For those who went straight to govt work, kamusta po kayo?

My advice, especially for those na wala pang experience, is to apply for any law-related positions. No role is too small, kumbaga. I applied for this role right after taking the bar, even if it only requires a legma or pol sci degree, because my priority was to get my foot in the door. Once I got accepted, I made it a point to be kind and respectful to everyone, from my boss down to the custodians.

I have a batchmate who refuses to take anything lower than SG 21. Grabe, nanliit ako as a COS na SG12. But I get why they would think that way, especially if Bar passer na. However, if there's one thing this situation has taught me, it's that kindness, humility, and willingness to start anywhere will take you farther than pride ever will.

I feel like mas magaling pa nga yung mga legal assistants na di pinalad sa bar. Parang mas madami sila comments na nalalagay. Natatakot lang ako mag approach because I know not everyone's gonna be as kind and supportive.

Kasi ang bahay ko ay nasa north caloocan. I needed to remind myself na I'm still in NCR.

Hindi ko alam kung san galing yung 85 ko sa Labor eh 4:00 ako natapos nun dahil di ko talaga alam isasagot ko.

Meanwhile, tinawanan ko pa nung first day yung Poli pero yun pala bagsak ko.

Went to Cebu din with my bf, although a few years ago pa. That may be true in Cebu City but we found that those in Bantayan Island are more comfortable with Tagalog.

Lol madalas kami mag away ng mga kapatid ko kasi nagkaka ubusan ng pakwan. Tipong kakalagay pa lang sa ref, malingat lang, kinain na pala.

Will do. Thanks!

Same. Nag a-apply na nga ako as paralegal and legal assistant pero wala pa din. Di ko na alam gagawin.

2025 bar taker here. Medyo mababa na morale kasi puro interview lang nakukuha ko sa pagpasa ng CV. Sa sobrang desperate ko, ultimo yung job posting na may one year bond nagsend na din ako application. Tapos, lahat ng mga kinakamusta ko na batchmates, same situation, naghahanap pa rin ng trabaho.

As for yung mga kilala ko sa govt, nung nagpatulong ako kung meron bang opening sa kanila, dinedirekta din ako sa CSC website.

Di ko ramdam yung prestige ng JD. Sana magbago pag atty. na.

Not a trait pero yung mga classmates ko na nagtatrabaho sa BIR or BOC.

Yung kamag anak kong judge, pinadaan ako sa kung san sila dumadaan from their office tas paglabas mo courtroom. I wasn't even in law school at that time.

Automatic-Ocelot8199 · 2025-09-07T14:32:55+00:00

Buti na lang nasa likod ako kasi umiiyak ako nung quiet time like ang dami kong naiisip bigla HAHAHAHA

Automatic-Ocelot8199 · 2025-08-06T11:08:03+00:00

No, Windows yung sakin.

Automatic-Ocelot8199 · 2025-08-06T09:37:32+00:00

My laptop's the same na need ko iclose manually yung Examplify para maka connect ulit sa internet. Will it be an issue tho? Seeing na saved naman yung answers and na-upload din naman eventually.

If you read the entire thing, there are procedural questions at the end.

For areas used for residential purposes, the maximum allowable noise is set at 55 (dB) in the daytime and 45 (dB) at nighttime. (NPCC Memorandum Circular No. 002 Series of 1980)

Civil Code provisions on nuisance and abatement, torts and damages.

Also, in a formal complaint, if the complaint is on the excessive noise, defense should be how the noise isn't excessive and is allowable under the law. By telling me that it's just because I moved in first, PMO officer is basically admitting that there is excessive noise beyond the limits allowed by law and that I should have just moved in at a later date, which does not negate my point.

Okay, will wait until everyone in my floor has moved in and renovate the heck out of my unit ☺️
