Perpetrators of online love scams may held criminally liable for Estafa under the Revised Penal Code (RPC). Republic Act No. 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 increases the penalty prescribed for estafa under the RPC when the offense is committed through information and communications technologies.

The Supreme Court decides: Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) may still exercise parental authority and even sole custody over their children despite being assigned abroad.

In the case of Carnabuci v. Tagaña-Carnabuci, the Supreme Court held that Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) may still exercise parental authority and even sole custody over their children despite being assigned abroad. The mere fact that a parent is an OFW does not deprive them of their right to exercise parental authority or sole custody.
