Sen. Lapid: Bill seeks protection of abandoned parents

[RMK711]

---

This is a stupid bill because there's already a provision in Civil Code that allows anyone to ask for support from their closest relative. Also, if you have to wait for a court order, then you might already be dead by the time the court decides on the petition because our courts take 5-10 years to decide civil cases

Also what if the parent was abusive to their kids and those kids ran away to live on their own, then this bill will now require them to support the people who abuse them. Not all parents are the same.

The proposed measure requires children to support their father and mother or other direct ascendants “who are in need."


Anyone care to clarify this part? Unsa pa man lain direct ascendants aside from mother and father?
This part should be clarified, basig maski kinsa na lang sad mukiha nako hehehe

This is the part where it will be difficult to prove who are one's "direct ascendants".

murag lisud ni da. dghan au mga situations na ma abuse ni, dapat ila na e trap.

The court may grant or deny the petition with due consideration to the financial capacity of the children to give the needed support, Lapid said.

dili man abi kay gusto mag pa support imo parents,i-grant na dayon..Klaro man na mo agi man sa legal na process.
Tanan man mo agi sa legal na process, I'm sure sa panig sa parents mo hatag ug reason why they need assistance, and of course mo hatag sad ug reasons ang kabila na panig ug why dili sila maka support. Bag-o pa man gud ni, karon lang ko kadunog ani. I'm sure mas ma klaro ni siya sa mga mo abot na adlaw..

about anang direct ascendents, kailangan na more explanation, pero I still like the Bill.

Lahi-lahi jud mga parents pero daghan jud mga parents na gipasagdan na lang which is really sad. Ang uban naa na lang sa kalye ga tambay.

i'm gonna have plenty of children....lol kidding aside, its a worthwhile bill...

hehe .. I know of a widowed mother with plenty of children. They love their mom that all are sending an amount to her every month. She lives comfortably now .. fruits of her sacrifices when she had to make both ends meet for the sake of her children studies and needs.

Another mother. Gasakripisyo tawon aron maka eskwela ug makahuman ug nautical ang anak. Misakay ug barko ang anak .. nagminyo .. wa jud mohatag regularly sa inahan, bisan ug nagkalisod tawon .. tungod kay mangigi ang asawa sa anak nga seaman kung mohatag kini. One time, I met the wife ug akoang giingnan ngano mag dawo man pag tabang sa iyang mother in law nga mao man tawon nagpaeskwela sa iyang bana gikan pagka-bata? Result? gi-away ko sa duha kay naghilabot kuno ko sa ilang kinabuhi ... haha. Nakalimot siguro sa akoang hinabang pud kaniadto para sa iyang kurso.

May this Bill be passed!

I approve of this bill basta SPECIFIED na FATHER AND MOTHER lang.

Paternal and Maternal grandparents... mahimo pa siguro. But not uncles/aunties.
