Attorney Atheena - Legal Advocate, p. silang Street brgy. san roque, Tayabas (2026)

Q: What is the address?

P. Silang Street Brgy. San Roque

02/10/2026

“Attorney, gusto ko pong magsampa ng kaso!”

Wait. Paano natin ito mapapatunayan? ⚖️

One thing I always explain to clients: every crime has specific elements that the law requires—and those elements must be supported by evidence.

Hindi sapat na alam natin kung ano ang nangyari. Sa paghahanda ng criminal complaint, kailangan nating itanong: Pasok ba ang facts sa elements ng krimen, at ano ang ebidensya natin para suportahan ang bawat material element?

For example, kung ang isang offense has four elements:

Element 1 — Ano ang nangyari? Anong evidence ang susuporta rito?
Element 2 — Anong fact ang mag-e-establish nito? Anong evidence?
Element 3 — Anong fact? Anong evidence?
Element 4 — Anong fact? Anong evidence?

Sa initial filing ng criminal complaint, karaniwang kasama sa Complaint-Affidavit ang supporting affidavits, documents, at iba pang ebidensya na sumusuporta sa allegations. These are submitted to the Prosecutor’s Office for evaluation during preliminary investigation, when applicable, to determine whether there is sufficient basis to proceed with the case.

Kaya importante ang evidence.

A screenshot may establish a particular communication.
A receipt or bank record may support a payment or transaction.
A medical record may document an injury.
A CCTV recording may show relevant events.
A witness affidavit may establish facts personally known to the witness.

But remember:

Hindi paramihan ng annexes ang goal.

Ang tanong sa bawat ebidensya:

“Ano ang pinapatunayan nito?”
“Anong allegation ang sinusuportahan nito?”
“Which element of the offense does it help establish?”

Because the prosecutor was not there when the incident happened. The case has to be appreciated from the facts you narrate and the evidence you present.

That is why, when preparing a criminal complaint, I like looking at it this way:

FACTS → ELEMENTS → EVIDENCE ⚖️

Your Complaint-Affidavit tells what happened.
The law tells us what must be established.
Your evidence helps show that the required facts can actually be supported.

So kapag paulit-ulit kayong tinatanong ng abogado ninyo ng—

“May screenshot?”
“May resibo?”
“May witness?”
“May CCTV?”
“May dokumento?”

Hindi lang kami makulit. 😅

We are trying to connect your story to the law—and the law to the evidence.

Because filing a case is not simply about telling a compelling story.

It is about being able to support it. ⚖️

By God’s Grace.☝🏼

Hello! I’m Atty. Atheena Taccad-Dizon. ⚖️🤍

You may address me as Atty. Atheena
or Atty. Taccad-Dizon.

Hindi po Atty. Taccad.
Hindi rin po Atty. Dizon. 😂

“Atty., ang haba naman!”

I know. 😅 But I specifically chose it that way.

Here’s a little legal trivia: A married woman in the Philippines is not required to adopt her husband’s surname.

Article 370 of the Civil Code gives a married woman several options.

📍She may use her maiden first name and surname and add her husband’s surname;

📍use her maiden first name with her husband’s surname;

📍or use her husband’s full name with a prefix indicating that she is his wife, such as “Mrs.”

The Supreme Court has also clarified that because the law says “may,”

💥using the husband’s surname is a choice, not an obligation.

A woman may continue using her maiden name after marriage.

So for example, if Atheena Taccad married Adrian Dizon, she could choose to remain:

Atheena Taccad
or use:
Atheena Taccad-Dizon
Atheena Dizon

or even the traditional form contemplated by the Civil Code using her husband’s full name with “Mrs. Adrian Dizon”

I chose my last name to be Taccad-Dizon.

Taccad lets me carry the name and roots that formed me—the family I came from and the person I was before marriage.

Dizon honors my husband and the family we are now building together.

For me, keeping both is not about choosing one family over another.

It is simply my way of honoring where I came from and whom I chose to build a life with.

So yes, medyo mahaba. 😂

But every time I sign—
Atty. Atheena Taccad-Dizon

—I get to carry both stories with me.

And the extra letters are worth it. 🤍⚖️

Happy Fiesta, Tayabas! 🎉⚖️

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel, our city’s patron saint.

And because abogado tayo, may konting legal trivia kahit fiesta. 😂

Did you know? Under Section 21 of the Local Government Code, roads, alleys, parks, or squares may be temporarily closed for fiesta celebrations, subject to the proper authority and conditions provided by law.

So kapag may saradong kalsada at kailangan mong umikot today…

Huwag mainis agad. May legal basis ang fiesta traffic. 😂⚖️

May our celebration be filled with faith, family, good food, and the warmth of the Tayabense community.

