DAYEdalera

The Boss was really amazing. I haven’t met a person as superb as him, when it comes to law and things personal.

To answer your WHY?’s here is a recital of how the Boss awed me today:

First, I was reading the whole day a heinous crime case and was really confused on how to dispose of the ‘issues’ raised on appeal. Nearly 4pm when I seek the opinion of our judicial staff head, I was successful to get her confused too, that is why both of us were arguing as to how to dispose of the case. The Boss butted in and listened to our discussion, and then he simply stated a 10-15 sentence explanation on how the issue shall be discussed. The Boss was absolutely correct and he thought of it instant. Wow! that was quick. It ends up with me and our staff head admiring the sharp reasoning of the Boss.

Second, I haven’t told the Boss yet of a recent career development, I am suppose to tell him tomorrow when he is already on a weekend mood, but to my surprise I guess he felt I am concealing something from him that when he had the opportunity, I was cornered and he was able to get a confession. Thank God, somebody called at his cellphone that our conversation was cut short and I am given ample time to think of what to say correctly.

Third, I don’t know how he really manages stress, I guess more than his cigar and his beanie stress ball, he has some unique laughing hormones that make his smile show the wonders of a school-boy smile.

I wish to be like him someday. Sharp, Perceptive and always Happy.

Its only midweek and I felt exhaustion already. My work has become “by the minute” that before I can actually take a deep breath after I accomplish something, another pile of things to do is before me. I don’t know if my stress tolerance lowered or should I say that some worries keep me from my ordinary focus.

Anyway, I hope things will work for me better by tomorrow.

I guess my today's virtue is courage. I am swimming against the current and I am loving it. I never felt so much freedom like this before, the freedom to decide certainly on an uncertainty.

I am will-powered, I am brave, I am a deviant, but today I prefer to call myself COURAGEOUS.

“GRAB IT!” That is what the council of elders told me. Hmmm, had they known that my present state of being beholden to many people makes it the most difficult decision I have to make, probably, they will be saying “Think about it many times.”

I am making a decision this weekend and I am praying my decision will be right.

If I grab it, I might be losing more, but as Nysa told me earlier “How would you know?”

I still have three days. May the force be with me.

A. The right of legation. Also known as the right of diplomatic intercourse, this refers to the right of the State to send and receive diplomatic missions, which enables States to carry on friendly intercourse. It is not a natural or inherent right, but exists only by common consent. No legal liability is incurred by the State for refusing to send or receive diplomatic representatives. Governed by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961).

1. Agents of Diplomatic Intercourse.

a) Head of State. He is the embodiment of, and represents, the sovereignty of the State, and enjoys the right to special protection for his physical safety and the preservation of his honor and reputation. His quarters, archives, property and means of transportation are inviolate under the principle of exterritoriality. He is immune from criminal and civil jurisdiction, except when he himself is the plaintiff, and is not subject to tax or exchange or currency restrictions. See Mighell v. Sultan of Johore, supra..

b) The Foreign Office. The actual day-to-day conduct of foreign affairs is usually entrusted to a Foreign Office, headed by a Secretary or a Minister, who, in proper cases, may make binding declarations on behalf of his government [Legal Status of Eastern Greenland].

2. Establishment of Resident Missions. States carry on diplomatic intercourse through permanent missions established in the capitals of other States. The mission is composed of:

a) Head of Mission. The Vienna Convention classifies the heads of mission into:

i) Ambassadors or nuncios accredited to Heads of State, and other heads of mission of equivalent rank;
ii) Envoys, ministers and internuncios, accredited to Heads of State; and
iii) Charges d’affaires, accredited to Ministers of Foreign Affairs.

b) Diplomatic Staff, composed of those engaged in diplomatic activities and are accorded diplomatic rank.

c) Administrative and Technical Staff, consisting of those employed in the administrative and technical service of the mission.

d) Service Staff, i.e., those engaged in the domestic service of the mission.

