Ika-26 ng Enero 2021

MICHAEL ANDREW SEMBRANO                                        

Ito ay may kaugnayan sa inyong liham na may petsang ika-6 ng Enero 2021, na humihingi ng payong legal.
 
Sa pagkakataong ito, nais naming ipaalam sa inyo na mas makabubuti na kayo ay dumulog sa Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). Ang nasabing kagawaran ang sangay ng ating pamahalaan na siyang makatutugon sa inyong isinasangguni. Maaari kayong magtungo sa kanilang tanggapan sa A. Mabini Street, cor. P. Ocampo Street, Malate, Manila.  Maaari rin kayong tumawag sa kanilang mga numero sa 8708-7701 o bisitahin ang kanilang website sa https://www.bsp.gov.ph sapagkat sila ang nakababatid sa mga bagay na may kaugnayan sa inyong suliranin.

Subalit, kung kailanganin ninyo ang serbisyo ng isang abogado, maaari rin kayong matulungan ng aming Tanggapan kung inyong mapatutunayan na kayo ay kuwalipikadong makatanggap ng aming libreng serbisyong legal.

Ang mga kuwalipikasyon bago matanggap bilang kliyente ng PAO ay ang Indigency at Merit Tests alinsunod sa Republic Act No. 9406, o ang PAO Law, kaugnay sa 2016 Revised PAO Operations Manual.

Para sa Indigency Test, kinakailangan na ang kaniyang individual net income ay hindi hihigit sa mga sumusunod:

“1. If residing in Metro Manila, whose individual net income does not exceed ₱14,000.00 a month;

2. If residing in other cities, whose individual net income does not exceed ₱13,000.00 a month; and

 3. If residing in all other places, whose individual net income does not exceed ₱12,000.00 a month.”

The term “income” shall not include the pension received by retirees.

The term “net income” as herein employed shall be understood to refer to the income of the litigant less statutory and authorized deductions.

“Statutory deductions” shall refer to withholding taxes, GSIS, SSS, Pag-Ibig, Health Insurance and Philhealth premiums; and other loan amortizations duly supported by written contracts. 

“Authorized deductions” shall be understood to include all deductions as reflected in the pay slip, other deductions with the expressed written consent of the employee and in agreement with the employer, and all other deductions that can be substantiated by the employee.

          For purposes of this Section, ownership of land shall not, per se, constitute a ground for disqualification of an applicant for free legal assistance, in view of the ruling in Juan Enaje vs. Victorio Ramos, et al.[1] that the determinative factor for indigency is the income of the litigant and not his ownership of real property.[2]


Upang makasiguro na tanging ang mga kuwalipikadong kliyente lamang ang siyang mabibigyan ng aming libreng serbisyong legal, kinakailangan na kayo ay magsumite ng Affidavit of Indigency at ng alinman sa mga sumusunod:

  “1. Latest Income Tax Return or pay slip or other proofs of income; or 

2.  Certificate of Indigency from the Department of Social Welfare and Development, its local District Office, or the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office of the place where you are residing; or

3. Certificate of Indigency from the Barangay Chairman having jurisdiction over your place of residence.”

 

PAO lawyers and personnel shall exercise diligence in ascertaining the indigency qualification of said applicant/s.[3]

Samantala, ang Merit Test naman ay ang pagsusuri sa tibay ng inyong kaso base sa mga ebidensya at sa mga itinakda ng ating batas.[4]

Kung kayo ay kuwalipikado para sa aming libreng serbisyong legal alinsunod sa mga batayan na nabanggit sa itaas, maaari kayong magtungo sa aming Tanggapan na kadalasang matatagpuan sa Hall of Justice ng bawat siyudad o munisipalidad na malapit sa inyong tirahan. Dalhin ang mga dokumentong may kaugnayan sa inyong suliranin at alinmang katibayan para sa inyong Indigency Test. 

Maaari rin namin kayong mabigyan ng agarang legal na payo bilang parte ng aming instant services kung kayo ay tatawag sa aming Tanggapan sa mga numerong 8929-9436,  84262801, 84262450, or 84262987, upang inyong ma-detalye ang inyong suliranin at kayo ay makausap ng isa (1) sa aming mga abogado, na siyang magsisilbing Officer-of-the-Day.

Maraming salamat sa iyong pagliham.
