1. SUPPORT; WHEN PAYABLE; DISBURSEMENT FROM GUARDIANSHIP FUNDS FOR EDUCATION AND CLOTHING. — Support includes what is necessary for the education and clothing of the person entitled thereto. But support must be demanded and the right to it established before it becomes payable. For the right to support does not arise from the mere fact of relationship, but "from imperative necessity without which it cannot be demanded, and the law presumes that such necessity does not exist unless support is demanded" (Civil Code of the Philippines, Annotated, Tolentino, Vol. 1, p. 181, citing 8 Manresa 685). In the case at bar, it does not appear that support for the minors, be it only for their education and clothing, was ever demanded from their father and the need for it duly established. Hence, the disbursements made from the guardianship funds, with the approval of the court, for the education and clothing of the said minors are not illegal and the guardian’s bond should not be made to answer therefor.

2. ID.; ENFORCEMENT OF CLAIM IN A SEPARATE ACTION. — The claim for support should be enforced in a separate action and not in the guardianship proceedings.
