Hi little brother, HAHA EXACTLY, I KNOW YOU GET IT 😂😂😂
Atty your vlogs really uplifts my mood so I'm really happy you already have ads!🥰 thankful for sharing your thoughts/tips /experiences & knowledge with us 💗
Aww thank you Keziah! Happy I have viewers like yourself who are so receptive to learning 🖤🙂
Thank you so much, Atty. I've been binge-watching your vlogs to get a glimpse of how my life will be in the next weeks. At first, it made me doubt my choice of entering law school (esp during a pandemic and classes will be in the new normal) but at the end, it gave me the motivation that I needed. Your videos are helpful. ♥️
Thank you Fiona! It will get better in time. You can do it!! 😊
That "punyeta" is mesmerizing coming from you atty 😅
HAHAHA this cracked me up!! Thank you 😂🖤
Thank you for this Atty! 😍 Would love to hear more on reading comprehension tecniques, study tips, and more law school DiskarTips! 😄
Yes, Mykel, have more law videos in the pipeline! Love the term "DiskarTips" btw 😄😄😄
Hello po! I have been watching your vlogs as im preparing for law school. The drive you’re giving me is immeasurable, atty! Downloaded all your vids and i keep watching everyday. Thanks much 💛💛
Wow!! Thank you! Best of luck! You can do it, future abogada!
Finally, a new upload. 😊😊
🖤🖤🖤
Real talk 💯 Great content, Atty.! 💕
Aww! Thanks, Czarina! 😊🖤🖤🖤
Yassss to this! I apprecite your honesty here, Atty. Tina. 💯 Back when I was about to enter law school, ang dami kong pinanood ng vlogs about what to expect in law school and most of them sinasabi nila na "you don't have to memorize, you need to understand". But based on my personal experience, yes, there's lot of things to understand AND memorize. Hehe. And oh! My oblicon prof required us to memorize the provisions in verbatim too, that's more or less 45 provisions/week. 😂
Aloha, oh my gulay. 45 provisions a week?!? Kudos, as in! Hahaha! And I agree, there is so much memory work involved, kahit hindi verbatim! You're an incoming (or just started) sophomore, right? Best of luck with that! :) 🖤
I can tell from how you speak that you’re super smart and disciplined:) i hope ganyan dn ako^^ thank you po for sharing your knowledge
I’m becoming your fan ... I mean I’m your fan already 🤍 your vlog >>>> Netflix !! Thank you for your substantial videos it really helps me a lot esp that this is my first yr in legma course👀 I will look up to you and follow you all throughout my legal education journey
Thank you, Sangria! First year LegMa, ooh, that's a good start to your atttorney journey! Hehe best of luck!! 🖤
Waahhh I guess this is my destiny course because I love to memorize and undertsand the specific topic. Thank you for this atty. Godbless!
I love to memorize! This is a good news for me. This video brighten up my day. You always complete my day, Attoney❤ Thank you so much!❤
Galing mo Alecz! You're the exception! You'll have a very useful skill in law school if that's the case 🖤
@@TinaAmadorRobles thank you talaga Attorney, hindi ko po yon malalaman without your help!❤ I'm so glad I checked on your channel, now I am a super fan of yours! Stay safe po lagi❤
Thank you for this Atty. 😍⚖️
there's something special about you attorney when you say idioms. you speak as if English is your first language. so informative.
What kind words. Thank you, Lionille! :)
A sigh of relief...thnx for this vid.
Wahhh. Finally!! I've been waiting for your new video, Atty. Tinaa!! Thank you for this!!!!
P.S. Bilang lang po yung pagpikit ng mata niyooooo!!! Galing!!! Hahaha!!!
Thanks Jan! Looks like you're eyeing law as your profession! 😉 Re: barely any blinking, I'm actually a cyborg hahahaha JKKKK
I love your videos atty 🥺💘
Thank you Joahnna 🤗
Well as a 14 year old i was about to give up from being a lawyer which is my dream. It's because everything thing is hardships but still I'm looking forward to try to enter law school even is not a joke🙂
Thanks, Atty.
Hi Atty, how do you plan your schedule? Please give us tips on how you prioritized them? Do you have a planner with you?
wow I started watching you with 4.14k subs! Now you have 4.21k subs! The community is growing ❤️ way to go Atty.
Yay! I also love memorizing haha
Haha! Thanks Henrick! Oh, back in college, I thought I loved memorizing, too. But as it turns out, the amount of memorization in college is .01% of memorization in law school 😄 But I have no doubt you will hack it, and that you will do it well!
