What do you think are the risks of signing an NDA with INCult? (They want all of their TSV Volunteers/Maytungkulin/Free labor to sign an NDA even if they're minors.) - r/Philippines

Not a lawyer.
But basically this is a legal way of telling someone stfu. Either because you can't snitch on the corporate secrets, or you can't whistleblow questionable behavior, if INC is to be considered as the context for this NDA.
You always bring a lawyer to these things to read the fine print and make sure terms are just (i.e. no one gets f*ked over).
Kind of hypocritical from a religious institution, since iirc 'salvation' never had paperwork like this. The only org i know that can behave in a way like this (or probably even worse) is S c 1 e n t 0 l 0 gy
Not a lawyer in my country, but my layperson’s understanding of contracts has always been that there needs to be a bargain for exchange" between the parties, such as something bargained for and received by a promisor from a promisee. In other words, you can’t have a one-way contract. Both parties have to get something.
Also what kind of name is InCULT?!
- Not sure if you stumbled upon here from all but INC (Iglesia Ni Cristo) is a religious body in the Philippines, which has been involved in quite a few controversies.
  I’m trying to be unbiased but they really behave like a cult.
