Some practical question I came across today:
Pag organizer ka ug usa ka seminar/training unya ang venue ninyo kay sa hotel - pwede ba nimo ma "take out" ang sobra na food?

Answer:

A. NO. IF ang hotel clear and transparent sa ilang "no take out" policy as part of their compliance for food safety and liability reasons, which must be clearly stated in the Contract or House rules.

Ang mga hotels and similar alike most of them adopt "no take out" policy for food safety and health reasons such as spoilage and liability reasons. As a professional etiquitte - it is best to consumed the food "during" the event to avoid excess.

B. YES. IF it is not provided in the Contract or Agreement, or House Rules, and the hotel DID NOT inform or notify the organizers of the said "no take out" policy BEFOREHAND.

There is no specific law in the Philippines that directly prohibits taking out excess food from hotel seminars. However, hotels are legally allowed to impose a “no take-out” policy based on food and sanitation purposes.

So since there is no specific law prohibiting the taking out food, it goes down now to the Contractual Rights of the parties.
-Is it provided clearly in the contract?
-Was it included in the House Rules?
-Was the policy clearly communicated to the organizers?
- If the answers to these questions are ALL NO - the organizers are not bound to comply absent clear knowledge of the said "no take out" policy.

The food served is part of the package contract between the hotel and the organizer (In short gibayaran nana ang food). The policy is enforceable as long as it is part of the hotel’s contractual terms or house rules.

If not communicated to the organizer/participants, enforcement becomes a matter of fairness and transparency - take note that a "no take out" policy is not one of the "facts" that are considered under the Judicial Notice Rule — The hotel should inform organizers and attendees BEFOREHAND AND NOT AFTER (No Retroactive Effect). Hotels and organizers have a responsibility to clearly communicate policies that affect participants.

If the rule was not announced, participants cannot reasonably be expected to comply. Enforcing penalties or reprimands would be questionable if the rule was never disclosed. If THE HOTEL DID NOT RELAY the hotel’s policy, RESPONSIBILITY FALLS MORE ON THE HOTEL MANAGEMENT AND NOT ON THE ORGANIZERS OR PARTICIPANTS.

In law, obligations arise from contracts and notice. Without notice, it’s unfair to impose the policy esp penalties. CONTRACTS produces RIGHTS & OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES.

Now tell me - Who has the better right over the food???

A simple "paxenxa na maam wala mi ka inform sa policy" is not enough.
