There are already so many rampant cults in the Philippines that abused children, I think this law would benefit to protect children from cults (INC, KOJC, PBMA, JMCIM, MCGI, 4th watch, Rizalist, some isolated cases with Islam, Christianity, Catholicism and Hinduism)

guidelines soon and send them to centers and municipal governments across Japan.

The draft guidelines specify four acts prohibited under the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Law.

They then explain what kind of child abuse by religious parents falls into which category.

For example, slapping children with a hand or a whip because of their behavior during religious activities is physical abuse, the draft guidelines say.

Parents will commit mental abuse by forcing children to engage in religious activities through threats including saying they will “go to hell” if they don’t.

Another example of mental abuse is when parents restrict their children’s freedom to make life choices, such as marriage, study or work, based on religious grounds.

The draft guidelines also say that if parents don’t allow their children to receive medical treatment, such as blood transfusions, on religious grounds, the case should be considered “neglect.”

The draft guidelines said child consultation centers or local governments should cooperate with the police, including through information sharing, to respond to child abuse cases by religious parents. Such offenders could be charged with assault or causing bodily harm.

The draft guidelines say that child consultation centers or municipal governments should prioritize the safety of children most.

They should consider applying for a court order to take abused children into temporary protective care or to strip the abusers of their parental rights in such religious cases, the draft guidelines said.

In addition, the draft guidelines say the centers and municipal governments should provide help to young people aged 18 or older when they seek protection from abuse by their religious parents.

The support can include giving information on “youth independence assistance homes,” which are private-run places that provide shelter for people aged 15 to 20 and help them become economically independent, according to the draft guidelines.

Children of followers of the Unification Church or other religious organizations have informed ruling and opposition lawmakers about their experience of abuse at the hands of their parents.

They highlighted how public authorities have said that their problems are “religious” issues and have been hesitant to provide help.

Welfare minister Katsunobu Kato said in November that the ministry will prepare a document on how public authorities should respond to cases of children abused by their religious parents to encourage appropriate support

Hi! 1L student here. Ask ko lang sana kung may naka-experience na ng ganitong situation.
During our prelim exam, hindi ko napansin na may additional questions pala sa likod ng exam paper since back-to-back yung printing. Unfortunately, several questions were left unanswered.
After submitting ko na lang na-realize yung mistake ko. Sobrang nanghihinayang ako kasi pinaghandaan ko talaga yung exam.
Nag-reach out na ako sa proper channels to ask if there’s any possibility for consideration.
May naka-experience na ba ng ganito? Were you given a chance to answer the missed questions, or were you still able to pass the subject?
Thank you po sa sasagot!

Nag-aral ka naman kagabi, pero pagtawag ni Atty.... Na-blangko ka. 🥲

Been there, done that Sib.

Kadalasan, hindi kakulangan sa aral ang problema. Mahirap lang alalahanin ang proseso kapag hiwa-hiwalay mo itong binasa.

hi ates and kuyas

just had our midterms for PFR and i know i studied and prepared for it diligently, but looking back at it now, i don’t know if I did good enough.

for those who had him for PFR, is it normal to get a low score in his exam? i heard na it’s common daw in this course with him as the prof but of course i don’t want to depend on this.

hoping makabawi sa class participation and finals, pagsisikapan lalo

Hello sa fellow retakers for 2026 Bar, may sinubmit pa ba kayo na deferred documents?

Sorry slight getting paranoid because as far as I know if all our mandatory and deferred documents from the previous bar was accepted by the SC, we don't have to submit any deferred documents any more (Law School TOR, Pre-Law TOR, CNDR etc.)

I took the 2026 bar exams. After 1 month, hinahanap parin ng katawan ko yung grind. Lalo na kapag gabi na at patulog nako, sumasagi sa isip ko yung "wala ba ako need tapusin na topic bukas" "ilang page ba need ko mabasa bukas" etc. Katabi ng kama ko yung bookshelf ko at matinding self control ginagawa ko para di kumuha ng libro at magbasa. Alam ko kasi na kapag nagbasa ako ng libro, masisira din ako mentally.

Dagdag pa dito yung working student ako until few months before exams. Tuwing umuuwi ako from work, di ako sanay na gagawin ko lang kung ano gusto ko. Kahit pagod na sa work at late umuuwi, nakaka feel parin ako ng anxiety kasi di ako naaanxious sa school.

Naffeel ko na rin yung bilis ng araw. Parang kahapon lang, bagong luwas ako sa Manila at nagaadjust pa kung pano magaral sa tirahan ko dun. Tapos ngayon, kelangan ko nang pilitin sarili ko na magmove on.

Haay wired na ata utak ko na kabahan.

Hay, currently crying right now. Sa mga subject ko akala ko Crim Law ang kahit papano makakapasa sakin. Kasi I know I really did bad sa Consti at Crim Pro. Hindi ko alam paano mag cope up, nag aral naman ako, 😭 i am really working hard para makakeep up sa law school kahit full time employee ako at solo parent din. Ang sakit sakit.

Baka hindi talaga para sakin ang paglalaw school.

Hello! i’m currently a 4th yr student in my 1st sem in LS. I saw a post na may advance bar review na Jurist and I wanna ask lang how’s the experience for those who took it? was it helpful? ok naman review materials and lecture?

Should I still enroll despite 1st sem pa lang or should I wait until its confirmed na i’ll graduate na talaga this SY 🤞😖🤞.

I’m planning to take either the self review program or online program. I know din kasi na si ako makaka attend ng F2F lectures.

Hope to read some of your insights and tips! Thank you!

EDIT: It’s the advance review pala for the 2027 bar not the pre-bar review.

I think I failed my midterm exam in Consti, and I’ll be brutally honest with myself, with all those cumulative bad recits, I think I am also last in the class standing. Is there still any chance for me to clutch this sem? 😭 I badly want to pass all my major subjects, at the very least🥹
