Absence of Law in Romantic Movies

It's one of the famous cliches that the children of two single parents, who are dating and will eventually get married, will fall in love. And of course, as we all know, the problem that will surely arise is that somehow the young couple will be seen as siblings although by blood, they're not. Therefrom, the young couple will most likely be forced by their parents or by the community to stop their relationship asap... And the cliche goes on and on.

Technically, the Philippine Law used to allow this kind of relationships. These relationships can even go as far as getting married. But today, FYI, relationships like these are already forbidden. These are only allowed if the young couple gets married first before their parents could. And with this, we could stop the cliche of the love story.

Thank me for listening to my Law on Taxation (Bucotax) class even for just a minute. =) But of course, also thanks to my prof, Atty. Mejia.
