Jevijoe in Tbilisi, Day 27

It is my last day in Tbilisi, and I miss the city already.

I was packing up my things for New York, and I could not believe that I accumulated so much stuff that it wouldn't fit in my luggage.

I have to buy an additional luggage bag and also some souvenirs and gifts for New York friends, colleagues, and coworkers. But before I did my itinerary, I prepared a brunch for my last stay in this beautiful and historic apartment, just a noodle soup left over and wine while viewing the window, my last stare at the street of Tbilisi from this perfect balcony spot.

I'm filled with gratitude to the people whom I have met here, especially Mariam, who is a wonderful fellowship coordinator here and also an accomplished artist who represented Georgia in the Venice Biennale in 2022!

I thought of a last-minute farewell dinner later this evening, so I messaged most of the people I met through Whatsapp, hoping they could come over.

I rushed outside to buy the cheapest luggage bag. Then I went to the flea market to buy souvenir gifts and ended up being obsessed with coin and money paper bill collections. I found an old $2 US dollar bill that is so rare in the US, as well as commemorative Olympic coins and silver spoons. I was beginning to wonder why I was buying stuff for myself and not for my friends in New York.

During my flea market buying spree, I was impressed by a woman artist's humility and kindness in selling her small paintings of Tbilisi scenes for 5 lari (that is 1.85 US dollars!). Made of watercolor on linen canvas cloth, I bought several paintings signed by her. I dropped by the local grocery store for souvenir goods and bought variety of Churchkelas, a traditional Georgian candy that looks like candles.

In the evening, I had an incredible dinner night with the Georgian folks, and we talked about a lot of crazy stuff about Georgian history, etc. I recall Nika asking me, "So tell us about your experience in Georgia; we already knew the good ones, but tell us the bad ones." Honestly, I could not think of "bad ones" or a bad experience at all. It's one of the cities I visited where I felt safe even in the "after-party" early morning hours. I was searched by police twice, but it was a random routine and respectful.

My Qvevri that I made during the pottery class was delivered that night by Anna, our pottery teacher. It took a while to process the firing, the glazing, etc. because I told her days ago that I really wanted to bring the earthenware to New York.

5 a.m. is my flight the next day, so I have to return the key to the apartment to the Airbnb owner. I met Vahtang, the Airbnb owner's father, and handed him the key, and I told him, If I'm going back to Tbilisi in the near future, I really want to stay in the same place!

My one-month stay here in Tbilisi has taught me a valuable lesson: Just be present.

ATHASHA VITUG XII-KANT

As I reflect on my journey through senior high school, it’s hard to believe how much has changed since I first walked through those daunting school gates as a timid Grade 11 student. Back then, I felt like a nobody, just another face in the crowd, unsure of where I fit in or if I even belonged. Little did I know, my journey was about to take me on a transformative path, leading me to unexpected friendships, personal growth, and unforgettable memories.

Grade 11 was a year of discovery and adaptation. I remember feeling overwhelmed by the workload, the new environment, and the pressure to excel academically. I struggled to find my place within the bustling hallways and noisy classrooms, often retreating into the safety of solitude to avoid the unfamiliarity of social interactions. However, amidst the chaos of adolescence, I found solace in the pages of books and the quiet corners of the library, where I could lose myself in the worlds of literature and escape the anxieties of reality.

Despite my initial reservations, fate had other plans for me. It was during a group project in my English class that I first crossed paths with a diverse group of classmates who would soon become my closest friends. Bonding over shared interests and mutual struggles, we formed an unlikely alliance that transcended the barriers of cliques and social hierarchies. Together, we navigated the ups and downs of high school life, supporting each other through academic challenges, personal crises, and the occasional teenage drama.

As the months passed, I began to find my voice within our tight-knit circle, shedding the layers of self-doubt that had held me back for so long. Encouraged by the unwavering support of my newfound friends, I gradually emerged from the shadows, embracing opportunities for leadership and self-expression. Whether it was volunteering for class projects, participating in extracurricular activities, or speaking up in discussions, I found myself stepping into roles that I never imagined I was capable of fulfilling.

