BatasKo

Ang Batas, Sa Simpleng Salita — your rights, finally explained.

Article 6

RA 386 · Civil Code of the Philippines

ELI5— what this means for you

You can give up (waive) your legal rights — but only if doing so isn't against the law, public order, public policy, or morality, and the right is not a purely personal right.

Official text — RA 386

Rights may be waived, unless the waiver is contrary to law, public order, public policy, morals, or good customs, or prejudicial to a third person with a right recognized by law. (4a)
