Mindanao university ordered to close law programs

  The Legal Education Board (LEB) has ordered the Mindanao State University to close its law programs in all its campuses starting academic year 2025-2026 after it approved a resolution canceling MSU’s accreditation. The order stemmed from MSU’s refusal to recognize LEB’s supervisory authority and for asserting that it is not bound by the board’s orders, policies and guidelines on legal education. “The MSU is no longer authorized to offer the basic law program in the country,”  the LEB said.

SUGGESTED ANSWER: 


Yes, the beneficiaries of the insured’s life insurance policy are entitled to its proceeds. Under the Insurance Code, the insurer in a life insurance contract shall be liable in case of suicide when it is committed after the policy has been in force for a period of two years from date of issue or last reinstatement, unless the policy provides for a shorter period. If the suicide is committed in the state of insanity, it shall be compensable regardless of the date of commission (Section 248).

The insurer is not liable only if the suicide is an excepted risk.

In this case, not only is the policy in force for a period of two years from the date of the commission.of suicide, the suicide was also committed in the state of insanity. There is likewise no showing that suicide is an excepted risk. Thus, the insurer is liable.
