Very busy weekend.

No posting this weekend. There were some big gaps in my reading time due to filial responsibility.

Sunday conundrum, 14 August 2016

In discussing Article 75 of the Revised Penal Code, Reyes has this to say on page 784 of his book The Revised Penal Code, Book One, 2012 Edition:



I have no problem with Par. 1 and 2.  But  where did he get his line of reasoning for the first clause of Par. 3?

Judgment in civil action: Regalado v Pamaran

On page 368 of the Remedial Law Compendium Vol. II, 11th Edition by Florenz D. Regalado the author quotes and explains Section 5 of Rule 111 in this manner:


In effect he says here that judgment in a criminal action does not bar a civil action. I think Regalado is 180 degree off topic.

Sunday conundrum, 24 July 2016

From the Civil Code of the Philippines, Annotated, Vol. I, 2013 Edition by Edgardo L. Paras:

Are some rights public and may, therefore, be privatized? Page 195.

Who are the "deeds" that can vote? Page 270.
Now this reminds me of a favorite story of Atty. Pat Acabodillo, one of my professors in Land Titles and Deeds. Somebody went to his office to ask for a certificate of death. He happened to be the Register of Deeds of Mandaue City at the time.

What is a statue of limitation? Page 39,

The Rules of Court say that the judge must propound searching questions before issuing a search warrant. What about investigating questions? Are they for investigation warrants? Page 219,
