Mr Scott met Miss Villamor through an internet chat-room when she was living in Abu Dhabi and had been separated from her husband for three years.
She became pregnant when he visited her in April last year. Mr Delfino withdrew permission for an annulment when he found out his wife was dating a foreigner.
Mr Scott flew to the Philippines see Miss Villamor at the end of last year and was stunned to receive a demand for £7,000 from Mr Delfino for “loss of face”.
When the couple refused to pay they were arrested after their home near Manila was stormed by armed police on December 30.
They spent three days in a rat-infested cell before paying £150 bail and £1,000 in bribes.
They immediately went on the run and were living in a derelict house when Janina was born.
They were horrified to learn that because Miss Villamor was still married when their daughter was born, the child was not legally Mr Scott's.
In March they caught a plane to Bangkok when police in the Philippines issued another warrant for their arrest.
Kevin Taylor who suffered a stress-induced heart attack in a South East Asian jail.
Kevin Taylor, has been held in Camp Crame prison in the Philippines for the past 20 days – but has not yet been charged with an offence.
he has lost a stone since entering the jail following his arrest for “illegal recruitment” in Manila on Friday, May 15
The father-of-two denies the offence, which involves companies defrauding job seekers with promises of employment overseas.
His heavily pregnant wife, Charlene, 30, said she feared she would be incarcerated after she gives birth to their third child.
Speaking from her Manila home, she said: “The authorities have kept me out of prison because I am pregnant but now they are saying I may have to go in while pregnant.
“Kevin has really been scaring us – he is in the regular jail population even though he hasn’t been charged.
“We are innocent and the law says he has to be charged within 36 hours of his arrest.
“I have sold everything – all the furniture, the appliances and even the curtains to get money, but now it is all gone.
“I need at least £5,000 more from somewhere, otherwise Kevin will be stuck in that jail sick and is likely to get worse.”
Mr Taylor’s family, who have lived in Stratton for the past 35 years, have been advised not to travel to the Philippines until any charges are brought.
His father Gerald said: “It is very hard for us, we are pensioners and have very little money as it is, I was thinking about going out there but have decided against it, I would not be able to do anything.
“Kevin left the country against our will. No-one wanted him to go.”
The Foreign Office said it had sent delegates to meet with Mr Taylor. The UK Embassy in the Philippines has also met with Mr Taylor twice.
A Philippine Embassy spokesman declined to comment. A spokesman at Camp Crane also declined to comment
I wants to help Kevin to raise funds
without money to support them in jail, ‘is a gonner’.
