WHY IS CBCP SILENT IN MATTERS OF ILLEGIMATE KIDS? "LAHAT NG GIRLFRIEND KO PINIPILIT KONG ANAKAN!" NO WONDER THE STATISTICS ON ILLEGIMATE CHILDREN ARE HIGH IN PHILIPPINES BECAUSE OF MEN WITH THIS KIND OF ATTITUDE! THIS IS WHY WE NEED RH BILL. EDUCATE ALL FILIPINOS ON HOW THEIR REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM FUNCTION. THEIR VAGINAS, THEIR PENISES, EGGS, SPERMS = MILLIONS OF CHILDREN. CAN THEY FEED THEIR CHIDLREN? NOT EVERYONE IS LIKE RAMON REVILLA SR. WHO CAN AFFORD TO GIVE P1 MILLION ALLOWANCES PER MONTH TO HIS CHILDREN. IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH LOSING IN THEIR MORAL OBLIGATIONS AND SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE IN THIS COUNTRY? THEY FIGHT RH BILL LIKE CRAZY BUT THEY ARE SILENT WHEN IT COMES TO CHILD ABUSE, RAPE, ILLEGITIMATE KIDS, ADULTERY, INFIDELITIES ETC. GET REAL PHILIPPINES! Statistics: More live births, teenage mothers and illegitimate children recorded in 2008 THE NUMBER of registered live births in the country rose in 2008, alongside an increase in number of teenage mothers and children born out of wedlock, latest figures from the National Statistics Office (NSO) showed. A total of 1.78 million live births were recorded that year, the highest figure since 1983 and 2% higher than the previous year's 1.75 million births. One in 10 babies born in 2008 or a total of 186,000 infants had mothers aged 19 years and below, a 7.64% increase from the 2007 tally of 173,282. "The lack of education and work opportunities may have caused the rise in the number of teenage mothers. Also, teenage girls today are more open, aggressive, and liberated. The influence of media on human sexuality is strong, too," said University of Asia and the Pacific economist Cid L. Terosa.

What is Genelyn's family, not recognized in the law as "legitimate", really entitled to? GMA News Online examines the laws pertaining to families like Genelyn Magsaysay's. The recent tragedy that befell one of the households of Ramon Revilla Sr. has many wondering whether the wealth of the former senator and matinee idol -- either as future inheritance or present support for his progeny -- had anything to do with the death of his son, Ramgen Bautista (also known as Ram Revilla). In Facebook status posts previously left open to the public online, Ram's mother, Genelyn Magsaysay, revealed some of the financial woes of her nine children with Don Ramon, in particular with their "allowances." Authorities are looking into the claim by Ram's personal assistant that Ram Revilla had a rift with his younger siblings, Ramona and RJ, both of whom were considered suspects in their brother's slaying. But Genelyn has consistently denied that her children would resort to killing each other to settle their differences. If financial support and future inheritance were part of the stakes in this unfolding drama, what was Genelyn's family, not recognized in the law as "legitimate", really entitled to? The following is an examination of the laws pertaining to families like Genelyn Magsaysay's. Revilla Law on Surname of illegitimate children Don Ramon is not married to Genelyn, nor was she the only woman he had sired children with. He has had at least 72 children with some 16 different women. It is interesting to note that Revilla authored Republic Act 9255, which amended the Family Code to allow illegitimate children to carry their father's surname if the father had acknowledged them through the record of birth, public documents or private handwritten papers. "The child should not suffer the stigma of his illegitimacy," Revilla explained before RA 9255 was enacted in February 2004. Not only were Don Ramon's children borne out of wedlock able to use his surname (either the one he was born with, Bautista, or his movie monicker, Revilla), but RA 9255 -- popularly known as the 'Revilla Law' -- also benefited Genelyn who herself is the love child of the late Senator Genaro Magsaysay and former actress Lyn Madrigal, the same lola who has been seen in the news visiting murder suspect RJ Baustista, Ramgen's younger brother. Unions without marriage, property relations Genelyn had also posted on Facebook a photograph of herself with Don Ramon in what she described as a "consecration" ceremony in what appeared to be a church setting. Under the Family Code, such consecration rites not performed before a solemnizing officer cannot be deemed as a valid marriage ceremony. Thus no legal matrimonial bond is made.
