Labor Law and Social Legislation: A Simplified Q&A Reviewer and Guide for Bar Examinees, Students, and Practitioners
₱1,760.00Driven by my passion to support law students, bar examination candidates, and labor law practitioners, I created this simplified labor law and social legislation reviewer and guide. This book adopts a dual approach, combining bar syllabus-based topics (highlighting key decisions of the bar chairpersons for the 2025 and 2026 bar examinations) with practice-oriented subjects. This approach aims to equip readers for success in their academic and professional pursuits. To familiarize bar examinees with potential questions, I have included selected bar examination questions from 2004 to 2024, along with my suggested answers. Additionally, this book incorporates the latest laws and cases to ensure readers stay up-to-date.

Law on Corporate Securities
₱1,880.00This humble work has a two-fold purpose: the first one is a bit of nostalgia for both of us, when we used to work with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which laid the basis of our understanding and knowledge on Corporation and Securities Law. We were blessed and benefited by our stints with the SEC that this is a way to express our gratitude and to translate our experience into this book on corporate securities.
The second purpose, on the other hand, is the ultimate reason on writing this book on Corporate Securities. The student of law may be quite intimidated by the concept of Securities Regulation, considering that the concepts involved here are technical and statistical (particularly actuarial) in nature. Likewise, the layman is exposed in the trading of securities, and most of the time, is unwary of the risks and legalities in their investments in which their purpose is to gain profits may be jeopardized by their lack of legal knowledge before dealing with securities transactions.

Constitutional Law: The State and Branches of Government
₱1,980.00This timely revision includes the latest doctrine and jurisprudence in this particular work on the State and Branches of Government not encompassed in the first edition.

IUS GENTIUM: Notes in Public International Law
₱980.00Increasing relations between States — whether military alliances, economic partnerships and other links — have made rules of a transnational, international character indispensable. The rise of legal regimes — the World Trade Organization, the community law of the European Union, the whole regime of international criminal law — are three of many examples. There is also no doubt that the institutions of international law have become prominent. In the Philippines, the investigation of former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte by the International Criminal Court in connection with the ruthless “war on drugs” during his administration has brought the Court to the attention of many Filipinos. The Arbitral Award that gave the Philippines a resounding victory of the Peoples Republic of China have also initiated many Filipinos to the workings of dispute resolution under the Convention on the Law of the Sea. The laudable decision of Finland and Sweden to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization despite Russia’s saber-rattling, and the willingness of the European Union to consider the membership of Georgia highlight the prominence of new forms of international legal personality.

A Handbook on the Fundamentals of Eminent Domain
₱1,080.00The 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.