By the time Grade 12 rolled around, I had undergone a remarkable transformation. No longer the quiet observer on the sidelines, I had become a confident and proactive member of our classroom community. Elected as the unofficial “classroom mayor” by my peers, I took on the responsibility of representing our collective interests, mediating conflicts, and fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie among our diverse group of personalities.

As the final weeks of senior year approached, I found myself filled with a bittersweet mix of anticipation and nostalgia. While I looked forward to the adventures that awaited me beyond the confines of high school, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness at the thought of leaving behind the friends and memories that had shaped my journey in ways I never could have imagined. From the timid nobody of Grade 11 to the confident leader of Grade 12, my senior high school experience had been a rollercoaster ride of self-discovery, growth, and transformation.

As I prepare to embark on the next chapter of my life, I carry with me the lessons learned and the friendships forged during my time in senior high school. Though our paths may diverge and our lives may take us to different corners of the world, I know that the bonds we formed and the memories we shared will always remain a cherished part of who we are. And as I look back on my journey from nobody to classroom mayor, I am grateful for every moment, every challenge, and every triumph that shaped me into the person I am today.

BELCODERO vs CA

GR No 89667 . Oct 20, 1993

Vitug, J:,

FACTS:

This case involves the question of ownership over a piece of property acquired by a husband living with a paramour and after having deserted his lawful wife and children.

Alayo Bosing married Juliana Oday in 1927 and had 3 children. In 1946, he abandoned them and lived with Josefa Rivera whom he acknowleged as a common-law wife Josefa Bosing. They had one child, Josephine Bosing, now Josephine Belcodero.

He married Josefa Bosing in 1958 while still married to Juliana. Alayo purchased a land on installment basis in 1949 and in his deed he named Josefa Bosing as his wife and transferred the lot in her name. Final deed executed in 1959.

Alayo died in March 1967. In 1970, Josefa and Josephine executed a document of extra judicial partition and sale of the lot, which was described as conjugal property. Josefa’s share went to Josephine for P10,000, so Josephine Belcodero had full ownership. Notice was published.

In October 1980, Juliana (real widow) and 3 children filed for reconveyance of property. Trial Court and CA ruled in favor of Juliana. about:blank

ISSUE:

Whether or not said property registered under the name of the common-law wife is not an exclusive property but a conjugal property of Alayo and his legitimate wife Juliana.

HELD:

Yes. The property remained as belonging to the conjugal partnership of Alayo and his legitimate wife Juliana. Under both the new Civil Code (Article 116) and the old Civil Code (Article 1407), “all property of the marriage is presumed to belong to the conjugal partnership, unless it be proved that it pertains exclusively to the husband or to the wife.” This presumption has not been convincingly rebutted.

It cannot be seriously contended that, simply because the property was titled in the name of Josefa at Alayo’s request, she should thereby be deemed to be its owner. The property unquestionably was acquired by Alayo and it was just transferred to Josefa.

Related Case (Art 149)

Silva vs CA and Gonzales, 275 SCRA 604 [G.R. No. 114742. July 17, 1997]

Ponente: VITUG, J.:

FACTS: Carlitos E. Silva, a married businessman, and Suzanne T. Gonzales, an unmarried local actress, cohabited without the benefit of marriage. The union saw the birth of two children: Ramon Carlos and Rica Natalia. Not very long after, a rift in their relationship surfaced. It began, according to Silva, when Gonzales decided to resume her acting career over his vigorous objections. The assertion was quickly refuted by Gonzales who claimed that she, in fact, had never stopped working throughout their relationship. At any rate, the two eventually parted ways. Gonzales refused to allow Silva, in apparent contravention of a previous understanding, to have the children in his company on weekends. Silva filed a petition for custodial rights over the children before the Regional Trial Court (RTC), Branch 78, of Quezon City. The petition was opposed by Gonzales who averred that Silva often engaged in "gambling and womanizing" which she feared could affect the moral and social values of the children.

