Is there really a debtor's prison in the Philippines? by eric1008
I have a close friend who said her sister is going to prison for owing a bank loan of 100000 pesos. Do they still have such a thing for debtors? If she does get sent away, how hard is it to get her out? I really am worried about this.
Thank you so much the advice! You are a good person to educate me. I forwarded the information to her and the family. The Philippines is a lot like Mexico, legally speaking. Very complex. In the meantime, We'll see what happens to her. Read More

Wow. You need to relax. Nobody's looking for anything but information. Shut down a question about debtors prisons in the Philippines? I asked for information and got lots of it about a topic I knew nothing about. Which I really appreciate. If ... Read More

I appreciate your knowledge and advice. I got more information then I could hope for. I'm going to take a wait and see attitude with this whole thing. Maybe this is why the family in the states have stopped helping ? I don't get it because ... Read More

There is no warrant of arrest issued. They are giving her until tomorrow to pay the 45000. There was no mention of a demand letter served, either. Read More

Here's what the family emailed me. It was a bank loan for 100000 pesos. The 45000 p. is for 3 weeks interest that they are demanding, or they "take her to the main jail.". They also said something about the 45000 will "move the ... Read More

I'm emailing the family in the Philippines. They said something about needing to pay 45000 pesos by tomorrow or she gets taken to the main jail where it'll be hard to get her out. She hasn't paid interest for 2 or three weeks they tell ... Read More

I know that she lives in irosin, bicol and is poor as you can get. I seem to recall that her sister said she put the house up as collateral. Read More

She actually has a lot of family visiting her. It's just that I'm wondering if there will be anyway to get her out after she sees a judge? I'm wondering how they arrive at sentencing? Any Philippine lawyers out there? By the way, ... Read More

That's kind of similar to the U.S. They told her she's getting sent to the main jail tomorrow for not paying the interest for several weeks because her child is sick. Since I don't have 45000 pesos to send the family, I guess they'll ... Read More

I understand all that. She does owe. She's actually paid 15000 every week. I know her family here in the states and they've run out of money. Now they have her in the local jail ready to put her away for who knows how long. A mess! She ... Read More

I've been researching this all afternoon and your comments back up what I've been reading. They'll charge her with theft. She took out a huge loan of 100000 p. and cant pay it back. At least in the states, most creditors will work with ... Read More