Thanks Atty. Tina 💕 I hope you can make a video about Law School Application Process in the future, specifically, what were the activities/achievements in undergrad that helped your application, and if the application process is more about the LAE or more about latin honors/org involvements in your undergrad 🥰 Thanks again po
Hi Denise! Sure, I'll add this to my list. For now, though, you should know that while it hasn't been officially confirmed (they keep mum on this), admission to UP Law is allegedly 50% undergrad grades, 50% LAE performance. 😉
I’m taking environmental science degree right now and planning to be a geologist someday, but my mind is still opting or wanting to be a lawyer someday. Would it be adviseable to go to law school and become a lawyer for just career fulfillment and wanting to earn big money?
I'm getting fond of your videos po because of the tips, of how you speak, etc. Tho~ my degree is related to technology. More vids po. God bless you always. ☺️
Aw thanks, Janine! Even if you're in a tech-related field, like I say, the law touches every industry 😊🖤
Thank you for those wonderful insights about the provisions of the law. But mind if I suggest another topic in your next vlog if it would be possible? HAHA. I hopefully recommend the top 12 best pre law books and the best bachelor's course heading towards law school. I'm a fan. Especially because you are a UP Law graduate. Which is believe me, one of my dreams too. Currently, I am a 17 years old student, with an aspiration to attend UP Law if God allows. HAHA. Your replies on this matter would certainly proved to be invaluable to me and other curious and aspiring students out there. For this reason, I sincerely hope that my recommendations would be heeded. Thank you.
Hi Iris! I'm planning on doing a video on this. Stay tuned, future abogada! ;)
Crim law for the win talaga atty e! 🤯🤪 need talaga imemorize since ang tricky nya dahil sa mga elements hayy
Haha, Carrel! AMEN 😂 Super accurate yung choices of emoji hahahaha!
After my advance reading to parcor law, your UA-cam channel is like my kind of break. 😂
It motivates me, thank you po. 😘
Thank you Rizza! Push! 😊
I miss your vlog, Atty. Tina!
Happy to know you like them, James! Thank you! 🙂
Another helpful video from you♡♡~~
I hope you see this and I'm not sure if you've discussed this before but is it advisable to buy books or just borrow? What are the pros and cons if you buy your own law books?(and vice versa).
Hi Miles, I'd definitely advise you to buy your own books, or if too expensive, which is one of the cons, then just have the books photocopied and ring bound (I would do that a lot back then, to save money). For maximum learning, it's very important that you get to write on, highlight, mark, and sometimes even dog-ear the pages of your books/photocopied materials. You would be too shy to do that with a book which you knew you had to return. So at the very least, go for your own photocopies :)
@@TinaAmadorRobles I knew you would say that😊 I hope i can finally convince my mom with your reply Atty. Thank you so much. I'm a new subscriber btw, but I'm already admiring your healthy and active lifestyle💞😘
Hi po Atty!!! I've been enjoying your vids ever since I subscribed your channel, your words truly inspires us to pursue law school.
Question lang po, what is your recommended books for us incoming law students? Thank Youuuu
Hello! I wouldn't recommend books for you yet cause your prof will do that, it could be a waste of money to buy right now :) But in 1st year we used Bernas for Consti, Reyes for Crim 1 and 2, Paras/ Tolentino for Oblicon, Sempio-Diy for Persons (and Rufus Rodriguez's Persons book had good digests in it)! They were great books. Hope this helps. :)
Hi, Atty! I’m new to your channel! Thanks for the tips! 😊 May i ask if you have any tips on highlighting? I’m afraid i might turn my books into coloring books 😅
Hi Marge! Highlight only the "magic words/ phrases" that you absolutely must remember. For the rest, just use a colored pen (I liked a green pen) to underline and encircle! Simple tip, but worked well for me! 🙂
Thank you po, Atty!! Will take note of that! 😊
i remember taking a “fill in the blanks” midterm exam in persons and oblicon 🤮🤮 so nope, “you don’t have to memorize” is not true. Hahaha. Thanks for these tips atty! Time for me to memorize enumerations na talaga huhu
This cracked me up 😂 Rooting for you Joy!!
for pabor atty. baka pwede vlog about the art of storytelling for law school recitation.
Spending my nights up making highlights.even highlight my tab.. coz I'm so sleepy. Feels like I'm up everynight until 2
I get it :(((( Push lang!! :)
Hi, Atty! Can you do a video on your insights on law schools going online? What are your thoughts on what would change and what would remain the same now that law schools are going online? Thank you po!
Interesting! Will talk about this in my next casual vlog :)
@@TinaAmadorRobles Thank you, Atty!
Just Curious, I wanna be a lawyer but I lack everything I need to prepare to become a lawyer, will I still become a good lawyer?
How did you survive Taxation? Pls make a video abt this huhu
Atty can you teach me on how to pass bar exam?