The Trial Court judgment is rendered directing the respondent to allow herein petitioner visitorial rights to his children during Saturdays and/or Sundays, but in no case should he take out the children without the written consent of the mother or respondent herein. No pronouncement as to costs. Silva appeared somehow satisfied with the judgment for only Gonzales interposed an appeal from the RTCs order to the Court of Appeals. In the meantime, Gonzales got married to a Dutch national. The newlyweds emigrated to Holland with Ramon Carlos and Rica Natalia.

On 23 September 1993, the appellate tribunal ruled in favor of Gonzales. The RTC decision had been reversed and Petitioner-appellee's petition for visitorial rights was denied as the children concerned are still in their early formative years of life. The molding of the character of the child starts at home. A home with only one parent is more normal than two separate houses.

ISSUE: Whether or not the father is entitled to visitation rights to his children? (The right to access of a noncustodial parent to his or her child/children)

HELD: YES. The biological father has a visitorial right over his illegitimate children given the constitutionally protected inherent and natural right of parents over their children). This right is personal to the father; no other person, like grandparents, can exercise this right for him.

Article 150 of the Family Code expresses that "family relations include those between parents and children; Article 209, in relation to Article 220, of the Code states that it is the natural right and duty of parents and those exercising parental authority to, among other things, keep children in their company and to give them love and affection, advice and counsel, companionship, and understanding. The Constitution itself speaks in terms of the "natural and primary rights of parents in the rearing of the youth.

Although the Supreme Court’s granted Silva (the father) the visitation rights, but this favorable decision did not prevent Suzanne (the mother), in the exercise of her parental authority, from immigrating to Holland with her two children.

Naghahanap sa likod ng mabilis na lumalagong industriya ng mga video game

Mabilis hanggang ngayon, ang industriya ng laro ng video ay umunlad sa isang pandaigdigang juggernaut, na tinatayang nagkakahalaga ng higit sa $ 300 bilyon, pag-access sa isang ulat ng firm ng mga propesyonal na serbisyo. Ito ay higit pa sa mga pamilihan para sa mga pelikula at pinagsama ng musika.

Sa Pilipinas, ang mga kita ng marketing marketing ay nagpakita ng paglaki ng paglaki noong 2020 kumpara sa mga nakaraang taon, kasama ang segment ng mobile games na ipinahayag upang magpatuloy sa paglaki sa susunod na limang taon hanggang sa $ 1.52 bilyon sa 2025.

Lloyd R. Si Manaloto, unang bise-presidente at pinuno ng corporate marketing at diskarte sa Smart Communications, Inc., sangkap na habang ang mga numero ay nagkakagulo, ang pagsulong ay medyo isang pag-unlad kamakailan.

“Noong 2013, ang paglalaro ay marami pa ring aktibidad na angkop na lugar. Hindi ito mainstream. Ngunit mabilis na pasulong sa 2021, nakikita namin ang mga malalaking tao, malaking premyo na panalo, at ito ay napakahalaga sa epekto ng mga esports sa ating kultura,” sinabi niya ang tirahan ng BusinessWorld Insights sa isang session na may temang, “ Ang umuusbong na Esports at Gaming Scene sa Pilipinas.”

Ayon kay Mr. Manaloto, mayroong halos 45 milyong aktibong mga manlalaro sa bansa ngayon, isang mabilis na pagtaas ng 12.9% taon sa taon mula noong 2017. Sa paligid ng 63% ng online na populasyon, bukod dito, manood ng nilalaman ng paglalaro, habang ang 33% na mga esports sa relo.

Ang mga Esports, kasama ang isang bilang ng iba pang mga kadahilanan, ay naglaro upang payagan ang paglago na ito, Irymarc “ Tryke ” Gutierrez, co-founder at punong executive officer ng gaming and e-sports talent agency na Tier One Entertainment, sinabi.

Ang pag-access ng mga mobile na laro, lalo na dahil sa mas mababang presyo ng pagpasok ng mga smartphone kumpara sa mga PC o console, ay pinalakas ang industriya ng mga video game sa mga bagong taas, pagbabago nito sa isang pangunahing libangan.

