General rule ito. I-check muna kung tugma ang mahahalagang facts bago gumawa ng desisyon.
- Pareho ba ang role o relationship ng parties?
- Tugma ba ang dates, amount, notices, at documents?
- May court, barangay, police, o agency paper ba?
- May deadline, hearing, arrest, eviction, o urgent risk ba?
Kapag hindi tugma ang facts: huwag i-assume na pareho ang legal result. Itanong ang exact situation o kumuha ng legal help.
