A new title of crimes in the Revised Penal Code

Book Two of the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines lists 13 titles enumerating the different names of crimes.

Rape has been transferred from Title Eleven - Crimes Against Chastity to Title Eight - Crimes Against Persons.

As an aside but a bit apropos, Prof. Paredes in his discussion on rape being now a crime against persons asked our class if rape done from behind can be called rape with treachery.

It seems there is now a new title of crimes. Take a look at the San Beda 2014 Memory Aid in Criminal Law:

Saturday typos, 15 Aug 2015

It's well into the semester for those of us who still start the school year in June. My place is getting a lot more organized with each day of finishing carpentry works. Hopefully I can get back on traction into my review classes.

I think the San Beda Memory Aids and Red Books are great for any law students on their final year in school. In my case they serve as good indexes for the textbooks I use. Judge Meinrado Paredes (retired) also recommends the UST Golden Notes. Although with a disclaimer: that memory aids are useless if one has not read the textbooks.

Judge Paredes is our professor for the review classes in Remedial Law and Criminal Law.  I like that Prof. Paredes can inject real life court situations into the discussions. I also remember the two mountain climbing expeditions he had with our environmental class at my former school.

Already he is hinting that he will not be back for the second semester in order to devote time to his farm. It would be a loss for my classmates and me.

Now on to our meager reading so far.

Saturday typo, 25 July 2015

Our house is slowly being put in order. My desktop PC is now in one corner of what will be our study room. The bookshelves, however, still need to be in place so that perusing my texts will be easy.

In the meantime, here's one from the internet.

The class is now on the Family Code and the various cases of void and voidable marriages. While referring to the San Beda memory aid, my interest was drawn to the case of Marcos vs Marcos, G.R. 136490.

I thought the case would either be about a fiscal I know in the the locality. It turned to be about some other couple not from my place.

After further search, I chanced on a page that was about a Marcos I knew from when I was a little younger. I used to pass by his house on my way to the office.

So here's our typo for this week:


Question: Is Tacaldo a type of vehicle?

The answer is here.

Saturday typos, 04 July 2015

Classes have just resumed but our home is still topsy turvy. So, I am unable to focus on reading my textbooks. I am just plodding along during class lectures. Hope I can go full steam ahead by August.

Here's some gleanings from the internet, instead.

It seems a woman in Ireland can father children.


This is a murder case so it qualifies for dissection. The full story is  here.

Dog owner bites

I am supposed to be very busy (see this post); but I cannot let this go by because this is real news.

As they say, when a dog bites a person that's not news. But when a person bites dog, that is news.

Well here, the dog owner bit someone. That could still be news.

As of 8:25 this evening this is one of the reports from SunStar Cebu. This may change anytime if the editors are careful. So here's a screen capture:


The penalties are found in the  Anti-Rabies Act of 2007.

Seriously now, here's a case which involves a person who is not even the dog owner but was still penalized by the SC because the dog he has been feeding bit a child.

Busy week

Posting will be erratic this month and next. We are replacing our roof which has been overcome by rust. And we are replacing the coco lumber roof structure with iron. As I used to say  to everyone at the office, I plan to reach 100. I hope the all-metal roof will last that long too.

I thought I could spend the off-school months reading my books and posting typos. But I am busy procuring the materials and working on the electrical system.

I finally found out that there are four-way switches in the stores. I thought they are not yet available locally. It costs more than 400 pesos a piece; the Panasonic one that I got for testing. Many of our present lamps are controlled from two locations. A few of my new lighting system will be controlled from three locations. Hence the need for 4-way switches.

Prof. Bayani Atup has advised us to concentrate this summer on the four bar subjects with the biggest percentage in the grade. So these will be the last typos until next school year from Tax 2 Revealed (A Guide to Passing the Bar) Vol. II by Josephrally L. Chavez, Jr.
