**Question:**
Kung mo voluntary resign ka sa company bisan ug nag work ka for 5 years, naa ba kay madawat nga separation pay?

**Answer (General Rule):**
Kung ang empleyado **mo-voluntary resign**, **wala siyay right sa separation pay**. Kini tungod kay ang separation pay under Philippine labor law ihatag lamang kung ang pagkawala sa trabaho kay dili tungod sa iyang sariling desisyon, kundi tungod sa employer or authorized causes.

📌 **Legal Basis:**
Ubos sa **Article 298 (kaniadto Article 283) sa Labor Code of the Philippines**, ang separation pay ihatag lamang kung ang termination kay tungod sa authorized causes sama sa redundancy, retrenchment, closure of business, o installation of labor-saving devices.

---

**Exception:**
Pwede lang makadawat ug separation pay kung:

* Naa sa **company policy** nga muhatag bisan voluntary resignation
* Naa sa **Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)**
* O naa’y **special agreement o benevolent consideration** gikan sa employer

Question: Atty, ganahan ako mother nga ihatag akoang share sa land nga ma inherit from my father adto sa akoang igsoon kay looy daw may Walay panginabuhian. Valid ba ni atty ?

Tubag:
Kung ganahan ka I-waive imoha right to inherit, make sure nga naa kay express waiver sama sa affidavit.

Kung Ikaw napogos o nainfluence lang sa imohang mama, then that cannot be considered as voluntary kay Dili mana imohang pag boot. So mahimo na nga invalid.
