Public International Law
₱1,880.00Regardless if we started from the old era of empires or when peace was obtained in Westphalia in 1648, International Law has evolved since into these set of principles and customs that over time, were accepted not only by a single civilization, but that of the community of nations – later on becoming the collective description of the Law of Nations. As of this writing, International Law provided, and still provides, the enduring set of legal principles and norms for the maintenance of the justice and balance of relationships between and among States. While there are opportunities to change particular established principles and norms over time, most of the issues, conflicts and disputes among States are resolved with the traditions and formalities that also endured over time. Similarly, the traditions of these principles and norms within State policies and practices, such as sovereign immunities and privileges among States and pacta sunt servanda, still remain as a time-tested and enduring practice among States.

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. These recent decisions touched upon the delegation of emergency powers, dual citizenship, immunity from suits in relation to international organizations, limitations imposed upon congressional investigations, electoral qualifications, and presidential amnesties, among others. The author also included a new chapter on National Economy and Patrimony, which deserves a separate and distinct discussion of its own.

Review and Observations in Philippine Political Law
₱1,980.00I have my reluctance and reservation in writing this book encompassing the entirety of Political Law, with the notion that bar reviewers are of abundance these days. However, my view changed after the release of my revised edition of my Constitutional Law: The Fundamental Powers of the State and Bill of Rights, when I learned from fourth year law students that they are awaiting the aforesaid book for his Political Law Review subject. It then dawned to me the need for a compendium on Political Law for the law student, bar reviewer, and the legal practitioner.

Constitutional Law: The Fundamental Powers of the State and Bill of Rights
₱1,980.00Since this humble work on Constitutional Law was first introduced in 2022, a lot of doctrines have been modified and/or clarified, among others, the MMDA in relation to police power and eminent domain; clarification on the issuance of administrative warrants by the Bureau of Immigration and deportation; and the introduction and application of the imminent lawless action test on cases involving freedom of expression. Thus, it is necessary to revise and update this work. I also took the time to adjust and correct the layout of the chapters, providing an optimal reading experience for the student and advocate of Constitutional Law.

Annotations and Jurisprudence on Criminal Procedure
₱1,560.00Consequently and after writing my recent book on Evidence, I was emboldened to follow this up with Criminal Procedure. As I have been doing litigation since I was admitted to the Bar in 2010, plus the prior years where I worked as paralegal and researcher, I want to reduce some of my knowledge and experience in writing, for me to share my thoughts and views on practice and pleadings for the student of the law and legal practitioners.

Administrative Law
₱1,260.00Administrative Law has always been at the sidewalks in the streets of Political Law. As a separate subject in the study of law or in any other related discipline, less attention have been given to this area. Unknown to many, this field of law is as important as the branches of civil, criminal, commercial, or remedial law. This lay down the protocols, rules, and the procedural law of public administration. Many have not seen its significance because these are being practiced from within the organizational structure of the government. It does not generally apply to private individuals unless to the extent that liability attaches to the cohorts of public officers, and other exceptional circumstances.

The Law on Public Officers
₱1,450.00While the general notion of Public Office is that of public trust, a much nuanced understanding of legal concepts is necessary to further understand the over-all functions of Public Office and the roles and actions of the Public Officer, from appointment or election, the commencement of official relations, the duties and responsibilities appurtenant to the office, and up to the cessation of official relations.
