ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) - Paraguay's president and former priest
Fernando Lugo has recognized a second love-child. This time it's a 10-
year-old boy, born to a nurse in the northern state where Lugo served
as a Catholic bishop before renouncing the priesthood and turning to
politics.

Lugo's lawyer, Marcos Farina, says the president has told him to file
the paperwork needed to change the boy's last name to Lugo. His mother
is Narcisa de la Cruz de Zarate, the fourth woman to have filed a
paternity suit against the 61-year-old former cleric.

For those keeping score, Lugo has now acknowledged fathering two of
the four children named in paternity suits against him.

He also accepted Guillermo Armindo, the child of Viviana Carrillo,
after the woman accused him in 2009 of "irresponsible paternity."

A third woman, Damiana Hortensia Moran, insists that she had a sexual
relationship with Lugo years ago, but three court-ordered DNA tests
showed her child isn't his.

A fourth woman, Benigno Leguizamon, backed out of an out-of-court
settlement and renewed her claim that Lugo fathered her 12-year-old
son. Lugo's appeal of court orders that he submit to still more DNA
tests is now with the supreme court.

"Sooner or later the president will have to give his name to our
child, and I think to others as well," Leguizamon said Tuesday.
