Applying the Law
“Given these facts, what exactly does she get?”
Turn rules into outcomes — money owed, days counted, shares divided — and meet procedure early enough to use it.
Start here
Full lessons — comic, mechanism, problems and a check. About 20 minutes each.
Which court, and what has to happen first
“Saang korte ako magsasampa?”
Jurisdiction is set by law and by the allegations in the complaint — never by where it is convenient to sue. File in the wrong one and years of work evaporate.
Open lessonThe same land, sold twice
“Dalawang beses naibenta ang lupa. Sino ang panalo?”
Not the first buyer, not the one who paid more. Article 1544 runs a race, and good faith is the only way to finish it.
Open lessonJust cause is only half the case
“Tinanggal ako sa chat. Legal ba 'yon?”
Philippine law asks two questions about every dismissal, and an employer can lose on either one. This is the lesson students most often answer with only half of.
Open lessonImmediate resignation and the final pay
“Nag-resign ako agad. Pwede bang hindi ibigay ang final pay ko?”
The 30-day notice is real, and so is the employer's remedy for skipping it. Forfeiting wages is not that remedy.