3. The Diplomatic Corps. According to custom, all diplomatic envoys accredited to the same State form a body known as the “Diplomatic Corps”. The doyen or head of this body is usually the Papal Nuncio, if there is one, or the oldest ambassador, or, in the absence of ambassadors, the oldest minister plenipotentiary.

4. Appointment of Envoys. In the Philippines, it is the President who appoints [Sec. 16, Art. VII, Philippine Constitution], sends and instructs the diplomatic and consular representatives, and his prerogative to determine the assignment of the country’s diplomatic representatives cannot be questioned [De Perio-Santos v. Macaraig, G.R. No. 94070, April 10, 1992].

a) The sending State is not absolutely free in the choice of its diplomatic representatives, especially heads of mission, because the receiving State has the right to refuse to receive as envoy of another State a person whom it considers unacceptable. To avoid embarrassment, States resort to an informal inquiry [enquiry] as to the acceptability of a particular envoy, to which the receiving State responds with an informal conformity [agrement]. This informal process is known as agreation.

b) With the informal process concluded, the diplomatic mission then commences when the envoy presents himself at the receiving State, generally armed with the following papers: (i) Lettre de creance (letter of credence), with the name, rank and general character of the mission, and a request for favorable reception and full credence; (ii) diplomatic passport authorizing his travel; (iii) instructions, which may include a document of full powers (pleins pouvoirs] authorizing him to negotiate on extraordinary or special business; and (iv) cipher, or code or secret key, for communications with his country.

5. Functions and duties. The main functions of a diplomatic mission are: a) representing the sending State in the receiving State; b) Protecting in the receiving State the interests of the sending State and its nationals, within the limits allowed by international law; c) negotiating with the government of the receiving State; d) ascertaining, by all lawful means, the conditions and developments in the receiving State and reporting these to the sending State; and e) promoting friendly relations between the sending State and the receiving State, and developing their economic, cultural and scientific relations.

6. Diplomatic immunities and privileges. Except as provided below, the following diplomatic immunities and privileges shall be enjoyed by the envoy and the members of the diplomatic retinue, i.e., the administrative and technical staff.

a) Personal inviolability. The person of the diplomatic representative is inviolable; he shall not be liable to any form of arrest or detention. The receiving State shall treat him with due respect and take all steps to prevent any attack on his person, freedom or dignity. In the Philippines, R.A. 75 punishes, on the basis of reciprocity, any person who assaults, strikes, wounds, offers violence to the person of the ambassador or minister (except if done in self-defense). The UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes Against Internationally Protected Persons considers crimes against diplomatic agents as international, not political, in nature. However, the diplomatic envoy may be arrested temporarily in case of urgent danger, such as when he commits an act of violence which makes it necessary to put him under restraint for the purpose of preventing similar acts; but he must be released and sent home in due time.

b) Inviolability of premises and archives. The premises occupied by a diplomatic mission, as well as the private residence of the diplomatic agent, are inviolable. The agents of the receiving State may not enter without the consent of the envoy, except in extreme cases of necessity, e.g., when the premises are on fire, or where there is imminent danger that a crime of violence is to be perpetrated in the premises. Such premises cannot be entered or searched, and neither can the goods, records and archives be detained by local authorities even under process of law.

i) The service of writs, summons, orders or processes within the premises of the mission or residence of the envoy is prohibited. Even if a criminal takes refuge within the premises, the peace officers cannot break into such premises for the purpose of apprehending him. The fugitive should, however, be surrendered upon demand by local authorities, except when the right of asylum exists. But if it is the ambassador himself who requests local police assistance, this privilege cannot be invoked [Fatemi v. U.S.].

ii) The Vienna Convention provides that the receiving State has the special duty to protect diplomatic premises against invasion, damage, or any act tending to disrupt the peace and dignity of the mission. However, in Reyes v. Bagatsing, 125 SCRA 553, the Supreme Court held as invalid the denial by the Mayor of the application for a permit to hold a public assembly in front of the U.S. Embassy, there being no showing of a clear and present danger that might arise as a result of such a rally.