“Magagamit upang ipakita ang paglalaro sa ibang paraan sa pamamagitan ng streaming ay isang malaking pag-unlad din,” idinagdag niya.

“Naaalala ko ang paghahagis ng maraming mga laro ng Golden Plus noon. Ang pinaka-kami ay nasa paligid ng 25,000 kasabay na mga manonood para sa viewership ng Pilipinas. Ngunit ngayon, kasama ang mga Mobile Legends kapag nakikipagkumpitensya ang aming mga koponan, 260,000 katao ang nanonood sa online. Iyon lamang ang nagpapakita kung gaano karaming mga madla ang madla at industriya na lumago.”

Ang paglipat na ito mula sa isang angkop na libangan sa isang mas pangunahing anyo ng endtainment ay nabawasan din ang karamihan sa nakaraang gaganapin stigma na ginamit upang palibutan ang industriya. Darren Paul Vitug, komisyonado ng lokal na liga ng e-sports Ang pinuno ng komite ng Nationals at etika ng Philippine Esports Organization, ibinahagi kung paano ang stigma ng paglalaro bilang isang hindi produktibong libangan ay nagbabago habang mas maraming tao ang nauunawaan ito.

“Kapag sinabi ng mga tao na ang paglalaro ay isang hindi produktibong libangan, ang aksyon nila ay tumutukoy sa pagkagumon sa paglalaro at hindi paglalaro bawat se. Malinaw na pagkagumon at libangan ay mga polar oposites, o hindi bababa sa kanila. Iniisip pa rin ng mga tao na ang paglalaro sa kanyang sarili ay isang hindi produktibong libangan, sasabihin ko na sa pangkalahatan na kung paano iniisip ng mga tao ang mga bagay na hindi nila pamilyar. Kailangan nating maunawaan na ang pagiging produktibo sa isang libangan ay hindi ganap, at dahil ang isang libangan ay isang bagay na ginagawa mo upang makapagpahinga, upang mabulok, at magsaya, hindi talaga makatarungan para sa sinuman na sabihin sa ngalan ng isang tao na ang kanilang libangan ay hindi produktibo,” aniya.

Antonio A.S. Valdes vs RTC, Br.102,Quezon City, et.al

G.R. No. 122749| July 31, 1996

Justice Vitug

Family Code:

Art. 147 : Kapag ang isang lalaki at isang babae na may kapasidad na magpakasal sa isa't isa, ay namuhay nang eksklusibo sa isa't isa bilang mag-asawa nang walang benepisyo ng kasal o sa ilalim ng walang bisang kasal, ang kanilang mga sahod at suweldo ay pantay nilang pag-aari at ang ari-arian na kanilang naipundar sa pamamagitan ng kanilang trabaho o industriya ay pinamamahalaan ng mga patakaran sa kapwa pagmamay-ari.

Sa kawalan naman ng katibayan, ang mga ari-arian na naipundar sa kanilang pagsasama ay maituturing na naipundar sa pamamagitan ng kanilang magkasanib na pagsisikap, trabaho o industriya, at pagmamay-ari nila ang nasabing ari-arian sa pantay na bahagi. Para sa mga layunin ng Artikulo na ito, kahit ang isang partido ay walang partisipasyon sa pagpundar ng anumang ari-arian na naipundar ng kabilang partido ay maituturing pa din na kanilang dalawa kung ang una ay ang syang nangangalaga at nagpapanatili ng pamilya at ng sambahayan.

Walang sinumang partido ang maaaring magsangla o mag bahagi sa iba ng kanyang parte sa ari-arian na naipundar sa panahon ng kanilang pagsasama at pag mamay-ari nilang pareho, ng walang pahintulot ng isa, hanggang magwakas ang kanilang pagsasama.

Kapag isa lamang sa mga partido sa isang walang bisang kasal ang may mabuting loob, ang bahagi ng nang linlang na partido sa kanilang ari-arian ay mapapawalang bisa at maililipat ito sa kanilang mga anak.