Hi, Ms. Tina! Thank you for uploading this one! Been binging most of your videos. 😍
Can I ask just one question, please. Hoping na masagot niyo po (or magawan niyo rin po ng vlog)
Ano po kayang mga posible pang i-venture na trabaho once makuha na po ang Juris Doctor degree? Anong possible alternative jobs or non-traditional career path ang pwedeng tahakin ng isang taong may JD degree? Hehe. Hoping you can answer po. Bless you. Stay safe!
Hellooooo! I will make a video on this 😊😊😊
I wish you are my teacher in college law...para mahasa akong mg English 🙂 like you do..I already subscribe to ure channel. God bless poh atty....
its the " punyeta " for me. hehe
Thanks for this. Hmwuah!
Hi Atty! I have two questions for you.
As a former professor of Law, I was just wondering how you would grade recitations? =) I am a first year student in Law School, and I am still trying to figure out the ropes. Haha!
Also, when I write my case briefs, I usually have it detailed. However, when it comes to recits, I often have a difficult time remembering all the facts, issues, and held: as there are so many.
If you're wondering my style: After finishing my case briefs, I spend 3-4 hours rereading and memorizing the details before recits starts. However, when I am called, I suddenly forget the details needed in the case as there are so many details that I had just inputted in my brain from all the cases.
Do you have any tips? Thanks so much!
Hi, I'm a 4th yr law student. Ganito po yung tip na binigay samin ng prof when reading a case:
1. Find the issue relevant to the subject, especially to the topic.
2. Read the SC decision
3. Then read the facts
In my opinion, before doing all of these steps, read the digest first to have an overview of the case. Halo-halo kasing subjects sa isang case, like remedial, criminal and civil.
Better to read the SCRA book din dahil yung doctrine ay nasa start ng pages.
Always re-read and understand the SC decision or the doctrine of the case.
Hope this helps. Good luck! :)
@@czarinajoypena7716 Thank u so much po! =)
so pretty naman this lawyer, especially in between the ears!
Too kind. Thank you 🙂
Hello, Atty. Tina! 😊 Is it wise to invest and get a San beda red note even if I'm just about to enter law school? Thank you 💓
Hello! Don't yet. Allow yourself to get your study rhythm going first- get accustomed to reading your codals, cases, and commentaries- before you add another material to your list. SBRN is very helpful for memorizing enumerations, for midterms/finals, and for bar review. But I wouldn't recommend it for day-to-day studying for freshmen because you'll still be learning how to deal with the heavy reading assignments from the 3 Cs. Adding SBRN would be confusing for the daily grind. But I would still use it for memorizing enumerations and studying for midterms/finals, even if I were a freshie :)
@@TinaAmadorRobles Thank you so much, Atty! :) I really appreciate na kahit busy ka, you find time to reply and educate me
First❣️
🖤🖤🖤
Can you do a vlog po about your pov regarding online law class? Thanks! 😊
@@jessabajado7655 Interesting! Will talk about this in my next casual vlog :)
@@TinaAmadorRobles thank you po! can't wait 😍
Just a question Atty. Tina, would you suggest using the San Beda Red Notes for law students on daily law school grind? Thanks!
Atty. Tina talked about the San Beda Red Notes in one of her previous videos.
Hi Shane, I'd suggest it only for memorizing enumerations and simplified case doctrines, and for studying for midterms/finals/bar exams. Ideally, you would study it alongside your main materials (codal, commentary, cases) for the daily grind, but I know that adding another material to the mix may be too much for some law students. I always had SBRN for major subjects as backup material, but didn't get to use them all the time because yun nga, dami nang ibang inaaral. Heavy use talaga was during midterms, finals, and- the heaviest of all- bar exams. I swear, study it for bar exams. Best of luck! 😊
@@TinaAmadorRobles Thanks Atty! Stay safe :)
@@mwamwamwa100 Likewise, Shane! :)
Hi atty! Do you have any tips on making digests? How specific do they have to be? Cause it's hard to memorize all the cases if the digests are detailed. I'm a first year student btw.
Hi, The Lobster (interesting username)! Tips:
1. Make your facts, issue, and ratio detailed and specific, but only as to the main issue in the case. If you absolutely have to, you can include discussions on secondary issues, but don't make them specific. I would recommend making digests only about the main issue though (not secondary issues anymore).
This is also a good format to use if there are many issues:
- Facts
- Issue 1
- Ratio for Issue 1
- Issue 2
- Ratio for Issue 2
- Issue 3
- Ratio for Issue 3
2. Use bullet point format instead of long paragraphs.
3. A lot of the time back then, I wouldn't have time to make digests, actually. Instead, what I would do was just read the case, then write a 3-5 sentence summary on the first page of the case. It worked naman. Haha.
