CORRECTING ENTRIES-STILL EXPENSIVE

If you have problem like my daughter who is male in her birth certificate, it is most likely you'd spend one sizable amount of money to make the change. Filing fee for changing entries for errors in BCs is Php3,000.00, said Isaias Jarales, Initao's Local Civil Registrar. \ In his office last Monday when the Observer inquired on the subject, Jarales listed nine requirements to be submitted to his office; Birth Cetificate, Baptismal, police clearance, NBI,earliest school records, Medical records, medical certificate, certificate of employment, and Marriage certificate at 3 copies each! And upon submission, payment has been paid at the Treasurer's office plus 3 sets of additional papers which he will furnish to be attached, and then publication of the said change in the local newspaper.