iii) The premises of the mission, their furnishings and other property thereon, and the means of transport of the mission shall be immune from search, requisition, attachment or execution. Inviolability also extends to the archives, documents, papers and correspondence of the mission at all times and wherever they may be, and the receiving State has the duty to respect and protect their confidential character.

iv) Unless the right is recognized by treaty or by local usage, an envoy should not permit the premises of his mission or his residence to be used as a place of asylum for fugitives from justice. An envoy may, however, in the interests of humanity, afford temporary shelter to persons in imminent peril of their lives, such as those fleeing from mob violence.

c) Right of official communication. The right of an envoy to communicate with his government fully and freely is universally recognized. The mission may employ all appropriate means to send and receive messages, whether ordinary or in cipher, by any of the usual modes of communication or by means of diplomatic couriers. Because of this right, the diplomatic pouch and diplomatic couriers shall also enjoy inviolability.

d) Immunity from local jurisdiction. Under the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, a diplomatic agent shall enjoy immunity from criminal jurisdiction of the receiving State. Thus, he cannot be arrested, prosecuted and punished for any offense he may commit, unless his immunity is waived. But immunity from jurisdiction does not mean exemption from local law; it does not presuppose a right to violate the laws of the receiving State. Diplomatic privilege does not import immunity from legal liability but only exemption from local jurisdiction [Dickinson v. Del Solar, 1 K.B. 376].

i) The diplomatic agent also enjoys immunity from the civil and administrative jurisdiction of the receiving State, and thus, no civil action of any kind may be brought against him, even with respect to matters concerning his private life. As a rule, his properties are not subject to garnishment, seizure for debt, execution and the like, except in the following cases: a) any real action relating to private immovable property situated in the territory of the receiving State, unless the envoy holds it on behalf of the sending State for the purposes of the mission; b) an action relating to succession in which the diplomatic agent is involved as executor, administrator, heir or legatee as a private person and not on behalf of the sending State; and c) an action relating to any professional or commercial activity exercised by the diplomatic agent in the receiving State outside his official functions.

ii) This immunity also means that the diplomatic agent cannot be compelled to testify, not even by deposition, without the consent of his government, before any judicial or administrative tribunal in the receiving State.

iii) However, see Minucher v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 97765, September 24, 1992, where the Supreme Court held that the act of private respondent Drug Enforcement Agent of the U.S. in the frame-up of petitioner was unauthorized and could not be considered performed in the discharge of official functions, despite a belated diplomatic note from the US Embassy; thus, suit against the private respondent was upheld, being a suit against him in his personal and private capacity. See also Shauf v. Court of Appeals, 191 SCRA 713, where it was held that the immunity does not protect a public official who commits unauthorized acts, inasmuch as such unauthorized acts are not acts of State. Accordingly, he may be sued for such unlawful acts in his private capacity.

iv) Subject to the rule on reciprocity, Republic Act No. 75 declares as void any writ or process issued out or prosecuted by any person in any court of the Philippines, or by any judge or justice, whereby the person of any ambassador or public minister of any foreign State, authorized and received as such by the President, or any domestic servant of any such ambassador or minister, is arrested or imprisoned, or his goods or chattels distrained, seized or attached; and penalties are imposed for violation of this provision. However, this privilege is not granted to: [a] citizens/inhabitants of the Philippines, where the process is founded upon a debt contracted before his employment in the diplomatic service; and [b] domestic servants of the ambassador or minister whose names are not registered with the Department of Foreign Affairs.

v) As part of the envoy’s immunity from local jurisdiction, the children born to him while he possesses diplomatic status are regarded as born in the territory of his home State.

