Environmental protection is not a barrier to tourism. It is what makes long-term growth possible.

Tourism can only succeed when clean waters, healthy ecosystems, and cultural landscapes are preserved. That is why the Philippines has laws in place to ensure that tourism development does not come at the cost of nature.

The Tourism Act of 2009 promotes responsible planning. The Environmental Impact Statement System requires developers of environmentally critical projects to assess risks before building. The Clean Water Act and the Solid Waste Management Act hold businesses accountable for waste and pollution. Protected areas and ecotourism zones are safeguarded under the National Integrated Protected Areas System.

When we protect the environment, we protect the future of tourism.

For questions on compliance or sustainable tourism development, message us or visit www.ajalaw.ph.

Legal issues, whether civil, criminal, or administrative or commercial, can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with complex procedures and technical jargon. In the Philippines, a competent lawyer is more than just a courtroom advocate. They are your advisor and strategic partner in contracts, negotiations, regulatory filings, and business transactions, ensuring your rights are protected, deadlines are met, and decisions are informed.

From notarizing agreements to filing pleadings, reviewing deals, or resolving disputes, your lawyer plays a vital role in safeguarding your interests. Consistent communication, legal transparency, and ethical representation are not luxuries. They are essential to building the trust and support every individual and business needs.

Language is powerful. It can include or exclude, uplift or undermine.

The Supreme Court now requires all courts to observe gender-fair language and respectful courtroom etiquette. This is a reminder that dignity, inclusion, and justice begin with how we speak.

Despite the existence of protective legislation, several challenges remain in ensuring the full realization of women’s rights in the workplace.

Employees who experience discrimination, harassment, or any violation of their rights are encouraged to document the incident and file a formal complaint.

At AJA Law, we support both employees and employers in building workplaces that are safe, fair, and legally compliant. True protection begins with awareness—and we’re committed to fostering that through education, guidance, and action.

Evicted? Don’t panic. Know the process.
Landlords must follow lawful procedures under the Civil Code and special laws. This means written notice and a court order, not intimidation or forced entry.

We can help protect your rights. Message us today.

Facing a rent increase? Know your rights! If your unit is covered by the Rent Control Act, your landlord can only raise your rent by up to 7% per year, with at least 12 months between increases and they must give proper written notice. Always double-check if your rental is protected and don’t be afraid to ask questions!

For any doubts or disputes, consult a legal professional to protect your rights.

A lease isn’t just paperwork. It’s a legal roadmap that defines who’s responsible for what, how rent and repairs are handled, what happens in emergencies, and how either party can exit the deal. When these things are unclear, disputes follow—and they can get expensive.
Understanding your rental agreement protects both sides. Lessees know their rights, Lessors prevent liability, and everyone avoids unpleasant surprises.

Whether you're a lessor or a lessee, understanding your lease is key to protecting your interests. If you need clarity or guidance, we’re here to help. Let’s make sure your rental agreements work for you, not against you.

This month’s lawyers’ meeting took us outside the office. A shift in space that made room for deeper conversations, honest reflection, and shared direction.

Our meetings aren’t just about updates and to-do’s. They’re built on collaboration,
inclusion, and exchange — where everyone, from associates to partners, has space to contribute, question, and grow. It’s a culture we value deeply and intentionally enforce in how we work and lead.

The firm continues to evolve, and with it, so do we — finding clarity, meaning, and momentum in shared goals and grounded conversations.
