ito yung sinasabi na "innocuous errors" in the birth certificate.

in a case like this, you DON'T need to go to court and file a petition for correction of entry in your birth certificate.

what you need to do is to go to the local civil registrar (LCR) where your birth was recorded and ask for its correction.

IF you're living in a place other than the place where your birth was registered, go to the LCR of that place and file a petition for the correction of your birth certificate. the LCR of the place where you are living will be the one to coordinate with the LCR of the place where your birth was registered para ma-corrected yung birth certificate mo. saka may porma na ang LCR sa petition. all you need to do is sign and pay some fees (di ko alam how much).

in all instances, the LCR will be the one to submit your corrected records to the philippine statistics authority (NSO before) para ma - corrected then yung records nila.

i have personally experienced this problem before AND kasama sa trabaho natin ito.
