Gun Law and Armed Defense
This little hornbook affords that reader some of the most vital pieces of information respecting gun law and armed defense. Primarily, it contains decisional case law on the matter of lawful self-defense; it thus, primordially seeks to uphold nothing but lawful self-preservation in certain extreme situations that may comprise life-and death scenarios. It also features a straightforward black-letter primer on the provisions of Republic Act No. 10591, as amended, pertinent subordinate legislation thereon, and edifying educative jurisprudence. The enactment of recent statutory amendments, and the newly modified implementing rules thereon is the primary mover that produced the impetus of writing this piece of legal literature.

Compendium on Practice and Pleadings in Labor Cases
This book is primarily intended for use by lawyers, especially those whose area of practice or specialization is labor cases. However, since non-lawyers with proper authorization are also allowed under Article 228 of the Labor Code to appear before the quasi-judicial agencies under DOLE, this book may also be useful as reference and guide to paralegals, labor leaders, human resources managers/practitioners and entrepreneurs.

Judicial Remedies Over Real Properties
This book discusses on the elements, basic concepts, and jurisprudential rules relative to the different judicial remedies involving real properties. It also delineates the distinctive features and characteristics of each remedy vis-àvis the others. It strives to be a reliable guidebook for the reader in order for him/her, first, to select the most appropriate and effective remedy under obtaining circumstances and, second, to formulate the factual allegations apropos to the chosen remedy. Let it be emphasized that a wrong remedy is fatal to one’s cause of action and could lead to the dismissal of the complaint. Similarly, even if the correct action was taken, yet, the complaint fails to set out key and material or jurisdictional facts, such dearth would be equally disastrous and could lead to a similar result.

Taxation Laws in the Philippines
It is undisputed that most students are struggling when it comes to Taxation because of its very technical nature. Because one of my advocacies is to make the study of law easier for everyone, I decided to write this book on Taxation that could certainly be understood by everyone. This book is intended as the first Taxation reference material for law students or anyone who wants to get a bird’s eye view of the subject before going to the regular textbooks. This textbook might not get all the topics in Taxation, but I make sure that it includes all essential topics on the study of the subject which would make the readers understand better the regular textbooks on Taxation.
For the 2025 version, I added the amendments from Ease of Paying Taxes and CREATE MORE Acts.

Blessed Nest
This book would have been a ghost of a botched dream if it wasn’t for my mother, Edna S. Vergel , a woman of few words, who told me one Saturday night while I was on the verge of putting the pen to rest that I should press on, that perhaps writing is really my thing. Thank you, Ma.

Administrative agencies play an essential role in modern governance, bridging the gap between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. As governments have grown more complex, the need for specialized bodies to regulate, implement, and enforce laws has become increasingly vital. In this context, administrative agencies with quasi-judicial powers serve as crucial instruments for resolving disputes, enforcing regulations, and protecting the rights of individuals and organizations within specific sectors.

Legal Pharmacy and Ethics
This book was inspired by the need to provide Pharmacy Students with a reference material to help them in their study of Pharmacy and in their preparation for the Pharmacist Licensure Examination. For the easy and proper understanding of legal concepts and provisions, the author has endeavored to simplify and explain in the manner that Pharmacy Students will easily comprehend. The approach is different as compared to other law books with the presumption that Pharmacy Students are focused on medical and scientific subjects and not on legal maxims, our system of the government, and/or legal framework. This is necessary in order to first build a working knowledge on the subject matter before one specializes in this area.
