Jackie Acosta - my life, my rules

Hello!!! I’m BACK!!!

August 7th, 2009

How do I sum up everything that has happened to me since I last wrote something worth reading? Aside from the news that I gave birth, nothing much has happened. The same work stress, the same routine, the same everything; but constancy is something I welcome. It means that I am enjoy a stable lifestyle. Still, it’s frustrating that I still encounter the same problems and commit the same mistakes.

Of course, I would rather write about things that are informative instead of just babbling about same old stuff.

Hopefully, now that I do not spend the whole day sleeping, I will be able to write more.


I’ve been really busy with work, I’m pregnant and I don’t have a maid right now so rarely have time to answer questions posted through the site. I try my best to answer emails, though. The only time I don’t reply is when I feel that I’ve answered the questions here. Or maybe I did reply, but my email was sent to the spam folder.

For those who have the audacity to email and insult me because I didn’t reply to their emails; I really hope you find someone who can help you with the kind of attitude you have. I don’t spoon feed, and I don’t deal with jerks and nitwits. All the information posted here, were gathered through extensive research – done at my own time. I paid a lawyer to help me out, do the same thing. If you don’t have the money, go to the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) and ask for their help.

It’s so easy for people to post questions or email me, but I don’t understand why they find it so hard to read. If they are so determined to get child support or custody or their kids, why don’t they read the other posts I made or the answers I gave to questions in the past. I don’t understand why some people need another person to verify the information they already have - just for their own satisfaction? Or they’re too lazy to go over short posts?

I have disabled comments on the child support articles. If you need help with child support, please read the other posts or comments. Better yet, go directly to a lawyer. I have tried my best to help out; but there’s a limit to what I know and what I can do to help. I don’t have to stop for every dog that barks.


No, I don’t mean that you buy them designer clothes or every game console and toy available in Toy Kingdom. I mean that you should love them with all of your heart, and provide everything that they need in order for them to grow up to be good people.

It’s really sad that a lot of single moms forget that a good education is key to a bright future. They send their children to schools which I believe are not fit for their children. Read more »


We all live difficult lives, and don’t think that you’re special just because you’re raising a child on your own. So I say this to mothers who think they can get away with anything: “stop being spiteful and greedy, and start being realistic”. Read more »


For the moms who’ve been asking where they can seek help for support, you can seek out this division of the POEA.

Assistance and Welfare Division, Welfare Service Branch
2nd Floor, POEA Building
Tel. No. 722-11-96/722-11-82

You have to bring your marriage contract (if married), and the birth certificate of your child/ren.

If you already have a court order, you can go directly to the Docket and Enforcement Division. Sorry, I don’t have their phone number, as you have to go to them directly.

If you wish to contact POEA, here’s the POEA Information and Action Center (PIAC) number: 722-11-44/55.
