The David Scott case goes to prove, that Filipino law is not applied evenly and equitably, arguably David Scott may have committed an offence under Philippine law, hence the fact that they authorities there have tried to pursue him whilst he is in the country.

No doubt once he has left the jurisdiction of the Philippines they may not pursue him for an offence which is in fact a social construct of a set of laws which are belong back in the dark ages of all time.

The Philippines is awash with men who commit this so called offence of adultery every day, hundreds of thousands of men up and down the 7000+ islands are guilty of this very offence, whether it be by committing adultery with a young babae, or a.n. other's wife it is simply not treated in the same way as in our unlucky foreigners case.

It is in fact called Sexual intercourse with a woman who is not his wife under scandalous circustances, to prove the charge, if ever such a charge may be brought, 4 witnesses are required to substaniate the dirty deed.

Now in the case of a Filipino woman married under the family code of the Philippines, should she commit an act of adultery whilst being married to another man, she in fact is criminalized for this alledged offence, even if seperated by judicial proceedings or by common law consent.

In this case, Miss Delfino was seperated from the Filipino husband for some time, the husband worked abroad, and was in the process of petitioning the Filipino supreme court for a Legal Anulment to the said marriage between him and Miss Delfino.

The law states that any child born to a subsisting marriage in the Philippines becomes the child of that marriage, in our case here, although David Scott is cleary the biological father, this has little bearing on the case, since the Filipino husband is deemed to be the lawful Father.

If that be true, where does that leave Mr Scott, and now that he has escaped to Thailand, is awaiting the result of a visa appliction that would allow him to return to the UK with his common law wife and baby, where does he stand now ?

And will the British Embassy in Bangkok ignore the laws of the Philippines, and will an extradition request be made in respect of Miss Delfino, and to a lesser extent Mr Scott.

Certainly its hard to understand why Miss Delfino has been criminalized over her relationship with David Scott, and since David Scott is not legally married, it beggars beleif as to how he somehow is also being criminalized over such a dark age set of laws.

The fact of the matter is, David Scott is a victim of being a foreigner, if it were a Filipino, we would not be hearing about this case whatsoever, and where there is a foreigner, there is money to be extorted, the Philippines sadly apply double standards here.

If it were a man, its kind of laughed off, and that we should not worry because the man knows he cannot go any further than having ilicit sex with his young babae.

If its a woman, she is ostracized and criminalized, and can be imprisoned for up to 7 years if an offence is proven.

I hope David Scott gets the visa for himself and Miss Delfino and his child, I hope they get back to UK ok, and can start their life together, the embarasment is on the good for nothing Filipino ex husband, who looks kind of stupid really, the fact is, he neglected his relationship with his wife, who then went off and found someone to love her, who was shall we say, 10 times the man he was.

And to back that up with good evidence, just look at what David Scott has had to endure, he could have left the country, when told to do so by his British Embassy appointed Lawyer.

He was released on a technicality, known only to Filipino police as John Doe, when it was too late for them to do anything, he was then free to escape to other parts of Manila.

He could have come back to UK, he chose not to do so, he decided to stay with Miss Delfino, and come what may face the music, he did that, and lived rough in a room somewhere probably looking up the ass of a carabao, he lived on charity from his freinds.

He could have come back to the safety and comfort of a more progressive and normal society, hats off to him, he chose to stay and protect his family.

Yes I hope it all comes good for Mr David Scott, no doubt we will see things in the papers in due course.
