answer .
I do much agree, legality (law) and ethics are build or designed
to keep people behave. To guarantee that the society is
functioning as a whole and to create a better and peaceful life.
Law exists to defend the right of a citizen, and ethics is to
make a moral decisions.
3. Among the social institutions, which do you believe has the greatest
impact to the development of personal values? Why?
Family it is, basically we are born whom we cannot choose
what family kind we have. But our family is the one who
develop us, to think , to act, and to behave. It was said that
family is the rigid social institution that supports its members.
Family also is one of the main bases of society , where
socialization occur first, and meet the needs of the society.
4. Lack of self-analysis and self-reflection is one of the weaknesses of
the Filipino character . Give your reaction
Self-reflection is the way of knowing yourself and having a
discussion with yourself. No one can deny the importance of
self-reflection. It increases emotional self-awareness and
integrity about values. It is just like you are looking into the
mirror and describing your strengths, weaknesses, and fears.
Though sometimes we Filipino forget that we are not perfect we
 tend do mistakes, because we compare our self to others,
settings standard to others. we forgot to be grateful and hhow
truly we are blessed on the thing we have.

It is essential to have values education in order to create
meaningful change. Values education helps individuals to

be used to create positive change in society. Without values
education, individuals would be unable to see the importance
of working together towards a common goal. They would also
be unable to understand the importance of respect,
compassion, and empathy. All of these values are essential in
order to create a meaningful change in society.

values?
Economic value is the value that a person places on a good or
service based on the benefit that they get from it. Somehow a

fulfillment.

the same? Why.

The law says if H loses on gambling the it has nothing to do

with the conjugal property. Nevertheless, if H won the laws

229)

3. Parental authority is suspended upon conviction of the

parent (Article 230)

12. Debts contracted by either spouse without the consent of the other
shall be chargeable against the community property. Give your
comment .

One of the spouses contracts a loan and the common

property will sometimes be held responsible in case the
contracting spouse defaults in his obligation. The liability of
the common property will depend on the type of transaction
and other factors provided by law. It would depend if the other
spouse had knowledge and consent of the transaction. If
the husband sold the property without the consent and
knowledge of the wife, then the sale is void. However, the
transaction shall be considered as a continuing offer and may
be perfected upon acceptance of the other spouse. On the other
hand, if the husband sold the community property with the
knowledge but without the consent of the wife, the contract is
merely annullable.

Discuss the following :

13. Absolute Community Property
Absolute Community of Property this are properties separately
held before the marriage become part of the Conjugal Property
once the marriage has taken place. Example is inherited house
and lot, when marriage takes place our spouse will also be
rightful owner of that property. If you wish to keep the
 inherited property solely yours, then the prenuptial agreement
must be place before the marriage occurs.

14. Conjugal Partnership

Conjugal Partnership is one of the property regime between the
spouses provided by law, wherein the husband and wife place
in a common fund the proceeds, products, fruits and income
from their separate properties and those acquired by either or
both spouses through their efforts or by chance. As a result of
their marriage, the couple will share in all of their financial and
other assets. This occur to support the needs of their married
life or family life. Kids’ education, rental taxes, food and any
daily family life consumptions.

15. According to Article 215 of the Family Code , “ No members of

the family shall be allowed to testify against one another “. ( Discuss
briefly )
The Philippines is very sensitive when it comes to family
matters. As much as possible family’s integrity must be
protected. There are circumstances that a family must testify
with accordance with law; there will always be an exemption.
When a family member is treat for other family member. There
is no perfect family, but values are perfect if we follow.
