wheezing sound it produces. This can usually be taken care of by gently calming the pug down to where he is once again breathing normally. When this happens it will often scare the owner but it is actually not harmful to the dog and often will go away without human intervention.
