Laws relating to family rights and duties,or to  

the status, condition and legal capacity of  

persons are binding upon Filipino citizens, even  

though living abroad.” (Article 15 Civil Code of  

the Philippines)

Q. Good day po Atty. Isa po akong single at nagkaanak po ako sa isang lalaki na may  asawa wala po sila anak ng legal wife nya. May isang anak po kami na minor age pa po  na pirmado ang ama nya sa kanyang birth certificate.  

Namatay po father ng anak ko last year at may naiwan po sya ari arian like  bukirin, sasakyan, kalabaw at benefits sa goverment, may sakahan na ipinamana  ang father nya sa father ng anak ko ngunit ang mga ito ay hindi naisalin sa  pangalan ng tatay ng anak ko at ang sasakyan naman po niya ay nakapangalan din  sa legal wife dahil yung wife po nya ang may kakayanan at may document para sa  paglabas ng sasakyan. Ano po ba hakbang ang mga dapat kong gawin may  karapatan po ba humabol ang anak ko sa mga ari arian naiwan ng father nya sa  kanyang legal wife. Ano ano po ba ang mga dapat kong habulin para sa anak  namin? Respectfully Michel. 

ANS: Base sa kwento mo at kung wala ng mga magulang ang ama ng anak mo, ang maituturing  na mga compulsory heirs ng namatay ay ung surviving spouse at  ang anak na namatay na ama  ng inyong anak ay maituturing na mga compulsory heirs although ung anak ninyo at maituturing  na isang illegitimate child . At bilang mga compulsory heirs ay entitled silang humalili sa mga  naiwang ari-arian ng namatay tulad mga nabanggit mo kasama na ung mga government benefits  ng namatay na ama ng inyong illegitimate child.  

Ang sabi ng batas ang legitime ng surviving spouse ay kapareho ng legitime or mana ng  legitimate child. Ung legitme naman or mana ng illegitimate child ay katumbas lamang ng ½ ng  mana ng legitimate child or surviving spouse. For Example pag ang legitime ng surviving  spouse/legitimate child is P1M, ung legitime or mana ng illegitimate child is only the equivalent  of ½ or P500K lang. 

Kung ipagkakait sa inyong ana kung kanyang mana, ay maari mag file ng Petition ang inyong  anak sa korte for Judicial Settlement and Partition of the Estate upang sa ganoon ay ung  nararapat na mana or legitime ng inyong anak ay maipag ka loob sa kanya ng sang ayon sa batas.
