Question

The Given Subject: Legitimate and Illegitimate Children - Family Code, arts. 164-165 and 167-169, particularly on the topic of c. Rights of Illegitimate Children - Family Code, Art. 176 as amended by R.A. No. 9255

Julia and Mark were in a long-term relationship for many years. During their relationship, Julia gave birth to their child, Samantha. However, Julia and Mark never got married and eventually decided to end their relationship.

After their separation, Samantha's paternity was brought into question by Mark. He claimed that he is not the biological father of Samantha and therefore should not have any parental rights or obligations towards her. Julia, on the other hand, firmly believes that Mark is Samantha's father and wants him to fulfill his responsibilities.

Using the relevant provisions in the Family Code, particularly on the rights of illegitimate children, discuss the legal rights and status of Samantha as an illegitimate child. Can Mark deny his paternity and obligations towards Samantha based on his claim of non-paternity? What are the implications of R.A. No. 9255 on the determination of Samantha's status as an illegitimate child?
