Legal Documents for Philippines
Create free legal documents tailored to Philippines law. All templates comply with local legislation.
Legal System
Hybrid legal system combining civil law (Spanish influence) and common law (US influence). Key legislation includes the Civil Code (RA 386), Labor Code (PD 442), and Revised Corporation Code (RA 11232).
Philippine documents draw on an unusually codified system: the Civil Code (Republic Act No. 386) governs obligations and contracts, the Labor Code (Presidential Decree No. 442) sets employment standards enforced by DOLE, and the Revised Corporation Code (Republic Act No. 11232) modernised company law — including the one-person corporation. Notarisation carries real legal weight: a notarised document becomes a public document with evidentiary advantages, which is why so many Philippine forms end with an acknowledgment block.
Each Philippine template in this collection is structured for that practice: contracts track Civil Code requisites (consent, object, cause), employment documents respect Labor Code minimums, and forms that are customarily notarised — affidavits, deeds, special powers of attorney — include the acknowledgment page ready for the notary. Fill the template in the editor, print, sign before the notary where the form calls for it, and keep the notarised original.
