Information Technology, Law, and Policy
Price range: ₱1,580.00 through ₱1,780.00This book began as a simple idea several years ago as the intersection of technology and the law caught my interest. I thought of writing an extensive article about such intersection. As my random materials about the subject grew, and as I started to slowly pour my thoughts into writing, the task began to look more and more impossible by the day: among others, I did not have the time to do what appeared to be an ambitious project; I was faced with a mountain. Then the pandemic came which “forced” me to find the time that seemed so elusive before. The idea of writing a book instead of an extensive article was born. Soon, I found myself spending more hours in front of my laptop: searching, reading, writing, and repeat. As fate would have it, I was privileged to be given the opportunity to pursue a masters’ degree in Information Technology and Intellectual Property Law at the University of East Anglia in United Kingdom under a Chevening scholarship. Apart from teaching the subject, private practice, and my own personal interests on the subject, the Chevening experience of living and studying in the UK admittedly took a significant part in shaping the final outcome of this book – an experience that the author would forever be grateful for.

Estate Planning Handbook
₱1,250.00In my profession, I have come across several people who are having problems with disposing certain properties which are still under the name of their long-deceased relative. The relative is usually a parent, a grandparent, an uncle, an aunt, or even a sibling. In other cases, I also encounter siblings quarrelling amongst themselves or even with their surviving parent. Such situations are truly heartbreaking to say the least. These kinds of problems usually arise due to the failure of the surviving relatives, who are more often than not the legal heirs, to pay the necessary estate tax and settle the estate of the decedent. However, are the heirs the only ones to blame? Definitely not. The decedent, while living, likewise has a part, if not more parts, to play in ensuring that his descendants or heirs do not have a difficult time in acquiring the inheritance he had left for them to enjoy. Now, this is where sound estate planning comes in.

As a separate subject in the study of law or in any other related discipline, less attention have been given to this area.
