LAWYERS ARE EXEMPT FROM PAYMENT OF BUSINESS PERMIT

Lawyering is a profession, not a business. Lawyers are public officers, not traders nor businessmen. Thus, lawyers are exempt from paying business permits.   When I started my first law office around year 2019, I tend to follow all the processes in our municipality. Being the first lawyer in our municipality, the accounting and licensing department were not yet familiar on the required permits, tax payments and other law office-related licensing. Thus, they just followed the usual process for business establishments and required me to pay a mayor/business permit fee. As a new lawyer who was still not confident of facing the real world outside of my law school classroom, I just paid all the required fees in our municipality in order for me to subsequently process for my BIR application requiring me also to present my mayor’s permit despite the fact that I already paid my Professional Tax.   However, during renewal of my mayor’s permit in January of 2020, I contest the business p

“I am a new lawyer and I don’t know what to do or where to start in my practice.” “I am used to being just a student bombarded with oral recitations, written exams and assignments.

Global warming : 1.Ano ang sanhi ng Global Warming at paano masusulusyonan? -Ang hindi normal na pagbabago sa panahon at ang sanhi ng pagtaas ng temperatura ay ang pagtaas ng greenhouse gas concentration kayaga ng carbon dioxide (CO2) methane at ozone. Ang greenhouse gas ay sanhi ng greenhouse effect na resulta sa pagsunog ng mga fossil fuels. Ang pagtaas ng temperatura ay nagdadala ng maraming pagbabago kagaya ng pagtaas ng levelo ng karagatan. Ito rin ang sanhi ng pagbaha, pagguho ng lupa at pagbagyo. Ang iba pang epekto ng global warming ay ang pagbaba ng mga produktong agrikultura,ang pagkatunaw ng glaciers at ang pagdami ng mga sakit kayaga ng malarya. Ang maipapayo ko na gawin ng bawat tao para unti unting masolusyunan ang global warming ay ang pagtapon ng basura sa tamang tapunan at hindi  sa mga ilog o dagat upang makaiwas sa pagbaha at pagtaas ng thermal na enerhiya sa dagat. Makatutulong rin ito upang iwasan ang pagkalason ng mga isda na sanhi ng basura. M

BOFFO vs VITA ISOLA

Image
The two resorts are located at Sandingan Island Loon Bohol and both offer relaxation and happiness in one’s heart and stomach. However, BOFFO is more affordable and budget-friendly than Vita Isola. BOFFO’s Entrance Fee is ₱200 (consumable for food - meaning the exact ₱200 can be added to your food cost), while Vita Isola Leisure Farm’s Entrance Fee is ₱500/per person - consumable for food. However in Vita Isola, take note that from mondays to saturdays the entire ₱500 will be used/added to your food cost but during sundays only ₱300 will be used or added to your food comsumption (so bye-bye ₱200). In terms of swimming experience, I was not able to use the pool & beach of BOFFO. I only had pool swimming at Vita Isola (day time) and we need to pay another amount for pool use (more or less ₱200/person) and another payment for the towels (more or less ₱100/towel) In terms of view and amenities, Vita Isola offer more attractions and fun activites than BOFFO.
