Republic Act No. 11314 (Student Fare Discount Act) is clear: the 20% fare discount for students is available during the entire period while the student is enrolled—including weekends and holidays.

The Law: Section 4 states: "The fare discount granted under this Act shall be available during the entire period while the student is enrolled, including weekends and holidays".

LTFRB Warning: The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has warned PUV drivers and operators that rejecting student discounts on weekends or holidays will result in penalties: three-month suspension of driver's license and P1,000 fine per offense for drivers; for operators, a maximum fine of P15,000 and revocation of Certificate of Public Convenience.

What Happened?
The funds were supposed to provide farm inputs to 10 local government units. Instead, the money was funneled to 10 NGOs managed by Napoles, with falsified signatures of mayors and fabricated documents.

The Penalties:
Napoles: Up to 20 years per malversation count + 15 years per graft count
Pacturan: Up to 19 years per malversation count
Both ordered to return P50 million to the national treasury

Why This Matters to You
This case reminds us of the critical importance of:
✅ Proper contract review — Falsified MOAs led to this conviction
✅ Document verification — 8 mayors testified their signatures were fake
✅ Due diligence in government transactions — Due diligence could have prevented the diversion of funds

The case also demonstrates the Sandiganbayan's role in holding public officials and private individuals accountable for corruption and misuse of public funds.

In Rivera-Serate Law Office, we value accountability and transparency.

Do heirs inherit the debts of a deceased person? The Supreme Court addressed this in Heirs of Corazon Villeza v. Aliangan (G.R. Nos. 244667–69, December 7, 2020). The Court discussed Articles 774, 776, and 1311 of the Civil Code and explained that while obligations can form part of an inheritance, ordinary money debts of a deceased person are chargeable against the estate. The Court stated that heirs are not personally liable for the deceased's money debts beyond the estate; if the estate is insufficient, the heirs generally cannot be made to pay the remaining balance from their own property.
