Section 31(c), Article XII of R.A. No. 7610 states, "the penalty provided
herein shall be imposed in its maximum period when the perpetrator is an
ascendant, parent, guardian, stepparent or collateral relative within the
second degree of consanguinity or affinity, or a manager or owner of an
establishment which has no license to operate or its license has expired or
has been revoked". However, in the case at bar, the birth certificate of AAA
is prima facie evidence only of the fact of her birth and not of her relation to
appellant. After all, it is undisputed that appellant is not AAAs biological
father.
