Amelia and Arsenio are married. Amelia went to the U.S. to work as a nurse in 2005. She left her two (2) children, Benjie and Cherry, 4 years old and 2 years old, respectively, with her parents, Danilo and Elenita. Later, because his parents-in-law, do not want to give his children to him, Arsenio, through trickery, was able to get his children from their maternal grandparents. Danilo and Elenita are claiming that they have a better right to have custody over Benjie and Cherry since they are financially capable of supporting the needs of the children. Can the grandparents claim back the children?

• A. Yes, because the mother Amelia has transferred her parental authority over the children in favor of the grandparents.
• B. Yes, because the grandparents are more financially capable of providing for the needs of the children.
• C. No, because parental authority should be vested on the present parent, Arsenio.
• D. No, because the children should be given back to their mother considering that being both less that 7 years of age, their mother must have custody over the children.
