Tutorial for Labor 1 and 2

It turns out that opening an office and going into practice with my fiancee are not activities that can be paired with maintaining this blog. And now with an added tutorial gig, I don’t think I can promise new blog posts anytime soon. What I can promise though is that we’ll be having comprehensive discussions

Labor Law Bar Exam Questions Topics (2009-2019)

As promised, here is my compilation of the topics asked under Labor Law during the 2009-2019 Bar Exams. Do what you must with this data, but I advise you to focus on studying the most often-asked questions first. If you find yourself out of time, this list is useful in giving you confidence that you

Writs of habeas corpus, kalikasan, habeas data, and amparo

This particular entry was just added to the 2022 Political Law bar syllabus, particularly under the Bill of Rights (even if I think it’s better suited for Remedial Law). Does that mean that it’s going to come up? Probably, but I think the question won’t focus too much on the procedure. So let’s talk about

Political Law: What To Expect

We’re back! It’s been a long time since we posted anything here. That’s what happens when you have a job from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., I guess. But that doesn’t matter now because we have all the time in the world to continue our bar review series. We started this blog series with the

Honesty and belief: An unexpected story of how I became a news editor

Two years of review, isolation, and exhaustion culminated in 16 hours of tests crammed in 3 days. I can finally say that the Bar Exam is over. But, after about a week of rest, I realized that I lost two years of my normal life and perhaps my skills. How can I now earn money?

What Now?#PostBestBarEver

It’s been more than a week since the bar exams ended. Most bar candidates (including me) probably would want to move on and venture into activities that would keep their minds busy. Who wouldn’t want to forget that experience when all we’ve been reviewing for 1-2 years were compressed into 16 grueling hours in three

Just and Authorized Causes

This first question is an objective one. It will not be asked in the 2022 bar exams because the Omnibus Guidelines provide that questions will be about a “specific legal problem.” Anyway, based on the answer above, we’re already familiar with just and authorized causes. But we’ll talk about the entire main topic where just

Labor Standards Part II (Wages)

Last time, we went over Hours of Work, Rest Periods, and Service Charge. It’s now time to finish Labor Standards starting with Wages. Wages 1. Definition, components, and exclusions Let’s start with the definition of wage. Wage encompasses every remuneration or earnings, capable of being expressed in terms of money, payable by an employer to

Labor Standards Part I (Conditions of Employment: Hours of Work, Rest Periods, Service Charge)

Now that we got Recruit and Placement and Christmas out of the way, it’s time to reset and go to Labor Standards. I think it’s better to first tackle Employer-Employee relationship when we get to the gist of labor law, but that’s not how the syllabus is sequenced. Let’s see if following the syllabus works.
