I am not familiar with the rules and regulations in the Philippines regarding travelling and child custody but I do know in Canada, I had to have proof that I had custody of my son and that my ex had NO parental rights before they would let me leave the country.

If my ex had had his parental rights, they told me they would need to see a notarized letter from my ex stating I was allowed to leave the country with my son before they would allow me to leave.

Good luck with everything, I'm sure someone will come along with Philippine's specific information to help you.

Standard annulment in Phil awards custody to mother. Phil is not a parental rights country. If unmarried custody is automatically with mother. So unless your annulment states shared custody I see no problem maybe we will hear from some who have flown out of manila soon.

Your welcome. I dont plan on getting any letter, I will be there to get my fiance and stepson in january and we will have the annulment docs with us. Phil is not a parental rights country only problem I know of is if shared custody. If you re not flying with your fiance be sure to read up on what will be needed to board the plane tho.

I called the beaureu of immigration numerous times,so that i can prove if they have the same answer for me,im makulit asked them the same question and they told me all i need to show them are my kids birth certificate to prove that im their mother.Its better to show them the anullment decree also and at least i got my ex husband consent letter.but they didnt mentioned to me about the consent letter...Call the immigration in their main office and in NAIA so that you can make sure of it sister!

I think it was a post from another country that got everyone spooked again. Philippines has no such law on this and if you are coming from there it's the only country that matters. Yes you need BC of child and I would have either a cenomar to show because if never married custody is always with mother or have your annulment papers that show custody is with mother. Thanks to those of you that have already done this for posting. ...Side note ...if not flying with fiance they are requiring a few extra steps when he buys the tickets and you need a copy of his credit card used for the tickets.
