Evicted? Don’t panic. Know the process.
Landlords must follow lawful procedures under the Civil Code and special laws. This means written notice and a court order, not intimidation or forced entry.

Facing a rent increase? Know your rights! If your unit is covered by the Rent Control Act, your landlord can only raise your rent by up to 7% per year, with at least 12 months between increases and they must give proper written notice. Always double-check if your rental is protected and don’t be afraid to ask questions!

For any doubts or disputes, consult a legal professional to protect your rights.

A lease isn’t just paperwork. It’s a legal roadmap that defines who’s responsible for what, how rent and repairs are handled, what happens in emergencies, and how either party can exit the deal. When these things are unclear, disputes follow—and they can get expensive.
Understanding your rental agreement protects both sides. Lessees know their rights, Lessors prevent liability, and everyone avoids unpleasant surprises.

Whether you're a lessor or a lessee, understanding your lease is key to protecting your interests. If you need clarity or guidance, we’re here to help. Let’s make sure your rental agreements work for you, not against you.

This month’s lawyers’ meeting took us outside the office. A shift in space that made room for deeper conversations, honest reflection, and shared direction.

Our meetings aren’t just about updates and to-do’s. They’re built on collaboration,
inclusion, and exchange — where everyone, from associates to partners, has space to contribute, question, and grow. It’s a culture we value deeply and intentionally enforce in how we work and lead.

The firm continues to evolve, and with it, so do we — finding clarity, meaning, and momentum in shared goals and grounded conversations.

You worked hard on your creation.
So why is someone else using it like it’s theirs? What can you do when someone uses your work without permission? 👀

Don’t let “libre na lang” be the default.
Protect your work. Protect your worth.

If you’re a creative, your work has value. When someone asks you to design, write, or shoot for free, they’re not only disrespecting your craft—they might also be violating the law.
Under the Intellectual Property Code, your work is protected the moment it’s created. Don’t work for exposure. Protect your ideas, and get the compensation you deserve.

As tradition, AJA Law celebrated its 4th Anniversary with another meaningful collaboration to kickstart this Christmas season. Together with CANVAS, we brought the magic of stories and the gift of learning to the remarkable children of Tuloy Foundation.

Our deepest gratitude goes to CANVAS for their incredible books, which weave hope and imagination into every page, and to Tuloy Foundation for their dedication to shaping bright futures for these young hearts. This holiday season, we’re reminded that the most meaningful gifts are those that uplift, inspire, and transform lives.

On 15 November 2024, AJA Law, in partnership with CANVAS (@canvasph.art), continued our advocacy for education and creativity by donating books to Tuloy Foundation.

We had the privilege of reading Karapat Dapat with the children—a beautifully illustrated book introducing the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child. The book’s message of rights, dignity, and hope resonated in every page, sparking meaningful conversations with the young readers about their dreams and aspirations which was both humbling and inspiring.

It was an honor to play even a small part in their journey toward a brighter future. This experience reminded us of the power of storytelling and the profound impact of small acts of kindness in shaping young lives.

AJA Law teamed up with CANVAS (@canvasph.art) and their inspiring One Million Books for One Million Filipino Children campaign to celebrate our 4th Anniversary. The first chapter of this meaningful two-part initiative began with a visit to San Isidro Elementary School, where we contributed books to enrich their library and cultivate a lifelong love for learning among the students.

The event was not just about donating books— it was a poignant reminder of why we do what we do. As lawyers, we often focus on words written in books of law, but this event reminded us that the most powerful words are the ones that ignite a child’s imagination, broaden their horizons, and spark their dreams. Handing over these books wasn’t just an act of giving—it was a chance to plant seeds of curiosity and empowerment in young minds.

Article 282 of our Revised Penal Code treats grave threats seriously—protecting life, honor, and property of a person and their family. Our laws underscore the importance of protecting individuals from threats that may not yet involve actual violence but are still designed to instill fear, cause distress, or coerce someone into compliance. Learn more about how our laws safeguard us from intimidation and harm.
