If 25 or younger yong isa, parental advice ng parents niya is required. <br />Kung 25 yong isa at 15 yong isa, kahit merong parental consent yong 15-year-old, hindi puedeng ikasal. 18 year old ang minimum.<br />Kung 25 and older ang isa at 35 and older yong isa (10-year gap), they're free to marry, kasi 25 and older ay wala nang parental consent or advice na required.

But I've started reading about laws that might relate to what happened, like rape, seduction, corruption of minors and acts of lasciviousness.<br />Based on the Anti-Rape Law of 1997, your sister's case cannot be rape because you said she did it willingly and she's not under 12 years of age.<br />About seduction and corruption of minors, her case might fall under these, depending on the status or position of the boyfriend in relation to your young sister, or if the boyfriend deceived your sister. <br />Remember also that in court, you have to prove beyond doubt the presence of deceit, or abuse of authority or power over your sister.<br />You should ask for advice from your parents. Consider also the situation of your young sister. Will she be strong enough to survive the effects of being shamed by the public, in case shaming occurs? What if the boyfriend's relatives and friends shame her on Facebook? Can she take it? Or you can demand (under threat of filing a case) the boyfriend and his family to come to an agreement that they spend for all pre-natal and maternity expenses and financial support in case this results to pregnancy. Seek advice from your parents and other loving trusted relatives that have authority. I hope you've already prayed and you continue to pray. And I hope you get the best advice from your parents or trusted relatives or other persons in authority (depending on how public you allow this situation to get).<br /><br />Here's a copy of Title Three of TITLE ELEVEN of The Revised Penal Code that might be relevant to your sister's case.<br />The Revised Penal Code (Act No. 3815, s. 1930)<br /><br />TITLE ELEVEN <br />Crimes Against Chastity<br /><br />CHAPTER THREE<br />Seduction, Corruption of Minors and White Slave Trade<br /><br />ARTICLE 337. Qualified Seduction. — The seduction of a virgin over twelve years and under eighteen years of age, committed by any person in public authority, priest, house-servant, domestic, guardian, teacher, or any person who, in any capacity, shall be entrusted with the education or custody of the woman seduced, shall be punished by prisión correccional in its minimum and medium periods.<br /><br />The penalty next higher in degree shall be imposed upon any person who shall seduce his sister or descendant, whether or not she be a virgin or over eighteen years of age.<br /><br />Under the provisions of this Chapter, seduction is committed when the offender has carnal knowledge of any of the persons and under the circumstances described herein.<br /><br />ARTICLE 338. Simple Seduction. — The seduction of a woman who is single or a widow of good reputation, over twelve but under eighteen years of age, committed by means of deceit, shall be punished by arresto mayor.<br /><br />ARTICLE 339. Acts of Lasciviousness with the Consent of the Offended Party. — The penalty of arresto mayor shall be imposed to punish any other acts of lasciviousness committed by the same persons and the same circumstances as those provided in articles 337 and 338.<br /><br />ARTICLE 340. Corruption of Minors. — Any person who shall habitually or with abuse of authority or confidence, promote or facilitate the prostitution or corruption of persons underage to satisfy the lust of another, shall be punished by prisión correccional in its minimum and medium periods, and if the culprit be a public officer, he shall also suffer the penalty of temporary absolute disqualification.<br /><br />ARTICLE 341. White Slave Trade. — The penalty of prisión correccional in its medium and maximum periods shall be imposed upon any person who, in any manner, or under any pretext, shall engage in the business or shall profit by prostitution or shall enlist the services of women for the purpose of prostitution.Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08950015814647239197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010846084251267752.post-73618468084179359462016-10-02T17:27:41.317+08:002016-10-02T17:27:41.317+08:00And if we can, then what case/s?And if we can, then what case/s?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150692952146044816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010846084251267752.post-9824124095401656732016-10-02T17:25:59.460+08:002016-10-02T17:25:59.460+08:00Ma'am, my sister is 17 years old.

I thought maybe I missed the specifics during all the media coverage before and after President Rodys innauguration, but I see, we all have to wait a bit. But, as you said, many villages and towns have their own rules, and now they started to enforce them. In my village, it's 10 PM for teens, but nobody was sure about the young adults (students) who play and talk until the wee hours on a Friday and Saturday night.rightbrainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02801684934729973798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010846084251267752.post-3296763293324086872016-07-09T07:33:07.036+08:002016-07-09T07:33:07.036+08:00Hi rightbrainer: Pres Duterte talked about his cur...<b>Hi rightbrainer</b>: Pres Duterte talked about his curfew plans during his election campaign and before his June 30 inauguration, but has not yet issued an order regarding this. So let's wait for the specifics -- what time, what age, what boundaries. <br />What's not well-known is that before Duterte's curfew pronouncements, many barangays and cities already have their own curfew ordinances, but they were not implementing them. It was only after Duterte won that they began to re-implement their own curfew ordinances. Duterte mentioned the word "unaccompanied minors" so maybe if there are adults supervising the barangay games late at night, then it could be an exception.Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08950015814647239197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010846084251267752.post-64316227349413223822016-07-08T22:06:58.105+08:002016-07-08T22:06:58.105+08:00Does the youth curfew of President Rody Duterte ap...Does the youth curfew of President Rody Duterte apply to kids 18 and under?
