RE: PROPOSED RULE ON GUIDELINES TO BE OBSERVED BY TRIAL COURT JUDGES AND CLERKS OF COURT IN THE CONDUCT OF PRE- TRIAL AND USE OF DEPOSITION-DISCOVERY MEASURES RESOLUTION

The use of pre-trial and the deposition-discovery measures are undeniably important and vital components of case management in trial courts. To decongest court dockets, and to further implementthe pre-trial guidelines laid down in Administrative Circular No. 3-99 dated January 15, 1999 and except as otherwise specifically provided for in other special rules, the following guidelines are issued for the observance and guidance of trial judges and clerks of court: decongest court dockets, and to further implement the pre-trial guidelines laid down in Administrative Circular No. 3-99 dated January 15, 1999 and except as otherwise specifically provided for in other special rules, the following guidelines are issued for the observance and guidance of trial judges and clerks of court:

I.          PRE-TRIAL

A. CIVIL CASES

1. Within one day from receipt of the complaint:

1.1 Summons shall be prepared and shall contain a reminder to defendant to observe restraint in filing a motion to dismiss and instead allege the grounds thereof as defenses in the Answer, in conformity with IBP-OCA Memorandum on Policy Guidelines dated March 12, 2002.  A copy of the summons is hereto attached as Annex “A;” and

1.2 The court shall issue an order requiring the parties to avail of interrogatories to parties under Rule 25 and request for admission by adverse party under Rule 26 or at their discretion make use of depositions under Rule 23 or other measures under Rules 27 and 28 within five days from the filing of the answer.1 A copy of the order shall be served upon the defendant together with the summons and upon the plaintiff.

Within five (5) days from date of filing of the reply,2 the plaintiff must promptly move ex parte that the case be set for pre-trial conference.3 If the plaintiff fails to file said motion within the given period, the Branch COC shall issue a notice of pre-trial.

2.  The parties shall submit, at least three (3) days before the pre-trial, pre-trial briefs containing the following:4

a. A statement of their willingness to enter into an amicable settlement indicating the desired terms thereof or to submit the case to any of the alternative modes of dispute resolution;

b. A summary of admitted facts and proposed stipulation of facts;

c. The issues to be tried or resolved;

d. The documents or exhibits to be presented, stating the purpose thereof. (No evidence shall be allowed to be presented and offered during the trial in support of a party’s evidence-in-chief other than those that had been earlier identified and pre-marked during the pre-trial, except if allowed by the court for good cause shown);

e. A manifestation of their having availed or their intention to avail themselves of discovery procedures or referral to commissioners; and

f. The number and names of the witnesses, the substance of their testimonies, and the approximate number of hours that will be required by the parties for the presentation of their respective witnesses.

A copy of the Notice of Pre-trial Conference is hereto attached as Annex “B.”

The rule on the contents of the pre-trial brief must strictly be complied with.

The parties are bound by the representations and statements in their respective pre-trial briefs.

3.  At the start of the pre-trial conference, the judge shall immediately refer the parties and/or their counsel if authorized by their clients to the PMC mediation unit for purposes of mediation if available.5  If mediation fails, the judge will schedule the continuance of the pre-trial conference.  Before the continuance, the Judge may refer the case to the Branch COC for a preliminary conference to assist the parties in reaching a settlement, to mark the documents or exhibits to be presented by the parties and copies thereof to be attached to the records after comparison and to consider such other matters as may aid in its prompt disposition.6

During the preliminary conference, the Branch COC shall also ascertain from the parties the undisputed facts and admissions on the genuineness and due execution of the documents marked as exhibits. The proceedings during .the preliminary conference shall be recorded in the “Minutes of Preliminary Conference” to be signed by both parties and/or counsel, the form of which is hereto attached as Annex. “C”.

The minutes of preliminary conference and the exhibits shall be attached by the Branch COC to the case record before the pre-trial.

