Yes po pwede po. Kung sakaling magkaproblema someday about sa sustento ng bata mula sa father dahil hindi sa kanya naka-apelyido ang bata ay unahan mo na by asking him to acknowledge the child at the back of the Birth Certificate or through a separate public instrument. That way, makasal man kayo or hindi, maiiwasan yung mga issue sa sustento dahil lang sa hindi naka apelyido sa kanya ang bata. Good luck po sa inyong love life and may you make the best choice :) Now once you’ve decided to change the surname of your child to the surname ng father niya, ito ang gagawin... Birth certificate already registered and child is under the surname of the mother and a Private Handwritten Instrument (PHI) by the father is presented. You can use the surname of the father by applying the provisions of R.A. 9255. The PHI executed by the father should be the basis in order for you to use the surname of your father. Since the surname being used is the surname of the mother, an Affidavit to Use the Surname of the Father (AUSF) should also be executed with the civil registry office where the birth is registered. Who Shall File: Father Mother Child, if of age Guardian Where to File: Civil registry office where the birth of the child is registered. If born abroad with the Consul of the Philippine Embassy where the child is born. In cases of children born abroad, the birth certificate, shall be annotated by the PSA. Supporting Documents: PHI executed by the father AUSF
