BIRTHPLACE ERROR IN THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Good afternoon po..my husband has a problem to his birth certificate, in the upper part, sa may birthplace section po, nakalagay na province sa kanya ay Philippines tapos po sa municipality ay Metro Manila, dapat po sa province ay metro Manila, then sa municipality ay Manila where he was born. We went to Manila City Hall to correct the error, but they told us na di ipwede icorrect yung Philippines coz it's geographical..they told us that this is to be settle in court..please give me an idea po how to settle this..I already called NSO pero they told me na dapat sa ospital kung saan sya pinangank muna icorrect ang record bago nila macorrect ang record nila...ano po ba dapat nga, abogado na po ba agad?...how long will it take po para macorrect ang record nya...He's applying po passport kaya namin nalaman na mali ang birth certificate nya. Di po tinanggap ng DFA officer ang BC nya..

it also appears to me that the only way to correct that will be to file a judicial petition for correction of the records. you can try to convince the DFA to just require affidavits stating where he was actually born, but it is up to the DFA to decide that.

Good am po, mag ask lang dn po ako, panu po aayusing birthplace qo, fort bonifacio metro manila ang nkalagay, nag apply aqo ng passport it should be makati daw po. Pls help. Tnx po!

Hi po!
Me problem po aq regarding my double birth registration.
Is it possible that NSO can automatically cancel my second birth registration without court order since considered naman pong invalid/void na yong second birth? Medyo matagal kasi ang proseso sa court.
Hope to hear any comments from anyone who have knowledge about this issue.
Thank you po!
