Civil Law is a Journey: The Guide
We do not, by this work, pretend to be great civilists like Justices J.B.L. Reyes, Jose Vitug, and Eduardo Caguioa, let alone the teacher of us all, Dr. Arturo Tolentino. We just want to present the law in an understandable manner. We do not want this work to be treated as a substitute for the extensive commentaries of the great civilists we honor. Neither is this book intended to guess bar exam questions.

Special Penal Laws: Concepts and Jurisprudence (Volume 1)
This is the third issuance of this book since its maiden publication. The last revision was made in 2021- right after the lifting of the Covid virus pandemic. Since then, the Supreme Court had promulgated numerous rulings on special penal laws. These decisions have strong impact upon members of the legal profession and the law students as well. For instance, the guidelines in determining discernment under R.A. No. 9344 have already been laid down in an En Banc decision of CICLXXX v. People (2023). The rules on plea bargaining in drug cases under R.A. No. 9165 were discussed in People v. Montierro (2022) and reiterated in Aquino v. People and People v. Lo (2025). In addition to these landmark rulings, the Court also rendered a barrage of cases on Trafficking-in-Person Act (R.A. No. 9028, as amended). For the first time, the Court had rendered a decision on the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act (R.A. No. 9995) in the case of XXX261049 v. People (2023).
