Question: Can poverty be a justification for selling or using prohibited drugs punishable under RA 9165?

Answer: No! The crime is MALA PROHIBITA. This means, it is wrong because the law says its wrong regardless of intent or purpose.

The belief of this priest is clearly misplaced. He reasoned, “para pantawid sa kahirapan para sa edukasyun ng anak” to justify selling but the same immaterial. In fact, this priest has the obligation to report these people to the proper authorities.

Question: Can a lawyer authorize in writing a non-lawyer to notarize and sign documents?

Answer: No. It is a NON-DELEGABLE DUTY. A serious violation of Notarial Law. The document notarized and signed by a non-lawyer is invalid, void, and no legal effect.

The person whose document is notarized and signed by a non-lawyer is wasting money for a document with no legal effect.

Academically speaking: criminology and law students to lawyers know that this is very wrong. The prosecution has the burden of proof. The accused need not even do anything and is entitled to acquittal if the prosecution failed to meet the required proof.

Reality speaking: You can say anything. This statement is a bait. The purpose is to lure you to a trap.

The lesson here: even if the statement is wrong, don’t judge the person. Look for the purpose instead.

LRT(Lahi Ra sa Tinood) Story.

RECKLESS IMPRUDENCE RESULTING IN HOMICIDE:

The negligence must come from the reckless driver.

GIVING ASSISTANCE TO SU***DE:

Not applicable because this is intentional felony as compared to unintentional felony.

NEITHER of these circumstances were present during the jumping of the student in LRT station. Inquest therefore was improper for lacked of criminal activity in the presence of the arresting officer.

Law enforcement must always consider the facts before and not the resulting incident.

The purpose of initial investigation is to look before in order to look ahead.

Police Welcoming Rites, two points of view:

1. Those who survived; compared to us, that is nothing.
2. Those who did not survived; cannot anymore say something.

If the reason is “to prepare one if he/she is caught by the enemy” then first there should be an enemy. Who is therefore the enemy of the police, the civilian?

Compared that to the men and women who are in charge of national security. If they will be caught by the enemy of the state (foreign or domestic), he/she will suffer and die as a matter of course.

In any case, rigorous training is needed with emphasis on training and not welcoming rites.