4. Before the continuation of the pre-trial conference, the judge must study all the pleadings of the case, and determine the issues thereof and the respective positions of the parties thereon to enable him to intelligently steer the parties toward a possible amicable settlement of the case, or, at the very least, to help reduce and limit the issues. The judge should not allow the termination of pre-trial simply because of the manifestation of the parties that they cannot settle the case. He should expose the parties to the advantages of pre-trial. He must also be mindful that there are other important aspects of the pre-trial that ought to be taken up to expedite the disposition of the case.7

The Judge with all tact, patience, impartiality and with due regard to the rights of the parties shall endeavor to persuade them to arrive at a settlement of the dispute.8 The court shall initially ask the parties and their lawyers if an amicable settlement of the case is possible. If not, the judge may confer with the parties with the opposing counsel to consider the following:

a. Given the evidence of the plaintiff presented in his pre-trial brief to support his claim, what manner of compromise is considered acceptable to the defendant at the present stage?

b. Given the evidence of the defendant described in his pre-trial brief to support his defense, what manner of compromise is considered acceptable to the plaintiff at the present stage?

If not successful, the court shall confer with the party and his counsel separately.

If the manner of compromise is not acceptable, the judge shall confer with the parties without their counsel for the same purpose of settlement.

5. If all efforts to settle fail, the trial judge shall:

a. Adopt the minutes of preliminary conference as part of the pre-trial proceedings and confirm markings of exhibits or substituted photocopies and admissions on the genuineness and due execution of documents;

b. Inquire if there are cases arising out of the same facts pending before other courts and order its consolidation if warranted;

c. Inquire if the pleadings are in order. If not, order the amendments if necessary;

d. Inquire if interlocutory issues are involved and resolve the same;

e. Consider the adding or dropping of parties;

f. Scrutinize every single allegation of the complaint, answer and other pleadings and attachments thereto and the contents of documents and all other evidence identified and pre-marked during pre-trial in determining further admissions of facts and documents.  To obtain admissions, the Court shall ask the parties to submit the depositions taken under Rule 23, the answers to written interrogatories under Rule 25 and the answers to request for admissions by the adverse party under Rule 26. It may also require the production of documents or things requested by a party under Rule 27 and the results of the physical and mental examination of persons under Rule 28;

g. Define and simplify the factual and legal issues arising from the pleadings.  Uncontroverted issues and frivolous claims or defenses should be eliminated. For each factual issue, the parties/counsel shall state all the evidence to support their positions thereon. For each legal issue, parties/counsel shall state the applicable law and jurisprudence supporting their respective positions thereon. If only legal issues are presented, the judge shall require the parties to submit their respective memoranda and the court can proceed to render judgment;9

h. Determine the propriety of rendering a summary judgment dismissing the case based on the disclosures made at the pre-trial or a judgment based on the pleadings, evidence identified and admissions made during pre-trial;10

i. Ask parties to agree on the specific trial dates for continuous trial in accordance with Circular No. 1-89 dated January 19, 1989; adhere to the case flow chart determined by the court, which shall contain the different stages of the proceedings up to the promulgation of the decision and use the time frame for each stage in setting the trial dates.

On the last hearing day allotted for each party, he is required to make his formal offer of evidence after the presentation of his last witness and the opposing party is required to immediately interpose his objection thereto. Thereafter, the Judge shall make the ruling on the offer of evidence in open court. However the judge has the discretion to allow the offer of evidence in writing in conformity with Section 35, Rule 132;

j. Determine the most important witnesses to be heard and limit the number of witnesses (Most Important Witness Rule). The facts to be proven by each witness and the approximate number of hours per witness shall be fixed;

k. At his discretion, order the parties to use the affidavits of witnesses as direct testimonies subject to the right to object to inadmissible portions thereof and to the right of cross-examination by the other party. The affidavits shall be based on personal knowledge, shall set forth facts as would be admissible in evidence, and shall show affirmatively that the affiant is competent to testify to the matters stated therein. The affidavits shall be in question and answer form, and shall comply with the rules on admissibility of evidence;

l. Require the parties and/or counsel to submit to the Branch COC the names, addresses and contact numbers of the witnesses to be summoned by subpoena;

m. Order the delegation of the reception of evidence to the Branch COC under Rule 30; and

n.  Refer the case to a trial by commissioner under Rule 32.

During the pre-trial, the judge shall be the one to ask questions on issues raised therein and all questions or comments by counsel or parties must be directed to the judge to avoid hostilities between the parties.

What the heck is the NBN deal all about?

