Supreme Court: A child can bear the mother s surname
Feb 26, 2021 12:01 PM PHT
The Supreme Court has granted a child s petition to bear his mother s surname, ruling that the Philippine Civil Code did not say that a father s surname must be exclusively used by children.
Article 364 of the Civil Code says legitimate and legitimated children shall principally use the surname of the father. Principally does not mean exclusively. This gives ample room to incorporate into Article 364 the State policy of ensuring the fundamental equality of women and men before the law, and no discernible reason to ignore it, said a 15-page ruling by the Third Division, penned by Associate Justice Marvic Leonen. Associate Justices Ramon Paul Hernando, Edgardo Delos Santos, and Ricardo Rosario concurred.
