I would like to say that when I began my relationship with Cynthia her relationship with her husband had long since broken up,
we did hear that her ex husband does have a girlfriend shes from australia by all accounts but we got no way to prove it,
and while adultery is illegal in the Philippines actions are very rarely taken, and almost never against the men in these marriages. The husband had actually asked for an annulment himself as he was in another relationship.
Sadly the husband in the case decided it was an opportunity to make money because, I believe, he thought I was a rich foreigner, and submitted a claim firstly for £7,000, and now £30,000.ie a
appreciate any help and advice that you can give i know im out of my depth here.
I believe payments were made to officials to have us arrested.
Because we have a baby daughter born and being brought up in a loving relationship it would be difficult to defend ourselves, and we both faced jail, with the horrific thought that our daughter would be handed over to Cynthia’s estranged husband under Philippines law.
I am sure if I was a Filipino this would never had made the courts.
We sought help at the British Embassy in Manila as well as human rights officials who advised us to leave.
In doing so, very large amounts of cash were demanded (illegally) for the proper and legal documentation. We were not fleeing justice. We want justice for our baby. We were fleeing corruption.
My mum is at her wits end and cries when she sees Janina on web cam and wants to hold her as soon as possible.
It has been a nightmare, but I cannot desert the woman I love and the daughter I love. We hope the British government has a heart and looks on our case sympathetically.and i have no money
asking for your help and advice
all i want to do is take care of my family.So once again please please help us on what to do
