ANSWER
DEFENDANT, by counsel, respectfully alleges that:
1. Defendant admits the allegations of paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the complaint.
2. Defendant specifically denies the allegations of paragraph seven (7) of the complaint
the truth being that the defendant the defendant lost his job from at the time they were
divorced and inasmuch as the latter wants to support his child, he cannot do so
because he does not have sufficient means to provide the daily needs and education of
his son.
3. Defendant specifically denies the allegations contained in paragraph 8 that the
plaintiff demanded support for several times from the defendant but proved futile
because the defendant is currently engaged in a part time job as a singer in a resto bar
and from his meager wage, he gives considerable amount to the child but such
amount is not enough to provide education to the latter.
4. The defendant manifests his intention to provide education to the child as soon as he
gets a stable job.
WHEREFORE, defendant respectfully prays that the complaint be dismissed for lack of
merit.
Other reliefs deemed just and equitable under the premises are also prayed for.
