Q: What happened after you parted ways?

A: After we parted ways, I didn’t know I was already pregnant with our child.

Q: How will you prove that he is the father of your child?

the Philippines.

Q: What did you do when you learned that he was already in the Philippines?

financial support and denied our child, saying that he is not the father.
