Give a man free sex, entertainment, and comfort, and he’ll forget his goals.
Give him pain and heartbreak, and he’ll feel like conquering the world.
Dear son, hard times are a blessing, not a curse.
Denzel Washington was right, always be thankful for the bad things in life. They open your eyes to see the good things you weren't paying attention to before.
Ang problema ni Marcoleta, inamin niyang tumanggap siya ng P75 million bilang congressman mula sa mga kaibigan niya.
Kaya lang, para lusutan ang kaso sa COMELEC, sinabi niyang hindi yun campaign contribution.
Eh ano yun?
Regalo? Eh bawal sa batas tumanggap ng ganung kalaking regalo ang public official. At saka kung regalo, bakit hindi reflected sa kaniyang SALN?
Suhol? Eh di mas lalong bawal.
Tapos sa laki ng halaga, may batayan na sabihing plunder ang kaso.
Kaya talagang makakasuhan siya.
A reminder from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson:
“Happiness comes from solving problems. The keyword here is "solving." If you're avoiding your problems or feel like you don't have any problems, then you're going to make yourself miserable. If you feel like you have problems that you can't solve, you will likewise make yourself miserable. The secret sauce is in the solving of the problems, not in not having problems in the first place. To be happy we need something to solve. Happiness is therefore a form of action; it's an activity.”

In the case of Mesina v. Heirs of Fian, the Supreme Court held that the exclusion of the indispensable parties does not amount to a failure to state the cause of action, because the inclusion of the indispensable party is not an essential element of a cause of action. Consequently, the infirmity is properly a non-joinder of an indispensable party. Moreover, the Rules of Court provides that non-joinder of an indispensable party is not a ground for dismissal.
Here, the fact that the co-heirs were not impleaded constitutes non-joinder of indispensable parties and not failure to state the cause of action. Thus, the defendant is incorrect since non-joinder of indispensable parties is not a ground for dismissal.

In the Bar Examinations, the examiner does not always directly test a single rule or provision. More often, the examinee is challenged to distinguish between two related concepts governed by different provisions of the Rules, especially if they are made an issue in a case decided by the Supreme Court.
Thus, identifying the issue is itself part of the examination. The issue presented in a Bar question is not always a given. It must first be discerned from the facts before the correct rule can be applied.
Here, the issue is not only whether dismissal is proper, but also whether the ground for the dismissal is correct. To correctly answer the former, the examinee must first be firm as to the latter.

As per BP 880 (1985), Reyes v. Bagatsing (1983) and Bayan v Ermita (2006), it is duty of a mayor to grant a permit to rally in a public place unless clear and convincing evidence that the assembly creates clear and present danger of a substantive evil or to public.

Isang "surprise" rally na nagdulot ng matinding trapik at napakalaking perwisyo sa mga bumabiyahe -- at dahil dito biglang magkaka-simpatiya kami sa isang umaming tumanggap siya ng regalong P75M nung siya ay Congressman? Di ko gets, sorry.
INC members gather infront of the Virgin Mary, not praying i suppose? And for what, to protect a corrupt senator?
Now they "own" the place they once despised, near an image of the virgin they don't believe in. What a bunch of gullible, brainless hypocrites.
Sino may dinuguan?

One zoom was all it took, and suddenly she became the star of the match. 💖😍
Some smiles are simply impossible to ignore. 🌸
