Surname

Republic Act No. 9255 amended this law to include a provision which now allows an illegitimate child to use his father’s surname if the father expressly recognizes the child as his own in a written document. Thus, your son may use his father’s surname if the father signed the birth certificate of your son, or if he acknowledged it in a public document or a private handwritten document. Therefore, po.. pwede gamitin ni Baby ang surname ng Papa nya kahit hindi kayo kasal just as long as ni recognized nya ito na talagang anak nya at may pipirmahan sya sa hospital to make it happen. So, pagnanganak ang ina.. make sure nandon din ang ama ng bata.
