i'm still an idealist. despite the fact that i graduated from the state university almost 10 years ago, i still believe there is hope for the philippines. how that will happen, i don't know. but somehow, i feel that in my own way, i try to 'do my own thing' to make it happen.
so what do i do? i work for the government. (and my ideals and values remain intact, thank you.) i teach college law part-time at an all-girls' college in quezon city. (knowledge is power.) i have a law firm which we put up with good friends and classmates from UP Law. (it's good to be your own boss.) i am the secretary general of a party list. (this is my "giving back" to society, in the most direct way i can manage.) i write a legal column for a filipino magazine published in singapore. (knowledge, again, is power.)
i know i do a lot of things, but i enjoy doing them. and yes, i still have a life.
if many of us believe, i think that little by little, step by step, our country will be a better place to live in. i hope.

last year, i met pastor rey navarro, a publisher of a filipino magazine in singapore, Ako Ay Filipino. mr. tormes, a former boss, facilitated the meeting. pastor rey invited me to join the magazine as a contributor for legal issues. i started writing in december, and the response has been good.
after blogging personal stuff for some months now, i decided to create this blog where i can post the answers to the questions that are sent to me via email.
if you have questions yourself, feel free to post your inquiries and i will try to answer them as soon as possible. i have always believed that the law is for everyone. and while inquiries here are free, i am posting a caveat: nothing beats going to a lawyer face to face when legal troubles arise.
carpe diem.