Maligayang Kapistahan, Tayabas! Viva San Miguel Arkanghel! 🤍

PS. Yes open po ang office today!🤭

Attending the IBP Quezon Bench and Bar Dialogue ⚖️🤍

A good reminder that while lawyers advocate fiercely for our clients, the Court is never our opposing party.

A healthy Bench and Bar is built on professional courtesy, mutual respect, open communication, and a shared commitment to the proper administration of justice.

We may stand on different sides of a case, but we remain part of one legal community serving the same justice system.

Strong advocacy and professional respect can—and should—coexist. ⚖️

Grateful to the IBP Quezon Chapter for creating spaces like this where the Bench and the Bar can listen, learn, and strengthen the profession together.

By God’s Grace.☝🏼

A little rugged today. Maybe lawyering does that to you. 😏⚖️

Every case leaves you with something.

Some leave you flabbergasted.
Some sharpen your mind.
Some test your patience.
Some humble you.
Some remind you why you became a lawyer in the first place.

And somewhere between the pleadings, hearings, difficult clients, unexpected answers, wins, losses, and “Atty., may tanong lang po…” 😂—

you grow.

Not just into a better lawyer, but hopefully, into a wiser human being.

Because the law teaches you quickly:

You won’t control every outcome.
But you can always control how prepared you are, how you show up, and how fiercely you advocate.

So we study. We prepare. We show up.
Case by case. Lesson by lesson. Day by day.
A little more seasoned. A little more rugged. And still becoming. ⚖️

By God’s Grace. Always ☝🏼

My first birthday as a lawyer. 🤍⚖️🎂

My last two birthdays were spent recovering from the Bar Exam.

Physically exhausted.
Mentally drained.
Waiting. Wondering. Praying.

This year feels different.

For the first time, I get to celebrate my birthday with the title I spent years praying for:

Attorney.☝🏼

And seven months into private practice, I’ve realized something I wish I could tell the younger version of myself—

I was never late.

For years, I thought I was.
I graduated from law school in 2018. I watched friends and classmates become lawyers while my own life took a different route.

I built businesses.
I got married.
I became a mother of three.
I postponed the Bar.
I tried.
I stumbled.
I came back.

And somewhere along the way, I worried that maybe I had fallen behind.

But now, sitting in my own law office, handling real cases, standing in court, meeting clients who somehow find their way to my door, I understand:

I wasn’t late. I was becoming.✨

Those years weren’t empty spaces between law school and becoming a lawyer.

They were preparing me for the kind of lawyer I would eventually become.

I needed the entrepreneur who learned how to build something from nothing.

I needed the wife who learned partnership.

I needed the mother who learned patience, sacrifice and compassion.

I needed the woman who failed, waited, started again and learned how deeply she could trust God when things didn’t happen according to her timeline.

All of those versions of me walked into this profession with me.

And maybe that’s why, seven months into private practice, lawyering feels less like something I finally achieved—
and more like something I finally arrived at when I was ready to carry it.

At 36, I thought I was late.
At 37, I realize:

I was just on time.

Not according to my old plans.
Not according to anybody else’s timeline.
But according to the life God was preparing for me.

So this birthday, I don’t wish I had gotten here sooner.
I’m simply grateful that I got here.

Grateful for the years that made me.
Grateful for the people who carried me.
Grateful for the clients who trust me.
Grateful for the work that continues to affirm why I fought so hard for this dream.

And most of all, grateful to God for reminding me that a delayed dream is not necessarily a denied dream—and His timing doesn’t have to look like mine to be beautiful.

Here’s to my first birthday as a lawyer. 🤍⚖️

And to everything still waiting for me in this new chapter.

37. Attorney. Wife. Mom. Still dreaming. Still becoming.
By God’s Grace. Always. 🤍☝🏼

Ever wondered why the Philippine Bar has a “Salubong”? ⚖️🇵🇭

Because taking the Bar here has never felt like just another exam.

For generations of Filipino law students, the Bar has been the culmination of years of law school, months of intense review, and days of physically and mentally exhausting examinations.

And surrounding that experience grew another uniquely Filipino legal tradition:

BAR OPERATIONS—and at the very end, the BAR SALUBONG.

Long before group chats, online reviewers and digital Bar exams, law schools, families, friends, fraternities, sororities and fellow law students were already organizing around Bar examinees—providing materials, food, transportation, moral support and simply making sure their Baristas made it through.

And when the final examination ended?
They waited outside.

That became the Salubong—literally, a welcome.

A long-standing tradition where the legal community, family and friends wait for their Baristas to walk out after the final exam and greet them with cheers, banners, flowers, hugs and, very often, tears. Historical reports have described the Salubong as a traditional part of the Philippine Bar for many years. (Philstar.com⁠)

And after taking the Bar myself, I finally understood why something this elaborate exists.

