The has approved the Manual on the Rules on Unified Legal Aid Service (ULAS), which guides the implementation of the ULAS Rules that took effect on February 3, 2025. These Rules require covered lawyers to provide at least 60 hours of free legal aid service every three years to individuals who cannot afford adequate legal representation.

Under the Rules, the legal service is free for qualified beneficiaries — individuals who meet the eligibility criteria under the Rules and Manual.

The Manual supplements the Rules by outlining key procedures for compliance. Lawyers must create accounts on the ULAS Portal, an upcoming online platform, through which all reports, requests, and documents related to their pro bono work will be submitted. Lawyers may also opt to give financial contribution to the ULAS Fund instead of rendering service, and may do so generally for up to 50% of the required hours, but must remit payment before the end of the compliance period. Lawyers may also seek reimbursement for certain reasonable expenses, including transportation and document printing, subject to availability of funds and approval by the ULAS Office.

My Notes to the Salient Features of the Amendment to 2004 Rules on Notarial Practice
Reference: OCA Circular No. 197-2025

I wish I'd learned as a kid that it's okay to make mistakes, that they're just chances to become a better person. But, sadly, that's not how I was raised. I was severely punished and treated like I was on trial for every mistake I made. So, now, as an adult, it's hard to deal with mistakes. I'm hoping to learn that these mistakes don't define who I am, but are just reminders that humans aren't meant to be perfect, and that mistakes are important steps on the way to success.

It's really nice to meet kind people. They're rare and they make living in this world bearable...

May your tribe multiply 🤗
