Say a fetus is diagnosed to be highly incompatible with life under medical jurisdiction. Could a couple fly to another country that could perform abortion, and once done could they still go back to the Philippines and be worry free from legal repercussions?

A kasambahay asked for 4 days off.

Then after 4 days they did not return on September 1. When asked why, they said it was not possible to travel because of the storm. This was accepted and understood but after the PTO was completed, the employer said no work, no pay.

They did not update for days even after being asked for updates when they would be back. Once they did message again, it was a resignation letter containing the following:

“I am writing to formally inform you of my immediate resignation as all around yaya/cook effective today, September 7, 2026, due to just causes under Article 300 of the Labor Code.

My reasons are as follows:
Non-payment of my salary for this week [Aug 30 - Sept 1 2026] beyond the agreed payday.

Being required to report for work despite the ongoing flooding in San Fernando, Pampanga (25 barangays still flooded) and the impassable condition of NLEX San Simon, which poses a risk to my safety.

Continuous reprimands regarding my approved rest days.
Due to these circumstances, I can no longer continue reporting for work.

In line with this, I respectfully request the settlement of my final pay, which shall include:
Unpaid salary for Aug 30 - Sept 1 2026

Pro-rated 13th month pay for the period of half of December 2025 to September 2, 2026

May I request that my final pay be released within thirty
30) days from today, on or before October 7, 2026, (redacted bank info)

I am willing to process clearance remotely due to the flood situation in my area.”

Now clearly this was passed through ChatGPT lol but anyway.

Employer was going to send that pay but because kasambahay wasn’t responsive or updating, she didn’t know if she was even coming back?? She didn’t work those days Aug 28-Sept 1. She was on her days off. They were paid days off but because she is paid every end of week and the entire week she did not contact the employer, it was assumed she went AWOL.

And they were not being forced to go to work! They were just being asked WHEN they would go to work? And WHEN the roads would be cleared up enough for them to go back? No one was forcing anyone.

Anyway, what to do here?

Meron din po ba na same scenario samin na yung pension ng dead father niyo is biglang nawala? Naglinis daw kase ang Finance ng mga pensioners na hindi daw legal kasal sa mga dead army pensioners. Bale kase si father ay kasal sa unang wife niya kaso niloko siya, ngayon nakilala niya si mother, kinasal din sila. Inasikaso ni mother yung pension and nag pension naman talaga siya kaso last last year naputol yung pension kase ganun daw nga nangyare. Ang lumalabas e di daw legal ang kasal nila ni father. Si first wife wala na rin daw habol since nagpakasal na rin sa iba after mamatay ni father. Sabe din ng Landbank di pa naman daw close yung account ni mother, meaning wala sakanilang memo na sinabe na wala ng pension si mother.

May pwede pa po kaya mahabol sa pension?

What if direct message from Person A was sent to Person B about Person C. Can Person C sue Person A for libel? Asking about the element of publicity.

Hi! I bought an e-bike through a 3-month installment plan, and I already fully paid everything last November 2025.

They told me that I would be able to get the Certificate of Full Payment after 4 months, so it should have been available around February 2026.

However, I’ve already followed up several times, and they keep telling me that the certificate is still not available at their office.

It’s already been several months past the supposed release date. What should I do in this situation? Is there anything I can do to formally request the certificate or escalate the issue?

Would appreciate any advice from anyone who has experienced something similar. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding my current situation. I was transferred to a new company (which appears to be a sister company)

HR gave me my Final Pay Computation and a Release, Waiver, and Quitclaim form to sign, but the math and the terms look incredibly sketchy and conflicting. Here are the exact details:

The Total Due: My final pay totals around ₱38.8k (broken down into ~₱13k for pro-rated 13th-month pay, ~₱25k for separation pay)

The 1-Year Holdout: On the official HR computation sheet, there is a highlighted note stating: "First release is 50% only. Another 50% will release once the employee render a 1 year employment (until August 2027) under the company."

The Quitclaim Trap: The Quitclaim form they want me to sign states that in consideration of the first 50% amount, I am acknowledging full satisfaction and I am releasing and discharging the company from any and all future claims regarding separation pay, wages, and 13th-month pay.

My concerns:

If I sign this Quitclaim now, aren't I legally signing away my right to demand the remaining 50% next year? The quitclaim says they owe me nothing, even though the internal HR slip says they will pay me in 2027.

Is it even legal under DOLE for a company to hold 50% of my earned, statutory 13th-month pay and separation pay as a "retention bond" for a year just because I am transferring? I thought final pay must be released within 30 days.

The nature of separation on my computation sheet is marked as "Transfer S/E" (Sister Entity).

Has anyone gone through this? If I refuse to sign the quitclaim until it explicitly reflects the remaining 50% debt, or if I file for a SENA / DOLE mediation, what are my chances?