Today I am about to attend a talk regarding the NBN deal and I have to admit that I still don’t have a firm stand regarding the supposed bribery and corruption that went along the said deal.  I am still at a limbo on who and what to believe.  For one, there are many claims and coutner-claims that surround the issue.  But what I am certain about is that I am to bound to believe the side or party who can and will produce solid evidences regarding the issue.   So far, all we have are testimonial claims and evidences, which canot be a solid ground to decide upon the matter.  Hearsays or testimonies can very well be corroborated.

Despite the current plight of the country on the issues on the NBN deal, we, as citizens, are duty-bound to know the issues surrounding the country’s present struggle.  We must be informed and make a firm stand on the issue.  We should not rely on what people or congregations say we should believe.  We must personally know the issues and assess it based on our own set of values, beliefs, and understanding.  As part of that duty, I am posting below the timeline, from Inquirer, of what happened during that deal.  I hope that this will help in assessing the issues and, at the very least, being informed about it.

AUG. 27 — Favila says $400 million of the $1.8 billion is not meant for any particular project like the NBN.

AUG. 28 – Nueva Vizcaya Rep. Carlos Padilla lodges a criminal complaint against Mendoza and two assistant secretaries of the DOTC at the Office of the Ombudsman for allegedly “giving undue advantage� to ZTE.

AUG. 29 — Padilla, citing a column by Jarius Bondoc in the Philippine Star, tags Commission on Elections Chair Benjamin Abalos Sr. as the poll official who allegedly lobbied for the ZTE broadband contract. Padilla says Abalos played golf with ZTE executives in Shenzhen and at the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club in Mandaluyong City just weeks before the contract was signed.

AUG. 30 — Abalos admits that he and some ZTE officials were golfing buddies and that ZTE executives paid for his trips to China. However, Abalos maintains that he never helped the company to win the deal. Abalos says he and ZTE officials met with Finance Secretary Margarito Teves at Teves’ house in Alabang, Muntinlupa, “one afternoon last year,â€? but adds that the NBN project was not discussed.

AUG. 31 — Teves confirms that he was introduced to ZTE officials at a meeting with Mendoza and Abalos and that they talked about the NBN project.

SEPT. 1 — Abalos says he called Teves and that the latter supposedly apologized for saying that Abalos was present when the project came during a discussion in Wack Wack.

SEPT. 5 — Romulo Neri, former NEDA director general and now Commission on Higher Education head, neither confirms nor denies that he was offered P200 million to support the NBN project. (A Newsbreak report would later say that Abalos offered Romulo P200 million so that NEDA would “helpâ€? with the ZTE deal.)

SEPT. 9 — Ms Arroyo talks with Chinese President Hu Jintao about the controversial NBN project on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Sydney, suggesting that Favila and Chinese Commerce Minister Bo Xilai work together to resolve the issue.

SEPT. 10 — AHI asks the Supreme Court to compel Malacañang to give it a copy of the contract won by ZTE. AHI also seeks for a temporary restraining order on the implementation of the government’s deal with ZTE while its petition is pending.

– AHI cofounder Jose “Joeyâ€? de Venecia III says at a forum that the supply contract with ZTE is overpriced by about $130 million to cover “commissions.â€? He describes Abalos as appearing to be the “captainâ€? of those who were brokering the ZTE deal. De Venecia says Abalos offered him $10 million in December 2006 to back off from the project.

– ZTE denies bribing government officials to bag the $329-million contract, saying that its initial offer of $262 million grew to $329 million because the government’s requirements changed.

SEPT. 11 — Acting on the petitions of Suplico and AHI, the Supreme Court issues a temporary restraining order on the implementation of the NBN project.

– Sen. Panfilo Lacson calls the President the driving force behind the deal with ZTE as he came out with a “reconstitutedâ€? copy of the supply contract.

SEPT. 12 — Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile says the “reconstituted copyâ€? Lacson presented was merely a supply agreement and that the more binding contract, the financial agreement, has not yet been approved.

In a letter to the blue ribbon committee, Mendoza begs off from attending the Senate hearing on the NBN project, saying that the two pending cases in the Supreme Court seeking to block the ZTE deal prevent him from speaking out on the matter.

SEPT. 14 — De Venecia says in an affidavit dated Sept. 11 that he was wiretapped by Abalos to monitor his conversations with ZTE officials and that it was Abalos himself, in a fit of rage, who admitted the offense sometime in February. Abalos denies the wiretap allegation and says that his lawyer is preparing to file several libel charges against De Venecia.

