Paano po magfile ng child support kung a case po is hindi ko alam kng san nagwowork sa abroad ang tatay ng anak ko. Hindi po kami kasal pero gamit po ng anak ko ang apelyido nia. Pwede ko po bang iaddress ang demand letter sa magulang nia dito sa pilipinas? May karapatan po ba akong manghingi nv sustento para sa anak ko?

Yes, every child has a right to receive support from his parents.
Hindi po ninyo puedeng i-address ang demand for support sa magulang ng ama noong bata. Una, ang ama po ay nasa wastong gulang na, hindi na siya nasa ilalim ng authority ng kanyang magulang.
Puede naman pong maga-certified or registered mail or courier po kayo. Magpa-gawa po kayo ng demand letter sa abogado (Puede sa PAO). Tapos, padalhan po ninyo via courier sa address sa abroad ang ama. Tapos, magpa-dala din po kayo ng registered mail sa last known address ng ama (doon sa bahay ng mga magulang niya, kung doon siya nakatira).
Tapos po, kung hindi siya magpa-dala, pag-uwi po niya, magsampa po kayo ng habla sa barangay. Pag hindi pa rin siya magbigay ng support, baka kailangan ay ihabla na niyo siya ng financial child abuse.

Magpatulong po kayo sa Public Attorney's Office.
