Did you get marry him only in Philippines, or both Philippines and Japan?

If you got marry him only in Philippines, your marriage is not effective in Japan.

You are not his wife and your kids are not his children in Japan at the moment.

It is still possible to take legal action to him for recognizing your kids.

Even he recognizes your kids as his kids, it is still far a way to take Japanese Nationality.

Anyway, get contact to your lawyer as soon as possible.

If he abandon you and your son 2 years ago and he is not sending you money, he does not want his son.

And you can't force him to recognize your son as his son at this time. Only your son can, when he is old enough and have enough money to go to Japan and file a civil lawsuit against his father.

Your son will need, (1) Proof of marriage for father & mother, (2) Birth certificate naming Japanese man as his father, (3) Company his father worked for, (4) His father immigration record showing his father was in Philippine,

and (5) your son will have to find where his father live and (6) ask his father to register him in Kosekitohon, and (7) if his father refuse, your son can file a civil lawsuit with the Japan Family Court. And (8) ask the Family Court to have the DNA testing.
