This 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 desire to havea deeper understanding of the issues touched by the Philippine Bar Examinations andits trend. It is specially intended for law students from the provinces who, very often,are recipients of deliberately distorted notes from other unscrupulous law schools andstudents. Share to others this work and you will 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 improperly orignorantly phrased, for the authors are just Bar Reviewees who have prepared this work while reviewing for the Bar Exams under time constraints and within theirlimited knowledge of the law. We would like to seek the reader’s indulgence for a lot of typographical errors in this work.The Authors