De Venecia says that a “mystery man� is part of the cast of characters behind the $329-million contract, but says he will reveal the person’s identity only if asked at a proper legal forum.

SEPTEMBER — De Venecia says he has received threats from powerful persons, including one that supposedly came from Mendoza’s camp. Mendoza scoffs at this allegation, calling it a “fairy tale.â€?

SEPT. 17 — The President’s husband, Jose Miguel Arroyo, boards a plane for Hong Kong on the eve of the Senate hearing on the NBN deal.

SEPT. 18 — De Venecia admits to the blue ribbon committee that the “mystery manâ€? is the President’s husband.

De Venecia says it was at the “reconciliation� meeting in mid-March at Wack Wack that Arroyo, whom De Venecia assumes was asked by Abalos to talk to him when Abalos failed to talk him out of the project, shoved a finger at him and told him to “back off.�

Other personalities present at the meeting other than himself, Arroyo, Mendoza and Abalos were Jimmy Paz (Abalos’ chief of staff), Quirino de la Torre (Abalos’ security staff), Ruben Reyes and Leo San Miguel.

In his testimony, De Venecia quoted his father as saying that Ms Arroyo asked Abalos during a golf game in Shenzhen in October last year why ZTE could not just undertake the project the way AHI had proposed (at no cost to the government).

The First Couple and Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., during a 10-city visit in China, were invited by the ZTE president to play golf. Abalos was one of the guest players.

SEPT. 19 — Arroyo, through his lawyer, confirms that he met with De Venecia at Wack Wack, but says it was “a purely chance encounterâ€? that did not include his barking at the businessman to “back offâ€? from the NBN deal.

Arroyo says that he merely “reminded� De Venecia that his being the Speaker’s son made it inappropriate for him to get involved in government contracts. The President’s husband denies that Abalos was at the meeting, saying that only he, De Venecia and Mendoza were present. De Venecia says Arroyo’s version of the meeting was “totally false.�

SEPT. 20 — Mendoza confirms at the second Senate hearing that the meeting took place and reiterates what Arroyo had declared through his lawyer that Arroyo did not raise his voice.

Mendoza even describes Arroyo as “mild-mannered,� while portraying De Venecia as someone who dogged him and went to see him in his office “several times� to follow up on his firm’s unsolicited NBN proposal.

After the hearing, Mendoza tells reporters that it was the Speaker, the younger De Venecia’s father, who aggressively lobbied for his son’s firm to bag the contract.

Favila says he is open to modifying or even rescinding the NBN deal and says he will talk to his Chinese counterpart, Trade Minister Bo Xilai, to discuss other options to undertake the NBN project, including its “cancellation or abrogation.�

SEPT. 22 — The President suspends the NBN project “indefinitely,â€? but senators say they will continue the probe despite the suspension.

SEPT. 24 — Ms Arroyo allows Neri, who failed to attend the Sept. 20 hearing due to “intestinal flu,â€? to attend the Senate probe. Earlier, Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said Neri was part of the President’s official delegation to the United Nations General Assembly that is scheduled to leave for New York the next day, but Neri himself later told reporters that his trip had been canceled.

SEPT. 25 — The President discloses at a meeting in Malacañang that she had the NBN project “discreetly investigatedâ€? and found that the reports of bribery tainting the project were “uncorroborated.â€?

SEPT. 26 — Neri admits at the Senate hearing that Abalos offered him P200 million in exchange for giving the approval on the NBN project. Neri says he mentioned the bribe offer to Ms Arroyo, who he says told him to decline it.

De Venecia reiterates his earlier claim that Abalos offered him a $10-million bribe, which the Comelec chair vehemently denies. Abalos also denies brokering the NBN deal for ZTE.

Something to thank Him for…

The past few days have been super super stressing for me on almost all ends of my life. School cramming since finals is a month away and all teachers are scheduling special or make-up classes to cover the required readings and lessons for the exam. Work is fully-loaded on trying to reach the goal. Brother bugging on celphone line. Pray and support on Bebe’s job training. And many other concerns to deal with. But a recent event wiped off all the stress.

My application for scholarship was granted! (on the condition that I maintain a QPI of not lower than 82%; note: 85% qualifies for dean’s list…so it is a challenge) The scholarship grant was partial, but that still means a lot to me.

