Mr Cruz is an OFW. He has a family residing in Pinas. Now, pumasok sya sa isang relationship abroad. Yes, may mistress sya. At proud pa sila sa social media particularly facebook sa relasyon nila. His family learned about it, so naturally inaway nila yung kabit. Pero mas matapang pa kabit. She wants to sue the ofw's family of libel. Questions: What legal actions should the family do? What rights do they have?

Idemanda po ninyo ng concubinage para ang OFw at iyong kabit ang ma-dawit. kasi po, kung ang kanilang extra-marital affair ay kanilang ipinangangalandakan sa madla, ito po ay grossly immoral conduct. kasi po, hindi naman maiwasan minsan, ang mga OFW ay nalulungkot din kung sila ay nawawalay sa pamilya. Kaya nagkakroon ng relasyon sa ibang bansa, pero, iba na iyong hayagan at scandalous pa ang kanilang pamamayagpag. Ito po ay isang crime punishable by the Revised Penal Code.
The best thing is to consult a lawyer. Also, mag-screen shot po kayo noong mga pictures na nasa social media. Kung may mga email, chat message at PM, please make screenshots of those. Para kayo ay may ebidensiya kahit na i-deactivate nila ang kanilang account.
Consult a lawyer.

Kung sa PAO po ba idudumog to ay libre po ba talaga? Problema ng pamilya po dito sa Pinas ay hindi na nagpapadala yung OFW kaya hirap po sila financially. May 3 anak po siya dito, 2 professionals na po pero di pa din kaya ang legal fees at isang college student. Maraming salamat Atty sa pagsagot.
