Can normally find this out by calling your airline, from our experience, it is they that make this decision. Here we go again with that damned place of birth, even on the US passport. I know my wife could have taken her daughter back to Venezuela where is was born. But since is was born in Venezuela, also is required to have a Venezuelan passport to enter and to leave. They would let her enter as a minor, but would never let her leave unless she had permission from her biological father that isn't even living in Venezuela. Well she could, when she reached the age of 18.

I assume since your son has a Philippine passport, he was born there. You have to know the laws of your own country. Department of State website should have that information.

Our General MacArthur was very partial to the Philippines, in 1947 both Hawaii and the Philippines had the opportunity to become US States. Don't have to tell you the outcome, Hawaii voted yes, the Philippines voted no. A bit partial to the Philippines, have a wonderful son-in-law from there with four wonderful grandkids. LOL, two of them have black hair and dark complexions, other two are dead white with blond hair, but I love all of them.

Philippines voting no was also good for some US corporations, no EPA, ERA, etc., and could work those people to death for a couple of bucks a day. Found that to be totally repulsive. Like to think we are all people of this earth with a very common ancestry.

The shorter answer is yes, you should always have a note when traveling without both parents. Peace of mind even if they don't ask for it(which they probably will).

Country specific answer: NO you don't need it.

Since you are K-1 that means your child was born out of wedlock. In the Philippines you have sole parental authority over the child and do not need anyone's consent to travel internationally with him.

Still NO, he is a Philippine Citizen leaving the Philippines under Philippine Law.

Just wondering why you would need a travel consent for your child to leave the Philippines to be with the child's biological father?

I realize there are some nuances here that I may not be aware of...but won't US customs ask (I don't know if that's at the Phillipines or you come through US customs once here in the US).

I would think it would be best to have a note from the other parent always...they can be quite strict about insisting on permission from the other parent.

If you were leaving the country then yes but for a US Citizen child to enter the US no.

For a Philippine Citizen child born out of wedlock traveling with their mother again no.

How does that guy at the gate know that? And that is the idiot you are dealing with. Something I wondered about myself on this issue, this kid is a US citizen with a US passport, would the US consulate in that country be of help?

Another thing I find ironic is with countries that can't even feed their own people, would think they would be happy to get rid of another mouth to feed, but they are the worse. Referring to Venezuela on this issue. Even though my wife had a court paper showing her ex relinquished all of his rights to his child and proof of complete physical custody, they wouldn't let her daughter leave. Needed yet another very specific document from him with that permission with the name of the airline, the date, and the exact flight number. Wonder what would have happened if that flight were canceled? Cost me 800 US bucks to get that piece of paper, figured they didn't give a damn about this kid leaving, just wanted another 800 bucks.

It all ends when the kid turns 18, something to look forward to.
