Cite five (5) examples of instances where the discussed laws are properly illustrated.

1. For Criminal Law, an example is when the DOJ is also set to issue its resolution on the
murder, hazing, and perjury complaint against members of Aegis Juris fraternity for the
death of University of Santo Tomas freshman law student Horacio “Atio” Castillo III.
The preliminary investigation wrapped up with John Paul Solano – initially seen as a
whistleblower – leading the pack of suspects with what they consider their strongest
defense: that Castillo did not die of injuries or trauma from hazing, but possibly from a
pre-existing heart condition. The DOJ’s biggest asset also came toward the tailend of the
preliminary probe: frat member Mark Ventura submitting a tell-all affidavit and turning
state witness.

2. For natural law; a simple example includes the idea that it is universally accepted and
understood that killing a human being is wrong. However, it is also universally accepted
that punishing someone for killing that person is right. The idea demonstrates that
without the requirement of legislation, such beliefs are something that human beings
understood inherently as wrong, without the requirement of law. For further
understanding, another example includes the idea that two people create a child, and they
then become the parents and natural caregivers for that child. It is something that natural
law theory would explain as natural law because it is inherent within human beings, and
any human-made law would not be required for humans to feel as though they need to act
as the caregiver of their child.

3. For Law on Obligations and Contracts; an example of contract obligations is with the sale
of a product such as an automobile. One party has the obligation to transfer ownership of
the car, while the other has the obligation to pay for it. The contract will specify the terms
that regulate the obligations, such as the method and amount of payment, and the
time/place of delivery. If either party fails to perform their contractual obligations
according to the contract terms, it will usually result in a breach of contract. This may
result in a damages award to reimburse the non-breaching party for their economic losses.

4. For Public Law, Ferdinand Marcos Jr’s electoral protest against Vice President Leni
Robredo saw substantive developments this year at the Supreme Court sitting as the
Presidential Election Tribunal or PET. The
Commission on Elections (Comelec) has begun
decrypting ballot images for the 3 pilot provinces
of Camarines Sur, Iloilo, and Negros Oriental. On
December 1, the PET approved Robredo’s request
to be provided soft copies of the ballot images.
Marcos’ protest suffered a setback when the PET
upheld in September the integrity of the 2016
 automated elections. One of Marcos’ motions was to question the integrity of the
automated system and so annul the results of the polls.

5. For administrative law, a subject of a foreign power residing in the Phil shall not be
deported, expelled, or excluded from the Phil or repatriated to his own country by the
President except upon prior investigation conducted by the Pres or his authorized agent,
on the ground upon which such action is contemplated. The person concerned shall be
informed of the charge against him and be allowed no less than 3 days for the preparation
for his defense. Also have the right to be heard by himself or counsel, to produce
witnesses in his own behalf, and to cross-examine the opposing witnesses.
