What is Paternity Cases in Philippine Law about?
The Supreme Court granted the petition filed by Narciso Salas seeking to dismiss the complaint for support filed by Annabelle Matusalem. The Court found that Annabelle did not present clear and convincing evidence to prove that Narciso was the father of her son, as required by law to establish paternity and illegitimate filiation. Specifically, the certificate of live birth presented was not signed by Narciso. The Court ruled that a high standard of proof is needed to establish paternity in such cases.
