Angelica Jones Wishes for Her Son to Receive Recognition from His Biological Father
ANGELICA JONES – Actress-turned-politician Angelica Jones expresses her hope that her son will receive recognition from his biological father.
Angelica Jones is resolutely working to convince her ex-partner to officially recognize their child as his son by filling out the birth certificate, a necessary step for the child’s elementary school graduation and high school enrollment.
At the “When Magic Hurts” media conference, Jones shared that although the biological father had previously acknowledged their 11-year-old son, he has now abandoned any responsibility for the child and even refuses to allow him to use his last name.
Angelica Jones said “‘Yung anak ko, inabandon ng tatay niya. Pero tinuring naman na parang anak ang parents [ng tatay niya] pero patay na sila. Noong wala pang asawa ang ex ko, mas madaling magkaroon ng communication.”
“Walang problema ang pirmahan ng birth certificate. Nawala kasi ang birth certificate kasi ang anak ko, sa St. Luke’s noong pandemic so hindi siya na-file agad,” she added.
As her son prepares to graduate from elementary school, Jones expressed her desire to address the issue, ensuring that the child can smoothly enroll in his preferred school. Jones announced her intention to initiate legal action against her ex-partner within the month, citing abandonment of their child as the grounds for the criminal suit.
This offense is punishable under Section 4 of Republic Act No. 7610, commonly referred to as the “Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act.”
“‘Yun po ang gagawin namin, magfa-file ng case dahil sa abandonment ng child. Magsasampa kami ng kaso kasi nagbigay kami ng time. May paguusap between both parties sa side ng anak ko at sa’min na bago kami magfile ng case, baka maayos pa,” she said.
“Inabot ko na sila ang papel para mapirma for late registration of birth certificate. Ang nangyari, naglapse ang [deadline], hindi na napirma,” she continued.
Amid legal proceedings, Angelica Jones emphasized that her objective is not to seek financial assistance from the father; rather, she simply aims to ensure that her son receives the acknowledgment he deserves.
“Kung hindi niya aayusin at pipirmahan, hindi maayos sa mahinahon na paguusap since wala naman kaming hinahabol sa kanya. Ako talaga umaako sa lahat, ako gumagastos sa lahat, at wala siyang binibigay na suporta, ang kailangan lang ng pirma para sa late registration ng birth certificate para makagraduate ang anak ko ng Grade 6,” she said.
Jones also grew emotional when recounting her son’s distressing questioning of whether he was genuinely his father’s child. This poignant moment serves as one of the motivations for her determination to confront and oppose the father.
“Hindi namin kailangan ang pera niya, hindi namin kailangan ang mana niya. Ang kailangan ng anak ko ay yung birth certificate kasi doon nakasalalay ang future niya,” Jones said.sss
