Title Supreme Court: Moore vs. Republic

Case: G.R. No. L-18407

Decision Date: Jun 26, 1963

Elaine Moore petitioned to add her second husband’s surname to her legitimate child’s name. The Supreme Court denied the request, citing Philippine law requiring legitimate children to use their father’s surname to avoid confusion and preserve paternity clarity. The petition was deemed premature as the minor could not yet comprehend the implications.