Kung hindi kinuha o ayaw tanggapin ng isa o lahat ng mga anak ang ari-arian o mga inapo, ang kanilang bahagi sa ari-arian ay mapupunta sa mga nabubuhay na inapo. Kung wala ang mga ito, mapupunta ang bahagi ng ari-arian sa inosenteng partido. Sa lahat ng nabanggit, ang pagtanggi ay magaganap lamang sa pagtatapos ng kanilang pagsasama.

CASE DIGEST

Facts:

Antonio Valdes and Consuelo Gomez were married on 05 January 1971. Begotten during the marriage were five children. In a petition, dated 22 June 1992, Valdes sought the declaration of nullity of the marriage pursuant to Article 36 of the Family Code (docketed Civil Case No. Q-92-12539, Regional Trial Court of Quezon City, Branch 102). After hearing the parties following the joinder of issues, the trial court,1 in its decision of 29 July 1994, granted the petition.

The petitioner and respondent are directed to start proceedings on the liquidation of their common properties as defined by Article 147 of the Family Code, and to comply with the provisions of Articles 50, 51 and 52 of the same code, within thirty (30) days from notice of this decision.

Consuelo Gomez sought a clarification of that portion of the decision directing compliance with Articles 50, 51 and 52 of the Family Code. She asserted that the Family Code contained no provisions on the procedure for the liquidation of common property in “unions without marriage.” Parenthetically, during the hearing on the motion, the children filed a joint affidavit expressing their desire to remain with their father, Antonio Valdes, herein petitioner.

Issue/s:

Whether or not the trial court correctly applied Article 147 of the Family Code to the present case and Articles 50, 51 and 52 of the same code to govern their common property.

Ruling:

Yes. The trial court correctly applied the law. In a void marriage, regardless of the cause thereof, the property relations of the parties during the period of cohabitation is governed by the provisions of Article 147 or Article 148, such as the case may be, of the Family Code. The rules set up to govern the liquidation of either the absolute community or the conjugal partnership of gains, the property regimes recognized for valid and voidable marriages (in the latter case until the contract is annulled), are irrelevant to the liquidation of the co-ownership that exists between common-law spouses. The first paragraph of Article 50 of the Family Code, applying paragraphs (2), (3), (4) and (5)of Article 43, relates only, by its explicit terms, to voidable marriages and, exceptionally, to void marriages under Article 40 of the Code, i.e., the declaration of nullity of a subsequent marriage contracted by a spouse of a prior void marriage before the latter is judicially declared void. The latter is a special rule that somehow recognizes the philosophy and an old doctrine that void marriages are inexistent from the very beginning and no judicial decree is necessary to establish their nullity.

Jevijoe in Tbilisi, Day 26

I saw my calendar schedule today; it's raining and I feel like not going out. The event is the 2024 Judo Grand Slam in Tbilisi and starts at 9 a.m. I have never been to a judo event before, and every time I hear the word "judo,"  it reminds me of French conceptual and performance artist Yves Klein, whose first love is not art but judo. Sometimes artists need to have a discipline that is outside of their comfort zone of art practice, similar to Marcel Duchamp joining a chess tournament. This is the main goal of the fellowship: to go to a place outside your comfort zone, take the risk, and dive into the unknown! At the last minute, I changed my mind and rushed to the Olympic Palace.

I came late at around 10 a.m., but the event attendant said I just came on time since it was just the qualifying rounds, and the finals and awarding ceremony will be at 6 p.m. The event seemed brutal and physical, but the martial arts fighters were well disciplined. Judo is not about striking but more about throwing and wrestling. I felt like I was watching gladiators in live action during ancient times.

I was fascinated by the wonders of the human body and its potentiality, the power within us, and the fact that there are so many ways to explore the possibilities of our own physical body. My past physical activities, such as yoga, tai chi, and pilates, have taught me a lot of things about self-awareness and mindfulness.

