noddle 468 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I have a question after seeing this in another post. (b) Any person who shall keep or have in his company a minor, twelve (12) years or under or who in ten (10) years or more his junior in any public or private place, hotel, motel, beer joint, discotheque, cabaret, pension house, sauna or massage parlor, beach and/or other tourist resort or similar places shall suffer the penalty of prision mayor in its maximum period and a fine of not less than Fifty thousand pesos (P50,000): Provided, That this provision shall not apply to any person who is related within the fourth degree of consanguinity or affinity or any bond recognized by law, local custom and tradition or acts in the performance of a social, moral or legal duty. Does this law say, that if I'm with a woman, more than 10 years my junior, then I could get myself into trouble ? and, does it also mean I can not go anywhere, or do things ( shopping, walking around etc.. ) with her 2 young sons, ( 10 & 12 ) Nigel Link to post Share on other sites

But of course having a girlfriend under 18 is also a no. Edited December 2, 2015 by Tullioz Link to post Share on other sites
Woolf 8,550 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Does this law say, that if I'm with a woman, more than 10 years my junior, then I could get myself into trouble ? If she is under 18 yes, if she is 18 or above no problem Please make a search for RA 7610 on this forums I am too lazy to find all the threads about this subject already here press the cogwheel you see at top right Edited December 2, 2015 by Woolf 1 Link to post Share on other sites

+RogerDuMond 13,820 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 If she is under 18 yes, if she is above 18 no problem Please make a search for RA 7610 on this forums I am too lazy to find all the threads about this subject already here press the cogwheel you see at top right If she has sons that are 10 and 12, I doubt that she is under 18. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
noddle 468 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 correct, she's 40... but was not sure about the 2 boys... Link to post Share on other sites
Skywalker 19,177 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 does it also mean I can not go anywhere, or do things ( shopping, walking around etc.. ) with her 2 young sons If you are not married to your lady friend, you are breaking the Law (as I understand it) by being with the 2 boys alone. It's not easy because I also take my 2 boys (both 11 years old) to the Mall, just the 3 of us, and apparently I am breaking the Law because I am not related to them. One hopes that common sense would prevail, but since common sense isn't prevalent in these islands, it's a risk that one has to quantify personally. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

For Real 3,253 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 You would have to be unlucky to be shaken down but it can happen. 8 years ago I was in your shoes (and have since inadvertantly declared i have broken this law in court whilst going through the adoption process LOL) and nothing went wrong. All it can take is someone in the greater picture to either NOT be thrilled in your relationship or think they can make some easy money off you. I am pretty sure no one in your situation (Children of SO) has been stung but you don't want to be the first. Gee i thought i posted in this thread guess i used invisible ink all the talk about law this and law that just keep your unit out of the cookie jar till the cookies are fully baked Go back and check on your cookies Smokey. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That Masked Man 368 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 As I understand it, both "twelve (12) years or under" and "ten (10) years or more his junior" are modifying the term "minor" so as long as everyone involved is an adult (18+) there is no violation. The kids could be a different story. As was stated before, it is not usually prosecuted, but potentially it could be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

tambok 320 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 On many occasions, I took crowds of street kids into a restaurant to eat. Sometimes that restaurant also sold beer but of course I never bought any beer for them. I just had to feed those poor kids. I was performing my moral duty! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
