Persons and Family Relations is a five unit subject that you will encounter during your first week, possibly your first day in law school in the Philippines. It’s divided into two parts – Persons, which covers the first part of the Civil Code and Family Relations, which in turn is covered by the Family Code.

Persons, along with Obligations and Contracts are the two Civil Law subjects covered in your first year of law school in the Philippines. They are offered first precisely because they lay down the foundation of civil law.

Once you know Persons plus Obligations, you will have an excellent platform for a high level of performance for civil law subjects such as Sales and Lease, Transportation and Public Utilities Law, Torts and Damages, Credit Transactions, among others.

Hindi ako nabiyayaan ng magandang pundasyon sa Persons and Family Relations, kapatid. Kaya hayaan mong simulan ko ito sa isang babala – mga bata, huwag tularan.

Allow me, kapatid to share with you all that I know about Persons and Family Relations.
