possible legal actions?

ask ko lang po, gusto ko lang po sana malaman baka po meron legal grounds to file a case against a mentally ill person subject to mental evaluation and eventually hospitalization by court order? need help po. salamat po in advance.

if that person is a danger to others or himself, the legal recourse is to file a petition in court to have him committed

Hi,

I would like to know if you can file a case against your superior for the following situations:

Incident #1: Person A committed an honest error in his report. Person B (his supervisor) told him, "Ilang taon ka na ba nagtatrabaho dito? Hanggang ngayon mali-mali pa rin ginagawa mo...saksakin kita dyan ng ballpen eh!"

Incident #2: Person A has been absent for a week due to his medical condition and has informed his company's HR dept. regarding this for sick leave application purposes. During the weekly meeting, person B (supervisor) and person C (manager) made the group aware of person's A absences by making the remarks: "Wala naman atang sakit si person A eh. Ayaw lang siguro pumasok." Person A learned about this incident through his co-worker who attended the said meeting.

Please advise.
Thanks a lot!

tanong ko lang po ngayon is, how long will it take for the petition to be approved?

vlodys, very quickly if danger can be proven

attyLLL, maraming salamat po for the immediate reply.

another question ko po.

what if the person is showing a little stability? and that the person has gone to CHR and complaining that his rights has been violated? that her/his neighbors are forcefully provoking him/her to act in such way that she/he would seemed like insane?

this is so confusing. i'm feeling like his/her neighbors has violated his/her human rights, but on the other hand, he/he caused so much nuisance and disturbance these past few months, and it is unfair for the neighbors who suffered from his/her actions when he/she was mentally unstable?

thanks in advance.

Peace on Earth!

they can file a complaint at the bgy
