This work is not intended for sale or commerce. This work is freeware. It may be freely
copied and distributed, nevertheless, PERMISSION TO COPY from the editors is
ADVISABLE to protect the interest of the ORIGINAL SOURCES/REFERENCES of this
material…. It is primarily intended for all those who desire to have a deeper understanding
of the issues touched by the Philippine Bar Examinations and its trend. It is specially
intended for law students from the provinces who, very often, are recipients of deliberately
distorted notes from other unscrupulous law schools and students. Share to others this work
and you will be richly rewarded by God in heaven. It is also very good karma.
We would like to seek the indulgence of the reader for some Bar Questions which are
improperly classified under a topic and for some topics which are improperly or ignorantly
phrased, for the authors are just Bar Reviewees who have prepared this work while
reviewing for the Bar Exams under time constraints and within their limited knowledge of the
law. We would like to seek the reader’s indulgence for a lot of typographical errors in this
work.
