𝙻𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚕 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚊𝚢: 𝗃𝗎𝗌 𝖺𝖼𝖼𝗋𝖾𝗌𝖼𝖾𝗇𝖽𝗂
In Philippine law, jus accrescendi refers to the right of the surviving co-owner or co-beneficiary to receive the share of another co-owner or beneficiary who dies, when the applicable law or governing instrument provides for such a right.

𝙻𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚕 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚊𝚢: Nemo dat quod non habet

A person borrowed a motorcycle from his friend and later sold it to another person without the owner's permission. Under the principle of Nemo dat quod non habet, the seller cannot transfer ownership of the motorcycle because he does not own it. Therefore, the buyer generally cannot acquire a better title than the seller possessed.

𝙻𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚕 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚊𝚢: Ignorantia legis non excusat

A person borrows money from another individual and refuses to pay the debt, claiming that he does not know the law requires him to fulfill his legal obligations. Under the principle of Ignorantia legis non excusat, his ignorance of the law does not excuse him from complying with his legal obligations. Similarly, a public official cannot escape liability for violating the law simply by claiming that he was unaware of the applicable legal provisions.

𝙻𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚕 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚊𝚢: Dura lex, sed lex

It reminds us that everyone must follow the law, even when it seems unfair or strict. For example, a person who breaks traffic rules must face the proper punishment, even if they have a reason for doing so.

𝙻𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚕 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚊𝚢: 𝖠𝖻𝗎𝗌𝗎𝗌 𝗇𝗈𝗇 𝗍𝗈𝗅𝗅𝗂𝗍 𝗎𝗌𝗎𝗆
In the Philippines, the principle abusus non tollit usum means that the misuse or abuse of something does not invalidate its proper use. It emphasizes that the improper use of a right, object, or privilege by some individuals does not mean that others should be deprived of the opportunity to use it lawfully. In legal reasoning, this principle may support the idea that abuse alone does not make legitimate use inherently wrong.

𝙻𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚕 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚊𝚢: 𝙽𝚘𝚜𝚌𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚛 𝚊 𝚜𝚘𝚌𝚒𝚒𝚜
In the Philippines, the maxim Ejusdem Generis (“of the same kind or nature”) embodies the principle of statutory construction that general words following specific words in a law should be interpreted as referring only to things of the same kind or class as those specifically mentioned. Its application helps determine the intended scope of a law by interpreting general terms in relation to the specific items listed before them. The principle is used by Philippine courts to avoid giving general words an unnecessarily broad meaning. However, the rule does not apply when the law clearly indicates a different legislative intention.

𝙻𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚕 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚊𝚢: 𝖣𝖾𝗅𝖾𝗀𝖺𝗍𝗎𝗌 𝗇𝗈𝗇 𝗉𝗈𝗍𝖾𝗌𝗍 𝖽𝖾𝗅𝖾𝗀𝖺𝗋𝖾

In the Philippines, the 1987 Constitution gives the Congress of the Philippines the power to make laws under Article VI, Section 1. Congress cannot simply transfer its essential legislative power to another person or agency and allow them to make laws independently of Congress. This illustrates the principle delegatus non potest delegare, which means that a person or body entrusted with authority cannot further delegate that authority, subject to recognized exceptions under Philippine law.

𝙻𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚕 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚊𝚢: 𝙸𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚊𝚛𝚖𝚊 𝚜𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚕𝚎𝚐𝚎𝚜

In the Philippines, the maxim Inter arma silent leges (“In times of war, the laws fall silent”) expresses the idea that during periods of war, armed conflict, or national emergency, the normal operation and enforcement of laws may be disrupted or restricted by extraordinary circumstances. It reflects the tension between maintaining public order and protecting national security while upholding constitutional rights and the rule of law. However, the principle does not mean that the government is free to disregard the Constitution or act without legal limits. Its application must remain consistent with applicable constitutional provisions, including the protection of fundamental rights and the requirements of due process. The maxim emphasizes the challenges of preserving justice and legal accountability during times of conflict and emergency in the Philippines.

𝙻𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚕 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚊𝚢: 𝑵𝒆𝒎𝒐 𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒓𝒂 𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒆𝒔

In the Philippines, the maxim Nemo est supra leges (“No one is above the law”) embodies the principle that every person, regardless of wealth, power, position, or social status, is subject to the law. It reflects the constitutional guarantee of equal protection under Article III, Section 1 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution. Its application requires that individuals be treated equally under the law, subject to valid legal distinctions and the requirements of due process. The principle emphasizes that no person should be exempt from legal accountability merely because of their authority, influence, or position in society.
