Backing Out after signing an agreement.

Good day po. Ask ko lang po if okay lang po ba mag-backout if nakapag-sign na ng agreement?

May na-pirmahan na po ako na parang contract na kasama ako sa first day on November. More than a month pa, roughly 5-6 weeks pa before start. At this week lang din ako nag-sign. May binigay na saking parang start-up items to prepare myself once nag-start nako. Hindi ko pa naman po nagagalaw yung mga yon.

Ask ko lang po if pwede pa magback-out? May bond yun, for 2 years at syempre may bond fee.

Fresh grad palang po ako. Sana matulungan nyo ako. Thanks!

I haven't submitted anything yet to them aside dun sa na-pirmahan ko na.

May nakalagay din sa agreement na "a copy of relevant provisions will be given the company rules and regulations to us upon execution of this agreement", e wala pa naman akong nare-receive na kahit anong ganun.

I'm worried lang baka ma-apektuhan yung employment ko. I mean, mag-backout ako dito (company A) tapos pumirma ako sa ibang company (company B) at malaman yung nangyari e bawiin nila (company B).

Wala namang bawal sa kontrata?

It is enforceable - at the very least via the Civil Code (1315):

Art. 1315. Contracts are perfected by mere consent, and from that moment the parties are bound not only to the fulfillment of what has been expressly stipulated but also to all the consequences which, according to their nature, may be in keeping with good faith, usage and law.

Ano pong bawal? U mean yung parang noncompete clause? Meron po. Meron din pong parang "disqualified himself at any stage of the training program" e required din magbayad nung fee.

Wala pa naman po ako nasusubmit na kahit ano for the requirements.

Hindi, I mean, wala namang bawal na pinapagawa sila sa kontrata?

Standard ang non-compete to protect their interests.

Wala naman sa pag-submit yan, pumirma ka at kailangan tuparin mo yan.

Lalo na kung hindi na nila mahabol at kunin ang ibang kapalitan mo na aplikante.

I see. So paninindigan ko na lang pala yung desisyon ko. Thanks.

dapat pala talaga di muna ako pumirma. oh well.

thanks again!

bakit gusto mo mag back out?

magsisinungaling ako kung hindi ko sasabihing dahil sa offer. yes fresh grad lang ako pero syempre prefer ko yung mas mataas kahit for a short term lang kasi may mga kapatid pa akong nag-aaral. aside from that, ang tagal pa kasi mag-start. hahaha.

yun lang naman po! hihihi! anyway, hindi na po natuloy yung pagbaback out ko since nag-compute ako ng daily expenses eh ganun din kalalabasan after a year or so.. well, ideally.. and aside from that natatakot ako sa consequences. hehehe.
