Para ma-enlighten tayong lahat kung anu-ano ang mga nasa batas ukol sa kasal, hiwalayan, anak, at adoption.
Thank you dear for having this thread.Nabasa ko po kaso iba ang tanong
ko,but trying to ask lang.
More than ten years been married with my husband.Nalaman ko lang
lately na may dalawa syang anak out of wedluck na nasa atin.
Malalaki na,..Nagtataka po ako bakit gamit nila ang pangalan ng asawa
ko? Wala naman daw s'yang penirmahan,s'ya din mismo nagulat dahil
he thought dala nila ang apelyedo ng Nanay nila.Puede ba 'yon?
Di naman sa pati apelyido eh,ipagkakait ko,kaso lang 'yong first baby
ko,pinanganak ko rin sa Pinas,by law kasi sinunod ko.Kaya my baby's
surname was my maiden name,and na aquaired lang n'ya 'yong surname
ng asawa ko,after we got married.
Any words from you or from friends?...thanks a lot
@ayanis marie,
sa pag kakaalam ko noon pwede gamitin ang apelyido ng tatay kahit hindi kasal nabago lang yun batas noong 1989.ewan ko lang din kung tama yun memory ko.kasi yun fren ko din may anak sa japanese hindi sila kasal. nagamit nun panganay nya yun apelyido ng tatay.18 yrs old na ngayun ,pero doon sa second baby nya hindi na nagamit .lumabas sa BC ng bata na illegitimate .apelyido ng nanay yun gamit ng second baby nya
meron naman isang kakilala ko..nagamit din apeyido ng tatay hindi rin kasal..wala din pinirmahan yun ama ..alam mo na siguro kahulugan noon diba..money speak...
yun nga lang kahit gamit nila apelyido ng tatay nila..wala naman sila sa kosekitohon..sabagay kasi sa iba kuntento na sila sa apelyido lang .. ligtas sa kahihiyan ba..huwag lang masabing anak sa labas yun anak nila..
pasensiya ka na ha..alam ko si firipinjin tinatanong mo..just want to share..peace sister:)
Isinilang 'yong panganay by 1991.So it means before the law pa di ba?
For them naman eh,wala na silang masabi sa Tatay nila dahil may sustento
naman sila.Mas pabor pa nga than my 3 kids in here.Kung mabait ba naman
kasi 'yong Nanay nila eh,sana sila na lang ano?
Hindi nga sila nakapasok sa koseikitohon,wala naman problema sa akin as
of now,I'm leaving it as past ng asawa ko.Minsan gusto kong kausapin 'yong
mga bata,lalo na this time maapektuhan din sila dahil wala nang good source of
income 'yong asawa ko,bumabawi pero may mga dapat namang bayaran.
Ako,may trabaho at least.Gusto ko rin naman silang tulungan kahit papaano.
Kawawa din pag di makatapos ng pag aaral,di ba?
Kaya lang,lumabas talaga 'yong pagiging bastos at hestyric ng babae kaya,
no wonder nga na inayawan na s'ya ng asawa ko.
(nakup,sobrang daldal ng mga kamay ko),sorry po,napaiba yata ang topic.
Anyway,Autumn san,thanks for the reply..have a nice day and Dios lo vendice
po...:)
actually magulo talaga yang family code na yan... tinanggal nila dati nung 90's di lang me sure sa exact year... kaya madaming hindi nakagamit ng apelyido ng tatay nila... ngayon ibinalik naman ni gma nung oct. 2004 ata yun... kaya pede mo na magamit yung surname ng tatay mo... yung iba na hindi naabutan tapos gustong isunod sa apelyido ng mga ama nila kelangan magfile sa city hall at present yung both parties with necessary documents...
Under the Family Code, illegitimate children follow the maiden name of the mother but this was amended by RA 9255 (An Act allowing the illegitimate children to use the surname of the father) last Feb. 2004. And guess who sponsored this bill? It's no less than the notorious womanizer, Ramon Revill himself. Below is the exact provision:
Article 176. " Illegitimate children shall use the surname and shall be under the parental authority of their mother, and shall be entitled to support in conformity with this Code. However, illegitimate children may use the surname of their father if their filiation has been expressly recognized by the father through the record of birth appearing in the civil register, or when an admission in a public document or private handwritten instrument is made by the father. Provided, the father has the right to institute an action before the regular courts to prove non-filiation during his lifetime. The legitime of each illegitimate child shall consist of one-half of the legitime of a legitimate child."
Q: So pwede bang gamitin ng illegitimate child apelyido ng tatay nya?
A: Yes provided the father expressly recognizes paternity over the child and the mother consents thereto .
Q: At paano naman i eestablish ang paternity?
1. naka pirma ang tatay sa birth certificate ng bata; or
2. may public document na inexcute ang tatay na kabilang sa mga anak nya yung
anak nya sa labas; or
3. any private, handwritten document signed by the father
Q: Kung yung bata ginamit ang apelyido ng tatay nya kahit wala namang recognition ng huli anong pwedeng gawin ng tatay?
A: Mag file sha ng action sa court (special proceeding ito if I'm not mistaken) to contest the unauthorized use of his name.
Sa pagkakaalam ko wala rin namang nabago kung pag-uusapan ang rights ng legitimate and illegitimate child, that is, in so far as their legitime (mana) is concerned. Kalahati pa rin ang share ng anak sa labas. The amendment was only intended to save the illegitimate children from humiliation and embarrassment brought about by their unique status.
Also, this applies to illegit. children born before the effectivity of the law so immaterial ang date ng kapanganakan. What matters here is the presence of the conditions above mentioned.
Apelyedo,...well,oke y lang if dadalhin nila.Ima sara kumbaga babawiin pa,
kawawa naman.
No worry din naman ako pagdating sa mga mana-mana kasi ,wala namang
maipamana..Kaya sabi ko sa mga anak ko,mag-aral ng mabuti dahil 'yan
lang tangi kung maipamana.Nasa kanila na 'yon kung pagbutihan nila.
Sa mga nag post,thank you talaga.See you sometimes on different threads.
Kita-kita-kits:) ...

Sa pagkakaalam ko, sa bagong family code of the Philippines, illigitimate child are allowed now to carry the family name of their father. If the child bears the family name of the mother after birth; he can still carry the father's family name upon the request of the child/party himself.
It is done only in the local municipal registrar. Ang batang gustong magdala ng apelyedo ng Tatay nya kasama ang ina ay pupunta lang sa Municipal registrar kung saan naka registered yung birth nya at mag sworn na gusto nyang magpalit ng apelyedo gamit ang apelyedo ng tatay nya. The local registrar then; will post the application of the party concerned at any public place in the municipal/city hall for 2 weeks. Kung wala namang other parties na magtutol sa kagustuhan ng bata na mapalitan ang kanyang apelyedo sa apelyedo ng tatay then, the local registrar has given the authority to change the surname of the child to that of his father... Hope it could help you.....
