HELP !!! problem on birth certificate

**yebo** · March 20th, 2006 08:35 PM

affidavit lang ng parents saka 2 people na kilala siya, like former teacher from grade school. tapos i-submit lang yan sa nso. need lang na notarized yung affidavits.

yung sa city hall racket yun, bibigyan ka ng fake tapos pag present mo sa nso wala din yun makita din nila na fake.

that is BS. how can a simple correction in a birth certificate cost 100k.

i had an error in my birthdate before, i just went to the city registrar of my birthplace (binan, laguna) as far as i can remember it didn't cost me more than a hundred pesos.

Yung correction ng entries sa bc eh thru simple court proceedings nga iyan. P100K? grabe naman taga iyan, parang gastos na sa annulment of marriage yang ganyan kalaki.

baka akala nong nilapitan nya, ang pagkakaintindi, magpapalit ng kasarian,lalaki gusto maging babae, papa*** change kaya 100k.

Based on my experience, nagpagawa na din ako dati ng affidavit for passport kasi yung middle name ko nadagdagan ng isang letter. Sabi sa DFA hindi daw sapat yung affidavit na ganun, kelangan magsimula nga sa munisipyo tapos munisipyo ang magpapadala sa NSO regarding the correction tapos tsaka pa lang yan aayusin ng NSO. 100K is too much, pag sa prangkisa nga ng FX naka dyaryo rin yung hearing pero uubos lang ng 30K dati.

If i were you, hahanap ako ng malakas sa loob ng city hall tapos sya na lang bigyan mo (10K masaya na yun hehe) o kaya lapit ka kay mayor sabay sumbong mo na rin yung 100K person

ganon nga daw ang advice sa kanya ng ibang lawyer balik sa city hall nakakasakop kung saan hospital daw sia pinanganak, then NSO..may court hearing nga at publish pa sa jaryo..sana lang makahanap sia ng hindi taga sumingil na attorney ayon daw sa huling abogado na nakausap niya

i'm sorry to have to tell your friend that it's too late. he must wear a dress and live the rest of his life as a female

no offense to your friend boeing, but i am laughing out loud at his story :bwahaha: i hope it gets corrected soon!! that person who asked for 100k to fill out a simple bureaucratic change request will get his karma soon enough

bro -- check nyo muna ang entry sa central civil registrar. if the entry there has the correct gender, then you do not have a problem

however, if the gender entry at the central civil registrar is also wrong, then you will have to file a case in court for this type of correction and get a judicial order

RA 9048 gave the local civil registrars the authority to make certain types of correction without the need for a judicial order

unfortunately, section 2(3) of the said RA does not include corrections involving changes in ***, to wit

"Section 2. Definition of Terms – As used in this Act, the following terms shall mean:

xxx

(3) "Clerical or typographical error" refers to a mistake committed in the performance of clerical work in writing, copying, transcribing or typing an entry in the civil register that is harmless and innocuous, such as misspelled name or misspelled place of birth or the like, which is visible to the eyes or obvious to the understanding, and can be corrected or changed only by reference to other existing record or records: Provided, however, That no correction must involve the change of nationality, age, status or *** of the petitioner."

while your friend may have to go to court, it should not cost PHP 100K since i doubt if this will be a protracted hearing and more so, there will hardly be any opposing parties (except the solicitor's general office who is mandated to appear on behalf of the state and whose lawyers personally find such cases as a waste of their valuable time)
