Breach of promise to marry is not an actionable wrong.  [De Jesus vs. Syquia, 58 Phil., 866] 

However, when for one whole year, the plaintiff, a woman of legal age, maintained sexual relations with the defendant, with repeated acts of intercourse, there is here voluntariness. No case under Article 21 is made.(APOLONIO TANJANCO vs. CA and ARACELI SANTOS,  GR. No. L-18630)

In some cases our Supreme Court in this wise held:

We cannot castigate a man for seeking out the partner of his dreams, for marriage is a sacred and perpetual bond which should be entered into because of love, not for any other reason. 

(PATRICIA FIGUEROA vs. SIMEON BARRANCO, JR. SBC Case No. 519 July 31, 1997)

One day I look for ways on how to preserve the young money trees. I decided to bonsai them and it looks good. Some were sold for an affordable price.

Bonsai is a Japanese art form using miniature trees grown in containers. Similar practices exist in other cultures, including the Chinese tradition of penjing from which the art originated, and the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese hòn non bộ. The Japanese tradition dates back over a thousand years, and has its own aesthetics and terminology.

The purposes of bonsai are primarily contemplation (for the viewer) and the pleasant exercise of effort and ingenuity (for the grower). By contrast with other plant cultivation practices, bonsai is not intended for production of food, for medicine, or for creating yard-size or park-size gardens or landscapes. Instead, bonsai practice focuses on long-term cultivation and shaping of one or more small trees growing in a container.

The doctrine provides that while as a general rule, every discreditable public imputation is false because every man is presumed innocent, thus every false imputation is deemed malicious, as an exception, when the discreditable imputation is directed against a public person in his public capacity, such is not necessarily actionable.

For it to be actionable, it must be shown that either there is a false allegation of fact or comment based on a false supposition. However, if the comment is an expression of opinion, based on established facts; it is immaterial whether the opinion happens to be mistaken, as long as it might reasonably be inferred from facts. (Borjal v. CA, G.R. No. 126466, Jan. 14, 1999)

This short video is quiet, profound, powerful, true, simple and supremely human. It was produced by the Cleveland Clinic, as an example of their regard for empathy. A profound reminder that we ALL have our own story… others have theirs…we never know. A wonderful message from the video

Last August 15, 2014, my family went to Cebu City to fetch our relative who just arrived from Australia for their month long vacation. Before we go to Cebu, we searched online for hotel promos and luckily we bumped into Castle Peak Hotel and grabbed the promo. I highly recommend online booking because of various promos in which you can save a lot.

When we arrived in Cebu City we immediately proceed to the said hotel and so amazed of their facilities and amenities considering the price we had paid. Their hotel crews were so accommodating and welcome you with much delight. Castle Peak Hotel is located along the streets of Mabolo, Cebu City, just 20 minutes away from the airport. The Hotel is situated near the city’s commercial shopping and business centers like Ayala Mall, SM Mall and IT Park.

The hotel is fully air conditioned with spacious rooms and has wide range of amenities which include but not limited to free wireless internet access (which I enjoyed a lot) and cable TV. You may also indulge yourself with refreshing drinks from the bar and palatable dishes from its restaurant. Its restaurant offers wide array of Cebu’s flavor which could satisfy your cravings.
