Legitimate and illegitimate children must have equal rights – Rep. Alvarez
This was stressed by Davao del Norte 1st District Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez under his House Bill No. 7500, which sought to amend Executive Order No. 209, series of 1987, as amended, otherwise known as the Family Code of the Philippines.“The bill seeks to remove the distinction between children born within wedlock and children born out of wedlock, formally known as legitimate and illegitimate children, as provided under Republic Act No. 389, as amended, Executive Order No.
“Further, it provides for the rights of children conceived through traditional and gestational altruistic surgery, an area that is not clearly regulated and this bill seeks to remedy that lack of clarity,” he added. The bill provides that the legitime of the children received from the respective estates of their parents shall in no way prejudice the ultimate successional rights of the children accruing upon the death of either or both of the parents.
The instrument shall be attached to the birth certificate and recorded in the Civil Registry, it said.
