Over the years, I’ve conducted seminars for churches, Bible schools, and groups of pastors. In these seminars, I’ve emphasized to the pastors that they must have a working knowledge of the Family Code of the Philippines.
Posted below are some discussions in my “Legal Updates” blog about the Family Code and other topics that are relevant to the Filipino family. Please post these links in your church website or social media accounts.
