    If the amount is less than 100,000 pesos you can go through the small claims system where neither side is allowed to have legal representation. We used this successfully to get back a tenancy bond of 30,000 and surprisingly it took less than a month. You need to get the forms from your nearest courthouse and maintain your cool at all times. It costs about 5,000 to file but you can claim the costs over and above the claimed amount.

    I will second other posters reply, don't bother with attorneys here, unless you just want to throw your money away.

    Take them to small claims court, you're only chance of expedited justice. Fee will set you back in neighborhood of 5,000php. Also make sure you have a proper address to serve them, otherwise there will be additional delays.
