REDWOOD CITY , CA. --- Abet’s elderly father and siblings in America looked forward to the day when they would all be together. And Abet, of course wanted to be able to bring his daughter along. How would you feel if you were told that your daughter is not yours because the results of a DNA test did not match? For Abet, the news that Achelle could not be his biological daughter sent him into a serious bout of depression. Aside from the fact that doubt was cast on his fatherhood, the negative DNA results also resulted in a lifetime ban for Abet himself because of human smuggling.
Imagine the heartbreak and the anguish Abet had to go through. How can you smuggle your very own daughter? And how can the results of a test disprove your paternity, when you are absolutely sure that you are the father of your daughter? It was all so confusing and disheartening. Nobody thought that there would be a major issue (as paternity) that would create obstacles for Abet’s migration to the U.S.A.
It was after several years that the family got to meet Atty. Michael J. Gurfinkel. When the leading immigration attorney heard of Abet’s plight, he suggested that father and daughter undergo another DNA test. Find out how Abet’s story ends when hosts “attorney-of-last-hope” MICHAEL J. GURFINKEL and broadcast personality GEL SANTOS-RELOS bring you CITIZEN PINOY on Sunday, November 4 th on The Filipino Channel (TFC).
