Paraguay's president was hit with another paternity claim Monday, just a week after the former Roman Catholic bishop acknowledged fathering a different illegitimate child while still subject to his vows of chastity.

Fernando Lugo, 57, did not confirm nor deny fathering the 6-year-old boy, but read a brief statement promising to "act always in line with the truth and subject myself to all the requirements presented by the justice system."

He also appealed for privacy, referring all questions about paternity claims to his lawyer.

Two of Lugo's cabinet ministers started judicial proceedings against their boss on the latest woman's behalf, and vowed to order DNA tests if Lugo doesn't recognize paternity.

Women's Minister Glorida Rubin said Lugo later agreed to submit to DNA tests and talk with the woman to try to reach an understanding.
