My mom always says that he'll imprison him cause she said its considered "Child Abuse" and she doesnt like my boyfriend. I'm just 16 years old. the baby is now with my parents since i'm studying here in mindanao and i have to finish it. they also didnt give a chance to my boyfriend to play his role as a father thou he wants to be involve and take his resposibilities. they're threatening me that they'll put him on jail thats why he can't come near to me and the baby.please help. thank you.

You are lucky that you have a protective parents, you are just 16, and your being a mother at that age does not necessarily say that you are of legal age and able to support yourself and your child. The same with the 19-Year-Old father. Just follow your parents and finish your study. Kumbaga eh "May gatas ka pa sa labi". This is covered by Law under Executive Order No. 209 of The Family Code of the Philippines.

Title IX: Parental Authority
Chapter 1. General Provisions

Art. 209. Pursuant to the natural right and duty of parents over the person and property of their unemancipated children, parental authority and responsibility shall include the caring for and rearing them for civic consciousness and efficiency and the development of their moral, mental and physical character and well-being. (n)

Art. 210. Parental authority and responsibility may not be renounced or transferred except in the cases authorized by law. (313a)

Art. 211. The father and the mother shall jointly exercise parental authority over the persons of their common children. In case of disagreement, the father's decision shall prevail, unless there is a judicial order to the contrary.

Children shall always observe respect and reverence towards their parents and are obliged to obey them as long as the children are under parental authority. (311a)

bale pwede po nila ipakulong siya anytime they want?

Yes, if your BF is found to have forced you to have intercourse or made advancement to carry out the act of sex with you; unless it is consentual sex. There will be consequences and your parents will exercise their parental rights to protect their child.

Believe me girl. You are a child, even if your mind tells you otherwise, you still have many things to learn.

Finish your school and get a degree. You will have a bright future ahead of you.

Stop having sex; wait until you are ready to have additional obligations when you are older.

Anyway,@aubrey1ne if you will put your mind on these advises, you will end-up to be one of the successful Single-Mothers around; basically what @raheemerick and I are pointing out is your future.

Continue with your school and finish it.

Your bright future is the bottom line here. @raheemerick how do we say "Bright Future" in Makatang-Tagalog?

if im not mistaken my friend jd888.. maaring "magandang hinaharap" o maliwanag na kinabukasan? or pwde ding maliwang na landas tungo sa kaganapan" awww!! bright future na lng para maiksi. hahaha..

@aubrey.. ikaw na bata ka. una sa lahat, atupagin mo muna ang pag aaral mo ha.. ang pag ibig ay palaging nanjan. harapin ito sa tamang oras at s sandaling alam mo na ang tunay na kahulugan ng salitang "pag-libog" este!! pag ibig pla:) pero nanjan na yan. wla tayo maggawa. just enjoy the life my dear aubrey. may mga kaganapan sa buhay ng tao na nanagyayari dala ng kapusukan, may ilang kagustuhan at planado. may ilang hindi sinsadya at dla lng ng pagiging agresibo. maaring isa jan ang hanay ng iyong naging kapalaran. pero tandaan natin na ang lahat ng bagay ay nagaganp ayun sa tadhana. may dahilan, at may kalakip na pag subok upang tayo ay may matutunan. basta the best thing is focus ka muna sa pag aaral mo. yan ang susi sa magandang kinabukasan at wag yang pakikipag balentungan ang inaatupag mo. hehehe..hndi lahat ng kabataan gaya natin nila jd888 (nakz)... ay may pag kakataon na mka pag aral sa tulong ng mga magulang.. kya mas swerte ka at may pag kakataon ka. yakapin mo ito at gawing puhunan o panimula para sa kinabukasan.. di gya namin nila jd888. na salat sa kapalaran nung mga panahong nag aaral pa. kya eto ngayun.. sus... pa arti-artista na lng muna. heheheh:)

tama si kaibigang jd888. your so lucky na may protctive kng momy.. and your so lucky tlga dahil di kami naging kuya mo. if nag katon? mag tago ka sa pinangalingan mo. ibibitin kita ng patiwarik!! ke bata bata pa ang kire na! ahahaha

Hahaha! Anyway @aubrey1ne, do you want us to be your Kuyas?

@raheemerick, I researched, one of the most used in Katagalogan about "Bright Future" is "Malaking Hinaharap".

Sorry, Tagalog is not my Mother-Tounge.

I really wanted to hear @UnderDogHubby's take on this matter. He too, can be a good Kuya.

hahaha. @jd888 if "malaking hinaharap" ang pinaka malapit na salitang tagalog sa "bright future"? aba., eh bright na bright ang paningin ni underdoghuby jan ahahaha!!

BAkit ba ako napsali dito sa usapang to ha...may problema din ako hano.....pero dahil bata ang usapin dito.. sige pagbigyan.

bright future ba ika nyo -- MATALINONG KINABUKASAN ----
kaya nga sa sobrang paghahanap nag bright future nung ka live-in ko, ayon kumuha na mas mayaman sa akin heheheh

Kaya ikaw ineng, na nening nene pa... magpakatalino ka ha... para hindi ka pamarisan ng anak mo balang araw...

OK BA MGA BIG BROS?

@underdog. isa kang alamat!!! hahahaha

bale pwede po nila ipakulong siya anytime they want?

no, they would have to file a complaint at the prosecutor's office first and undergo the process of preliminary investigation. imo, he can be liable for seduction
