Not sure of the law in the Philippines, but generally abandonment is a GROUNDS for divorce or removal of custody. You don't file for abandonment. In some areas abandonment is the term used when a parent fails to support their child, so filing for child support would be the same thing.

If you explain what it is you are trying to accomplish here besides getting monetary support for raising your child we may be able to help more.
