Solution

In the Philippines, the additional personal exemption for dependents is P25,000 per dependent. However, this is only applicable for up to four dependents and they must be the taxpayer's legitimate, illegitimate or legally adopted child who is chiefly dependent and living with the taxpayer, not more than 21 years old, unmarried and not gainfully employed, or if over 21 years old, he/she is incapable of self-support because of mental or physical defect.

In Mr. Juan Dela Cruz's case, he has two qualified dependent children from his legal separation. Therefore, his additional personal exemption is P25,000 x 2 = P50,000. His 21-year-old niece does not qualify as a dependent for the additional personal exemption because she is not his legitimate, illegitimate or legally adopted child.

So, the correct answer is a. P50,000.
