FORWARDThis work is not intended for sale or commerce. This work is freeware. It may befreely copied and distributed. It is primarily intended for all those who desireto have a deeper understanding of the issues touched by the Philippine BarExaminations and its trend. It is specially intended for law students from theprovinces who, very often, are recipients of deliberately distorted notes fromother unscrupulous law schools and students. Share to others this work and youwill 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 whichare improperly classified under a topic and for some topics which are improperlyor ignorantly phrased, for the authors are just Bar Reviewees who have preparedthis work while reviewing for the Bar Exams under time constraints and withintheir limited knowledge of the law. We would like to seek the reader’s indulgencefor a lot of typographical errors in this work.The AuthorsBAR Q&A (as arranged by Topics) – POLITICAL LAW (1987-2006)2
