Makukuha ko po ba ang mga anak ko sa pangangalaga ng tatay nila? Ano po ba dapat kong gawin? Nandito po ako sa ibang bansa ngayon, tapos ang mga anak ko nasa pangangalaga ng kanilang ama na wala na man trabaho. Tapos po ngayon sinasabi po nya sa akin na wala na daw ako karapatan kasi di po ako nagpapadala ng suporta sa loob ng isang buwan. Hiwalay na po kami at di po kami kasal. Hindi po kasi nya pinapahiram sa family ko ang mga bata..3 yrs old and turning 7 na po un isa all boys po mga anak ko. Ano po gagawin ko kailangan ba ma ako mismo ang uuwi at ano dapat po mging hakbang na gagawin ko..

Naku, I am sorry that you are undergoing this hardship. Mahirap talaga mawalay sa mga anak ang isang ina.

Sa ilalim po ng batas, kahit na kayo ay isang OFW at wala sa bansa, hindi po ibig sabihin na wala na kayong karapatan na inyong maka-usap ang inyong mga anak o di kaya'y ang inyong mga anak ay makita o maka-usap ng inyong mga magulang.

Dapat po talaga, ang mga batang mura pa ang isipan ay nasa poder o custody ng ina niya o ng mga pamilya ng ina. Ang mga magulang po ninyo ay mayroon ding karapatan bilang grandparents na makita ng kanilang mga apo.

You need to find a lawyer. Your parents have to consult a lawyer. Puede po silang magpa-tulong sa Public Attorney's office. Puede po kasing gumawa ng demand letter para ang mga bata ay maging available na makita ng mga grandparents. Puede din naman na hingin ang isang protective order para sa mga bata kung hindi sila napapa-ngalagaan ng kanilang ama kung ito'y walang trabaho.

Please tell your parents to see a lawyer so that they can obtain physical custody over their grandchildren.