I’ve been applying for scholarship since college and God knows how hard it is to accomplish the forms, on top of the regular school load that I had to attend to. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting that this application will be granted, since I’m used to being rejected with my applications at the Loyola school because of my dad’s income tax return (ITR). But as the saying goes, ‘never say die’….’try and try until you die’…I tried my luck last semester and applied for a scholarship (using my own ITR, since I support my own studies and since dad has retired). And to my surprise, I got the approval of my application yesterday.

This only shows the power of prayer, patience, and of God. So for those who so want something in their life, don’t lose hope…He’s just waiting for the perfect time. And don’t be afraid to try! Be patient and bug Him every now and then with what you’re praying for. (Marunong din ciang makulitan..hehe)

As closing, I’ll share the Memorare prayer to the Immaculate Mother. This prayer has been my comfort prayer and refuge in times of distress. I recite this every after personal prayer until I memorized it. Here it goes:

Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, and sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I hasten to you O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the world incarnate, do not despise my petition, but in your mercy (Lord), hear and answer me. Amen.

Is ‘Legal Writing’ writing legal?

Legal Writing is defined by Wikipedia as ‘a type of technical writing used by legislators, lawyers, judges, and others in law to express a legal analysis of legal rights and duties.’ While my professor discusses that Legal Writing is employed specifically to secure a relief, to give opinion to a specific question of law, or for direct personal recourse, which may be defined according to (1) who is the user, and (2) what is its use. Legal Writing is distinguished from other forms of writing with its citation to authority, importance of precedents, use of vocabulary, and form/procedures in writing.

Legal writing is known for being well-cited. Its claims are always anchored to law, jurisprudence, customs, and other standards that support its viability. A person in law would employ a standard for every event. This feature also serves as the root for the concept of stare decisis and res judicata, whereby a formerly settled principle of law is protected from disturbances, except upon a new judicial order or decision. That is, the value of precedents.

Another feature of legal writing is its unique vocabulary. Legal writing uses a variety of words, from specialized words, to everday words, to archaic words, to loan words. A legal writer must have a chest of vocabulary at hand.

And lastly, the form of writing. Legal writing follows a basic form yet a unique formulation. Going on with the procdures, there are 3 basic steps in legal writing: (1) Pre-writing, (2) Writing, and (3) Post-writing.

Pre-writing involves the following steps:
- Identify the object or cause of action
- Identify the best means or vehicle to communicate the object (Whether it should be a manifestation, a brief, a pleading, a memoranda, etc.)
- Identify the form/structure (What are the basic components of the material that you will be writing, i.e. header, introductory line, etc.)
- Identify the pertinent content or details
- Identify the law or rules applicable to the case
- Identify the proposition or the recommended course of action that should be taken

In the writing stage, the following are the steps to be taken:
- Give an introductory paragraph that should give a gist of what is in the body and what the readers should expect
- Identify the antecedents of the case. There are two types of antecedents:
(1) Procedural antecedents deal with the history of the case (it provides whether it is an appeal or a new case), or
(2) Factual antecedents which give a chronology of events or a narration of the case.
Under the second type of antecedent, there are two forms:
(2.1) Narrative which is like story-telling, and
(2.2) Reportorial which is mostly used in complex or voluminous crimes and uses headings and sub-headings to show the logical flow of events.
- Identify the issue of the case. It can either be:
(1) Factual issue (disputes regarding the presence or absence of a thing at the time of the event), or
(2) Legal issue (dispute as to the meaning of the event)
- Give a discussion of the facts and issues presented. This part of the writing is where the writer has the liberty to use his/her own style of writing.
- Provide a conclusion. Most writers would want this part to be given with a punch to be remembered by readers.

And last but not the least, no legal writing should end without passing through post-writing. The last stage would involve reviewing, proofreading, and rewriting. The two types of editing would be:
(1) Formal, which deals with the basics of form like margins, spacing, alignments, etc. This part is important especially on certain types of documents where form prevails over substance like wills, donations, and manifestation (should not have a prayer), since a wrong form in these documents may amount to trashing said documents or may be a ground for dismissal, without the judge even reading your material.
(2) Substantive, which deals on the overall relevance and coherence of your piece.

Following these steps should allow one to write as a person in law. That is ‘Legal Writing’!. But writing legal is another matter to discuss. The latter will deal more on the substance and content and may vary on a case-to-case basis. As a general rule, the substance must prevail over form, with the exception as discussed above. Therefore, writing legal is a greater task that we are yet to learn later on, not just in the professional school, but in real practice and experience.