Tina Amador-Robles Atty, if you just mention the important facts and issues, won't the prof give you a lower grade because hindi madyadong detailed?
@The Lobster Are these digests you're being graded for, or digests purely for your own reference? I assumed it was the latter. Either way, digests should tackle only the salient, specific points of the case in relation to the specific subject you're making the digest for. They're supposed to be short precisely because they only supplement, and not substitute the actual case. I've been a law prof and had I required my students to submit digests then, I would have gotten irritated if they had given me digests containing irrelevant issues for our purposes. 🙂
Tina Amador-Robles Noted on this, Atty. Thank you so much for your time in helping me. :) And yes, it's just for my reference. I'm definitely still learning the ropes in law school.
Good pm Atty.
Good afternoon! 😊
Hello atty!
Hi Michelle! 🖤
Hello Atty! please react to "Defend me, Attorney" story on wattpad:) trending kase to:)
Hello, atty! 🤗 Kailangan po ba ng mataas na GWA bago makapasok sa law school??
Hi Micaella, in general, nope! But for specific schools, like UP, then factor yung GWA mo admission mo. They say entrance to UP Law is 50% GWA, 50% LAE (Law Aptitude Exam) score :) But others aren't strict about it naman
Atty, bar review tips.
Hi! I already have a video on bar review tips. Hehe!
Good afternoon Attorney! Is it okay po ba na philosophy or psychology ang pre-law ko? Thank you po 😊
Yes! Between Philo and Psych, I'd choose Philo. Trains you how to reason and to debate with another person. While I've said time and time again that undergrad course doesn't really matter, if you want a course that COULD help in law school, English/Philo are the best choices :)
@@TinaAmadorRobles thank you po 😊
hi po. Kailangan po ba magaling sa public speaking sa law school?
Nope! I'm not good in public speaking. What's more important is that you can clearly express to your prof what you're trying to say.
Maam, hinge po sana ako ng Tulong para sa lola ko, tungkol po sa lupa na hindi daw namin nabili pero may mga papel po kami, pero di kami paniwalaan.
Maam sana matulungan nyu po kami.
Yong lola ko po makaka explain ng maayos sana makausap po namin kayo trough Video call sa messenger❤️
Hello atty!!🤗 do you know a lot of people who took up civil engineering as their pre law? Hehe
I don't know anyone who did, hehe, but that certainly shouldn't stop you! You would be the first, if ever hehe! Good candidate for intellectual property practice 🖤
I have classmates who took BS Civil Engineering in college, they're doing good in law school. We also have a professor whose undergrad is BS ECE. 😊
I’ll record the “ay punyeta dami ko pang aaralin” then set it as my alarm tone hahahah
bwahahahaha!! 😄
3:42 hmm.. abs cbn?
Is it true na you have to memorize lahat ng batas ?
Oh goodness. Definitely not. There are so many laws that you don't even take up in law school! Saka mo sila mababasa pag lawyer ka na.
LOVED IT ATTY. TINA.
I HOPE MY LONG TIME DELAY WILL FINALLY BE OVER.IM ACTUALLY A CERTIFIED LATE BLOOMER BEC. THINGS DO HAPPEN TO ME LATER IN LIFE DON'T KNOW WHY...😆😆😆
so I hope its coming very soon for me! r.s.v.p. pls...
Haha! Starting late means you have more wisdom than your peers, Sir, which is a great thing! I am rooting for you. Best of luck :)
@@TinaAmadorRobles YOU ACTUALLY INSPIRED ME TO GET GOING EVEN IF ODDS ARE NOT IN MY FAVOR AS OF THIS TIME. YOU JUST MADE IT A LITTLE EASIER IN CASE I BE IN LAW SCHOOL WHEN U LAID DOWN THIS(memorization confusion) BY THE WAY I LIKE UR STAND ON ANTI TERROR BILL,BUT LET ME JUST SAY IF SOME PROVISIONS WERE TO CHANGE ex. anti teror council and some more, I PROBABLY WUD HAVE OK'D IT.
thanks for ur reply ma'am atty. regards to ur family and dogs😆😆😆
@@romanm.gallarin7588 It's never too late, Sir! Our dreams aren't going to sit around waiting for us to fulfill them, right? I applaud your determination to keep your dream alive, actually. I am rooting for you and hope that I will read a comment from you one day that you've finally enrolled in law school! :)
Re: ATB, I agree with you! If constitutionally infirm provisions were revised, then perhaps it would've stood a chance. As we know though, that discussion is moot and academic 😢
Stay safe always, Sir! My dogs say thanks 🙂
@@TinaAmadorRobles Yes you're so right Atty. Tina, I am really praying for that. ,
and yes at the end of my comment it says...
"undersigned,
