Question

Legitimated Children - Rights of Legitimated Children

In a certain province in the Philippines, Juan and Maria got married in 2005. They had a son named Miguel, who was born out of wedlock. However, in 2010, Juan and Maria decided to get their relationship legally recognized through marriage. Miguel was subsequently legitimated following their marriage.

Recently, Juan passed away, leaving behind several properties. Miguel, as the legitimated child, is asserting his rights over his father's estate. Meanwhile, Juan's siblings are contesting Miguel's claim, arguing that as a legitimated child, his inheritance rights are limited.

Discuss the rights of legitimated children under the Family Code, particularly Article 179, in relation to the situation of Miguel. How will his status as a legitimated child affect his entitlement to his father's estate?
