Saturday typos, 12 December 2015
I'm going back through Paras's texts for our Civil Law review. For obligations and contracts and related titles, I am using Civil Code of the Philippines, 2008 Edition. I think not much have changed with the book except for new citations. For that I'll supplement the book with other texts of more recent edition. Paras's is like vintage wine; it tastes better with age.

Persons of interest
I am a fan of the tv series Person of Interest. The wikipedia defines a person of interest in this entry.
But what does the Civil Code of the Philippines mean by "two or more persons who do not have the same interest?"
I wrestled with this enigma since Oblicon 101 under Prof. Breech Largo but somehow failed to shoot him the question. Prof. Largo's recommended text was De Leon's Comments and Cases on Obligations and Contracts. The newest edition back then was the 2010 Edition. On page 77 here's how the authors discussed the 3rd paragraph of Art. 1165:
That does not enlighten us one bit. Neither does Vitug nor Jurado; they just quote the phrase as is.
But I think Paras tried - but failed to educate me - on page 117 of Civil Code of the Philippines, Vol. IV, 2008 Edition:
So let's do a Harold Finch (you've got to watch Person of Interest to know him) and piece a few things together.
Most of the provisions of the New Civil Code of the Philippines were lifted from the Spanish Codigo Civil. (Check a previous entry here referring to the Codigo Civil). Either they were translated directly or amended during the translation.
Article 1165 is supposed to be a direct translation, not an amended one, from Articulo 1096. Which is why there is the number 1096 enclosed in parentheses at the end of Art. 1165. Were it an amendment translation there should have been (1096a) instead of (1096).
But Articulo 1096 reads like this:
And the 2009 English edition of the Spanish Civil Code reads thus:
Harold would say that there is no cause for interest here.

Back on the internet
I am finally back on the internet after two weeks of a dead telephone line. They said that the third time is the charm. After my third visit to the PLDT office, their contractors finally called by cellphone asking for directions to our home.
I instead went to meet them at the data cabinet of PLDT where the Falco techs (PLDT contractor) were untangling a veritable spaghetti of jumper wires. There were columns of racks in the cabinet. Each rack has rows of strip rail bars where the ends of the jumper cables should have been neatly tucked into.
But the rail bars were hanging from the racks and many jumper cables were spliced into rattails and without terminal caps. When the exposed rattails corrode you will have slower connection and eventually a dead line like ours.
No wonder it takes days to isolate and locate the jumper that leads to the wire that goes to your home. My CSAT electronics teacher, Ondo Tarona, would have failed me if my wires were like that.

Saturday typos, 31 Oct 2015
I was completely disoriented this week due to exam pressures. Last night I put in a lot of reading time at the expense of my video viewing hours. :-) I was preparing for our mock bar exams for Labor and Political Law which I was dead sure would have been this morning. But the rooms were all locked when I arrived 30 minutes late for the schedule. I found out that the exams would still be on November 7. Now I was getting alarmed. Did I miss something else? Yes, I missed the final exams for my Practicum II and Practice Court which were given yesterday evening. :-(
It's good that our Professor for thesubjects- Atty. Gen. Fritz Quiñanola (yes, he is fondly called Atty. Gen. because he is a retired General of the former Philippine Constabulary, and a lawyer) - agreed to give me a special exams at his office. He said he woulod order Jolibee food to make me oriented to the answers. Hallelujah, as he would often exclaim in class.
So, here's some typos for today from the San Beda 2014 Memory Aid for Labor Law:
