19. A and B got married during the pandemic. They had a daughter named C. They rented a house and lived together until 2024, when they parted ways. A then moved to her parents’ house. Initially, B sent part of his monthly salary to A, but he stopped after a few months. For the next three years, B failed to communicate with A or provide any support to their child. As a result, B was indicted for economic abuse or violation of Section 5(i) of Republic Act No. 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act. In his defense, B claimed that he did not intend to withhold support from A and C, but since his parents got seriously ill, he had to support them instead. Is B guilty as charged? Reason(s).