National ID System: For the Go or Forego

The case of Ople vs. Torres in 1998 paved the way to the feasibility of a National ID System. The case centers around the validity (constitutionality) of A.O. No. 308 (National Computerized Identification Reference System). It was found to be unconstitutional for posing a threat to the right to privacy. The court says that to be valid, it must be narrowly focused and a compelling interest must justify the law’s intrusion to individual rights. Moreover, intrusions into the right must be accompanied by proper safeguards and well-defined standards, which is lacking in the proposed system.

(Here is how a National ID System usually works)

Now, in a command conference in Camp Aguinaldo, the AFP has made a recommendation to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to revive the National ID System. AFP spokesperson, Lt. Col. Bartolome Bacarro said, “The recommendation for the revival of the national ID system is to accelerate accomplishing the [President’s] marching orders given to the AFP [to eradicate the communist insurgency by 2010].�

PGMA expressed her favor for using the National ID System to “provide services to our citizens”, particularly on government departments like Social Security System (SSS) or the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth). The main point of its implementation would be on having a greater coordination between government agencies, with the end of overcoming the threat to our national security.

However, Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno said that it is not possible to implement it within the year because we are not prepared, at this moment, to use a consolidated singular ID. It would take some time to complete the system analysis of all ID schemes, but we are getting there. Hopefully, this recommendation will be approved and the law will be perfected in no time.

DOJ website hacked: NBI is now on the hunt

A felon is a felon, whether it be against a private individual or the government!

YEZ! Last thursday, Jan. 3rd, some felons greeted DOJ with a big surprise for the New Year. For a few hours, visitors of the Department of Justice’s website saw Wizard of Enchanted Kingdom, instead of Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez.



 
There was no major disruptions in the operations of DoJ, but the incident remains to be a great mockery and an on-the-face insult to the department. If hackers can access even the government department’s websites, how much more private individual’s websites.This poses as a warning to different business establishments as well who uses the internet as a means of a selling point or keeps record or uses the worldwideweb as a means of communication. Important files on the net may no longer be safe and we all have to be cautious.

The DoJ website was hosted by PLDT, who has promised to investigate the event as well. As of now, the NBI is also conducting their own probing and hunt for who is liable for the hacking. Note that hacking is punishable under Republic Act No. 8792 or the E-commerce Law. As Sec. 33 of the said law provides:

“SEC. 33. Penalties. – The following Acts shall be penalized by fine and/or imprisonment, as follows:

(a) Hacking or cracking which refers to unauthorized access into or interference in a computer system/server or information and communication system; or any access in order to corrupt, alter, steal, or destroy using a computer or other similar information and communication devices, without the knowledge and consent of the owner of the computer or information and communications system, including the introduction of computer viruses and the like, resulting in the corruption,destruction, alteration, theft or loss of electronic data messages or electronic document shall be punished by a minimum fine of one hundred thousand pesos (P100,000.00) and a maximum commensurate to the damage incurred and a mandatory imprisonment of six (6) months to three (3) years;…”

MACBOOK PRO STOLEN on CHRISTMAS! 40K REWARD

(I’m posting this to help the victim..to what’s the least that I can do)

STOLEN: Macbook Pro 2.4GHZ, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD – SERIAL # W8732099X92
WHEN: DEC.23,2007
WHERE: Tagaytay City
REWARD: P40,000 for recovery and information leading to recovery
CONTACT: MARK DE LOS REYES, 0917-893-2392

My sister’s Macbook Pro laptop was stolen last DEC. 23 from our home in Tagaytay. Someone had taken her laptop from a table inside our house while it was charging. Charger, and case were taken as well. My sister is supposed to graduate this coming year and all her work files were in that computer. (my christmas gift to her was an external hdd for her to back up her files, but unfortunately the laptop was stolen before she could use it.) Her thesis and a lot of her design work remains inside, so the laptop’s contents are more valuable to us than the actual laptop. The computer is passworded, so it is likely that the person who has it will bring it to a store or shop to have the hard disk reformatted.

Please spread the word among technicians and other apple stores so that this laptop may be found soon. My sister’s career depends on it.

Hopefully we can all still have a happy new year.