e) Exemption from taxes and customs duties. Under the Vienna Convention, diplomatic agents are exempt from all dues and taxes, whether personal or real, national, regional or municipal, except the following: [i] indirect taxes normally incorporated in the price of goods or services; [ii] dues and taxes on private immovable property situated in the territory of the receiving State, unless he holds it on behalf of the sending State for purposes of the mission; [iii] estate, succession or inheritance taxes levied by the receiving State; [iv] dues and taxes on private income having its source in the receiving State and capital taxes on investments in commercial ventures in the receiving State; [v] charges levied for specific services rendered; and [vi] registration, court or record fees, mortgage dues and stamp duty, with respect to immovable property.

i) The Vienna Convention also provides for exemption from all customs duties and taxes of articles for the official use of the mission and those for the personal use of the envoy or members of the family forming part of his household, including articles intended for his establishment. Baggage and effects are entitled to free entry and, normally, exempt from inspection; articles addressed to ambassadors, ministers, charge d’affaires are also exempt from customs inspection.

f) Other privileges, which include freedom of movement and travel in the territory of the receiving State; exemption from all personal services and military obligations; the use of the flag and emblem of the sending State on the diplomatic premises and the residence and means of transport of the head of mission.

7. Duration of immunities/privileges. The privileges are enjoyed by the envoy from the moment he enters the territory of the receiving State, and shall cease only the moment he leaves the country, or on expiry of a reasonable time in which to do so; although with respect to official acts, immunity shall continue indefinitely. These privileges are available even in transitu, when traveling through a third State on the way to or from the receiving State.

8. Waiver of immunities. Diplomatic privileges may be waived, but as a rule, the waiver cannot be made by the individual concerned since such immunities are not personal to him. Waiver may be made only by the government of the sending State if it concerns the immunities of the head of mission; in other cases, the waiver may be made either by the government or by the chief of mission. Waiver of this privilege, however, does not include waiver of the immunity in respect of the execution of judgment; a separate waiver for the latter is necessary.

9. Termination of diplomatic mission. The usual modes of terminating official relations, such as death, resignation, removal or abolition of office, will terminate the diplomatic mission. Other modes are recall by the sending State, dismissal by the receiving State, war between the receiving and the sending States, or the extinction of the State.

B. Consular Relations. Consuls are State agents residing abroad for various purposes but mainly in the interest of commerce and navigation.

1. Kinds of Consuls:

a) Consules missi are professional and career consuls, and nationals of the appointing state.
b) Consules electi are selected by the appointing state either from its own citizens or from among nationals abroad.

2. Ranks:

a) Consul General, who heads several consular districts, or one exceptionally large consular district.
b) Consul, who takes charge of a small district or town or port
c) Vice Consul, who assists the consul
d) Consular agent, who is usually entrusted with the performance of certain functions by the consul.

3. Appointment. Two important documents are necessary before the assumption of consular functions, namely:

a) Letters patent [lettre de provision], which is the letter of appointment or commission which is transmitted by the sending state to the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the country where the consul is to serve; and

b) Exequatur, which is the authorization given to the consul by the sovereign of the receiving state, allowing him to exercise his function within the territory.

4. Functions. Generally, the functions pertain to commerce and navigation, issuance of visa (permit to visit his country), and such as are designed to protect nationals of the appointing state.

5. Immunities and privileges. Under the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, consuls are allowed freedom of communication in cipher or otherwise; inviolability of archives, but not of the premises where legal processes may be served and arrests made; exempt from local jurisdiction for offenses committed in the discharge of official functions, but not other offenses except minor infractions; exempt from testifying on official communications or on matters pertaining to consular functions; exempt from taxes, customs duties, military or jury service; and may display their national flag and emblem in the consulate.

a) These immunities and privileges are also available to the members of the consular post, their families and their private staff. Waiver of immunities may be made by the appointing state.

6. Termination of consular mission. Usual modes of terminating official relationship; withdrawal of the exequatur; extinction of the state; war.

a) Severance of consular relations does not necessarily terminate diplomatic relations.

Effective today, I am a MEMBER OF THE BAR-IN GOOD STANDING. I paid my 2009 Membership Dues as required by the Canons.

