Fathers are not needed and unwanted. Child + Mom only.

Anyone ever challenged the legitimacy and fairness of the Child Custody Law here that the child presumed to have automatically chosen the mother if the parents split up? I know a illegitimate father challenged the laws back in the 90's and won visitation and parental rights. But not custody.

It seems gender discrimination and prejudicial to presume a law that the father is UNWANTED< NOT NEEDED< UNNECCESSARY< in the raising of a child. If this country is 90% Catholic...isn't it in the bible that the father is an important role of a child's life since conception? I don't see it in the Bible that a child should lose a father when the parents split or the father should neglect the child and run away.

Most filipino fathers would rather give up and abandon the child...less cost less drama less hassle...less time.

more time more energy more money for yourself....the mother cheers she has everything but...learns fast..

It's really hard and expensive and difficult to raise a child on your own. Most get help from relatives and family. No mother could just be absolutally alone raising a child with no outside support.

most filipino men then go around with the attitude they can walk away from illegitimate children cause it's culturally ignored as a issue or just negated in society. Most couples just break up and the guy walks free and the girl learns the hardships.

But some men pursue to be in the child's life...support...parent...be active...and the mother has been raised to view it is better the child has no father and the mother can do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in empowerment. Or to avoid drama uses the law to her advantage and kicks the guy out to avoid the regular challenges of raising a child with a guy. And the guy has no other avenue but an expensive legal battle.


And the one hurt the most is the child.

It seems this view was in 1987 under Corazon Aquino..in counter to many of the discriminatory and bogus laws under Ferdinand Marcos. It empowered women to do more and value themselves more but it seemed to also start discrimination against men.

As well as undermine women's rights and benefits as well.

Some foreign men have challenged the laws in court. Some win some lose. Some even gain full custody or lose all rights completely.

But it seems why is there a law to preemptively judge all men as abusive, neglective and evil or unwilling unable and uneducated and un-needed in the role of the child?

Legitimate or illegitimate?

illegitimate in a sense that feminism is just a dream from culturalist and radical feminism and the world has proclaimed since christ's birth, that it's entirely patriarchal.
