Article 253, Chapter 1 of The Civil Code of the Philippines

MAIN TOPIC :  CARE AND EDUCATION OF CHILDREN

            Sub-Topic:  CHAPTER 3 THE FAMILY COUNCIL 



Art. 253. The family council shall be composed of five members, who 


shall be relatives of the parties concerned. But the court may appoint 


one or two friends of the family. 




DISCUSSION:

The Philippine statute is clear about the composition of the the family council. Members shall composed of five who shall be the relatives of the family involved. Why Relatives? Because they are the ones who really see the activities of the family and they are directly affected to every decision made. In case of  lack of confidence of other members of the family, the court approves and allows the appointment of any close and trusted family friend, maximum only of two.
