Cross-Examination Techniques: A Practical Guide to Litigation
This book explores the art of cross-examination in Philippine courtrooms—its tools, tactics, and techniques. It draws a vivid comparison between the best practices of Philippine and American trial lawyers, examining what truly works and what falls short.
To uncover these lessons, an empirical method was used. Surveys, interviews, and real-world experiences shaped the findings—revealing how Filipino litigators set their goals, prepare their cross, and choose the techniques that land with impact. By mapping the patterns and themes in these practices, and comparing them to time-tested American strategies, this work bridges a long-standing gap in Philippine legal literature. More than just theory, this is a practical handbook—one the Philippines has long needed, but until now, did not have. It distills the real-world wisdom of trial lawyers, prosecutors, public attorneys, and judges across the country.

Telling Truths from Lies
When you take a life, it takes yours. Always remember that we only have ONE WORLD to live, and ONE LIFE to spare. It is therefore a shared responsibility among nations, and all persons of this planet, to protect this place we live in, and to treasure each life we have. People sometimes make wrong choices and decisions in life, they commit mistakes, stumble a lot. But most of the time, they get up, move on, take different routes, and they can recover.

A Handbook on the Fundamentals of Eminent Domain
The decision to write a book on eminent domain is prompted by the author’s experience in handling expropriation cases as a practitioner, and later, as a judge. The author hopes to bring common practices in expropriation closer to the Rules and/or jurisprudence. He notes, for instance, that under Rule 67 of the Rules of Court, pre-trial conference, an otherwise mandatory fixture in the pursuit of ordinary civil (and even criminal) actions, has no place in the procedure to be followed in expropriation cases.

This is patterned after my handwritten teaching notes as early as 2016, the Powerpoint slides that I have continually been editing since 2020 when the teaching landscape has been forced to adapt to the pandemic, incorporating the test banks I have originally created ever since I started teaching.