I visited the Georgian National Museum, where I learned a lot about the old and modern history of Georgia. Like the Judo tournament, I got "grand slammed" by the exhibition about the Soviet occupation of 1921–1991. It was an eye-opener for me about the horrors of the Soviet era, the heroes whose names are not as popular as Stalin but who fought hardly for the independence of Georgia. One name that has struck me is Dimitri Shevardnadze. He is an intellectual artist and also the founder of the Georgian Art Museum. He was shot in 1937 during Stalin's repressions. I felt it could have been me or any Georgian artist who could be easily imprisoned and shot by merely criticizing the government. I really admired the heroes during the Soviet occupation, including the religious clergy, for their bravery and selflessness. The reason that I enjoyed this present moment in Tbilisi is because they fought for this country to be a better and safer place. They are the real fighters and I feel very grateful!

FAMILY CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES

TITLE IV:PROPERTY RELATIONS BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE

ARTICLE 109

The following shall be the exclusive property of each spouse:

1. That which is brought to the marriage as his or her own;

2. That which each acquires during the marriage by gratuitous title;

3. That which is acquired by right of redemption, by barter or by exchange with property belonging to only one of the spouses and

4. That which is purchased with exclusive money of the wife or of the husband.

When the property is registered in the name of a spouse only and there is no showing as to when the property was acquired by said spouse, this is an indication that the property belongs exclusively to said spouse. And this presumption under Art. 160 of the Civil Code cannot prevail when the title is in the name of only one spouse and the rights of innocent third parties are involved.

PNB v. Court of Appeals

Facts:

Clodualdo Vitug passed away without a will. These parcels of land (TCT-2289, TCT-2887, and TCT-2888) were mortgaged to PNB as collateral for various debts taken out by Pedro Bacani, Salvador Vitug, and each of them. The bank foreclosed on all the mortgaged properties since the loans were never repaid. The parcels were bought by PNB as the highest bidder, who afterwards sold them to the Vitugs and the fajardo.

In the meantime, Donata signed a leasing agreement with her sons Pragmacio and Maximo Vitug for the lot covered by TCT-2887-R. A few years later, the same brothers sued the PNB, the Vitugs, the Fajardos, and Marcelo Mendiola, the special administrator of Donata's intestate estate, in the CFI Pampanga for partition and reconveyance with damages. They asserted that the 30 land parcels represent a portion of Donata and Clodualdo's conjugal property, and they claim a 2/11 share of each lot.  They criticized the mortgage the PNB had taken out on those properties as well as the subsequent public sale. They cited the Vitug v. Montemayor judgment, in which the SC decided that the 30 portions of land were conjugal.

Issue:

1. Can the PNB rely merely on the torrens certificate of the title covering Donatas properties for the processing of the respective mortgage loan application

2. Is the earlier action for reconveyance and partition concerning the 30 lots real action and binding upon the PNB by virtue of the Vitug vs. Montemayor decision?

Ruling:

 

1. Yes,The PNB had sufficient reason to rely on the torrens certificate of the title of the mortgaged properties. The SC ruled that in processing the loan is applications, the PNB had the right to rely upon the face of the certificate of title.Clearly, it appears that Donata (a widow) owns the properties and the PNB had no reason to doubt her status and ownership. The PNB also found no liens or encumbrances covering the properties. The clean facts reasonably cancel the need to make further inquiry.The Court applied the well-known rule in jurisdiction that a person has a right to rely upon the face of the Torrens Certificate of Title when dealing with a registered land. It is not necessary to inquire beyond its face, except when such person has an actual knowledge of facts and circumstances that would prompt him to inquire further. The Court ruled that a Torrens title “concludes all controversy over ownership of the land covered by a final degree of registration” and upon such registration, the person is assured of ownership without going to court or sitting at the veranda ofhis house to avoid the fear losing his land.

(2) No. The SC maintained that although actions for recovery of real property and for partition are real actions, they are action in personams, which are binding only upon the parties thereto. The PNB is not a party in the cited case and is thereto not bound by the decision.In addition there is no showing that PNB was aware of ghe case decision when it extended the mortgage loan involving the subject property.The court settled that if the PNB knew that said properties were conjugal it would not have approved the mortgage application without securing the consent of its co-owners.Therefore the PNB is considered purchaser for value in good faith when it sold the goreclosed properties at a public auction.The complain is dismissed.