Only if I have the fortune to pay for a 'Lifetime Membership Fee' (that btw cost more or less my half-month net salary), I will.

I guess at this moment I should prepare my next year's preference of payment schedule.

Aha! At least for now, I am a member in good standing! ;)

to tell you a super extremely interesting story BUT NOT NOW, maybe until Im done telling it to the persons concerned, really concerned. ;)

I used to write a gratitude journal during my birthdays, to thank the special persons who have added colors and flavors in my life. But since Obama wants change, and so do I, I am not repeating a list of the persons I am most grateful of but instead will be counting my blessings;

1. I am blessed by having the greatest parents on earth. Conrado, a Dad who provides for everything he knew I need and scolds me when I overspend. Flor, a Mom with hands of an angel and cook so well with love.

2. I am blessed because I have two (2) siblings who illuminate the adversities of dreaming high and the satisfaction of achieving it. Kuya Extee and Ate Kaye, they were doctors who can heal not just any disease but are best in healing my broken pride and hurting heart, hopefully, sooner they can make me as hot as Angelina Jolie. ;)

3. I am blessed with an almost perfect set of relatives, save for some family dramas.

4. I am blessed with a ‘simpatiko’ driver, consoler, housekeeper, who perform related duties as assigned (my boyfriend's job description) and who pays me with free dinner, movies, occasional gifts and who profess his love for me at the end of the day.

5. I am blessed with the most funny of friends who never fail to solicit my smile, at most during my trying times.

6. I am blessed with a good job in the government service and in the academe which gives me the means to pay my apartment, give a little to my lolas, pay for some house expenses and save some amount for the rainy days +++++ the very best BOSSes on earth.

7. I am blessed because I am a member of the most respected political party who envision my hope for this country. I am blessed to have met the youth power enthusiasts of KALIPI.

8. I am blessed because I am a lawyer with lots of pro bono clients, who even if I am not representing in court, have confidence to seek my legal opinion. (Hopefully, when I leave the judiciary, I can be their counsel of record too.)

9. I am blessed because I am a teacher. I have the opportunity to touch lives and till the minds of the future leaders of our country.

10. I am blessed because I’m still alive and though I’m getting older, I still look young and will stay young-at-heart.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MYSELF. =)

Last Monday I returned to work, I’m back at the SC and with the usual work.

Yeah! I must admit after 11 days of not working, it was difficult to get the energy to draft decisions again for the Boss, to read cases again and to prepare agenda for next week’s hearing session, but I love my job though its routinely nature prevents my dynamic self still I love it.

When I received two (2) new cases for agenda due on JANUARY 12 session (that’s my birthday, btw) my mind went to wonderland with the question:

“WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN IF….”

A. I continued my plan of leaving SC and joined the Makati-based Law Firm

Probably, I missed the 11 days vacation and partying because I am busy browsing my Remedial law books and notes and other stuffs, that I may be able to appear knowledgeable in Rules of Court when any Senior Partner would throw me an on-the-spot question.

Most likely, I wasn’t able to give gifts for relatives and friends, et.al. because I missed the benefits due to a government civil servant especially on December.

Further, I might have been started my year on January 2 at work.

B. The Boss was not able to find out sooner that I wasn’t able to pursue signing the Contract of Services with the firm

Surely, I will not tell him that fact and vacate my post by December 24, 2008 and start hunting for a new job and tighten the budget so that my savings will last until I found a new job.

C. I started my work at the Firm on January 2, 2009.

Gosh! Could have been me celebrating my birthday inside the Court attending a hearing just for postponement, driving around the city and meeting clients, or worst drafting pleadings until the wee hours of January 13.

Suddenly, I heard the Boss called “Daye….” And I’m back to reality.

He told me, he need additional updates for the book and he asked me to prepare his MCLE lecture materials and told me our office will be having a team-building seminar by May 2009 in Marabut, Samar.

Now, as I stroll in wonderland again the question I am pondering is:

“WHAT MIGHT THAT MEAN, WHAT COULD THAT MEAN?”
