The Ultimate Philippine Labor Relations Compendium (Volume 2)
This book is largely an analysis and criticque of the present Labor Relations legal framework, which is heavily copied from the US model of compulsory arbitration, and is essentially confrontational, adversarial, legalistic and dilatory.

Special Rules of Procedure Governing Philippine Shari’a Courts Annotated
The amendments of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure by the Supreme Court of the Philippines effective May 1, 2020 and the passage of Republic Act No. 11054 otherwise known as the Bangsamoro Organic Law call for the revision of this humble work. There were substantial changes in the rules of pleading and in the jurisdiction of the Shari’a courts brought about such issuances. In addition, I have expanded the annotations of the Special Rules to minimize the reader’s effort in referring back to the provisions of the Rules of Court.

The citations are enriched with more than a thousand cases from the last two decades to aid the reader for further research and to ensure that relevant rules and procedural principles cited are still good.
