Hi

I would like to enquire if Maclean Robert Medida have exited the Philippines already. He is a British National but due to his abusive behaviour, I supposed to file a case and require him to support the children. But we no longer know his whereabouts. I also  need to know if he extended his VISA as we are in fear that he might appear in our house. 

Hoping for an assistance