Because the Philippine Bar takes so much out of you.
Years just to earn the right to take it.
Months when your life revolves around reading.
Thousands upon thousands of pages.
Cases. Codals. Reviewers.
The pressure of knowing that years of studying will eventually come down to a handful of examination days.
The physical exhaustion.
The mental fatigue.

The fear of failing after everyone around you has already sacrificed so much to get you there.

And then, after answering that very last question—
you walk out.

You don’t know if you passed.
You don’t know whether the answers you gave were enough.
You don’t even know yet whether Atty. will eventually come before your name.

But outside, people are already celebrating you.

Not because you passed.
There are no results yet.
They’re celebrating because you finished.
You survived the journey to that last exam.

And maybe that’s what makes the Salubong so beautiful.

After months of carrying the pressure yourself, you walk through those gates and suddenly see all the people who were carrying you.

Your family.
Your friends.
Your school.
Your fellow law students.
Your entire support system waiting on the other side.

This video was my Bar Salubong.

At this moment, I still had no idea how my story would end.

But hearing those cheers after everything it took just to get there—
I understood the tradition.

The Bar may be taken by one examinee.

But very few Bar journeys are carried by one person alone.

And perhaps that’s why, after one of the hardest journeys of a Filipino law student’s life, we don’t simply let our Baristas quietly walk home.

We wait for them.
We cheer for them.
We hug them.

And we tell them:

“Tapos na. Nandito kami. Welcome home.” 🤍⚖️

That is the Bar Salubong.

I will always be grateful for my family and my school Arellano law school for this 💛✨

By God’s Grace☝🏼

You think the studying stops after the Bar? 😅⚖️

It doesn’t. The stakes just get higher.
Before, you studied to pass an exam.

Now, you study because someone’s life, liberty, or property may depend on how prepared you are.

No grades. No suggested answers. Real people. Real consequences.

The Bar prepares you to become a lawyer.
Practice demands that you keep becoming a better one. ⚖️

Monday studying and case prep. 📚
By God’s Grace.☝🏼

13/09/2026

IT’S OVER, BARISTAS. 🤍⚖️

You did it.

No more reviewers tonight.
No more last-minute cases.
No more “Ano pa kaya ang lalabas?”
No more alarms telling you it’s time to study again.

You finished the 2026 Bar Examinations.

And before you start searching for suggested answers…

Before your group chats start dissecting every question…

Before you suddenly remember the answer you should have written…

Please—give yourself this moment first.

Go home.
Eat.
Sleep.
Hug your family.
Laugh with your friends.

Let your body finally understand that you don’t have to study tomorrow.

Because I know what comes next.

“Tama kaya sagot ko?”
“Bakit hindi ko naisip ’yun?”
“Ang layo ng sagot ko.”
“Papasa kaya ako?”

And I want to tell you something as someone who has lived through the waiting twice:

You cannot accurately predict your result from how you feel tonight.

Some answers you’re worried about may earn points.

Some questions you thought you completely messed up may not be as bad as you think.

And replaying every answer in your head will not change a single word you submitted.

Your examination is already out of your hands.

So let it go.

For months, your life revolved around becoming ready for these few days.

Today, you finally reached the other side.

Maybe you walked out confident.
Maybe you walked out crying.
Maybe you walked out thinking:
“Lord, bahala Ka na.” 😭😂

Whatever you’re feeling—
you finished.
And that deserves to be celebrated.

Tonight, don’t ask yourself whether you did enough to become a lawyer.

There will be a day for the answer to that question.

Tonight, simply be proud that you were brave enough to try.

You walked into those examination rooms carrying a dream.

You walked out having given that dream your answer.

Now rest.
The reviewers can finally close.
The highlighters can dry out. 😂
The laptop can finally be used for Netflix again.

And you can finally breathe without calculating how many pages you could have read instead.

Congratulations, 2026 Baristas.

For now, no predictions.
No percentages.
No “What if?”

Just:

“Lord, I did my part. The rest is Yours.” 🤍

Rest well.

You have earned it.

And hopefully, the next chapter of this story begins with four letters:

ATTY. ⚖️

By God’s Grace.

05/09/2026

Tomorrow, you begin. ⚖️🤍

Tonight, stop counting what you haven’t read.

You have prepared.
You have sacrificed.
You have made it this far.

Tomorrow, you don’t need to know everything.

You only need to show up, read the question, and answer the best way you can.

One question at a time.
One subject at a time.
One Bar day at a time.

Walk into that room scared if you have to.

But walk in.

You’ve done what you can. Now surrender what you cannot control.☝🏼

Lord, they have prepared. Tomorrow, give them calm minds, clear thoughts, and the courage to finish what they started.

Go get that Atty. you’ve prayed and worked so hard for, Baristas. 🤍⚖️

By God’s Grace.
