00:00The late registration of birth certificate is a hot topic now. The process is being studied to avoid abuse.
00:08Here is the first news, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:10In the Senate's investigation on the identity of Bambang Tarlac Mayor Alice Ko,
00:19the late registration of her certificate of live birth was stopped.
00:24She is already 19 years old when she registered her pregnancy.
00:29The Philippine Statistics Authority is asking the Senators to stop the process and to verify it.
00:36If the birth certificate came from a liar, they can get a passport and they can say that they are Filipinos.
00:45That's right, Senators.
00:47According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the birth certificate is being processed at the level of the Civil Registrar
00:54and they have no participation in this.
00:56However, according to some Senators, it is possible that there are syndicates that are involved in this.
01:03The PSA is already studying how to stop the process so that it will not be abused.
01:09They are submitting only documentation.
01:14That's why due diligence on the part of the Civil Registrar to conduct validation on the supporting documents
01:25and the PSA will issue supplemental guidelines on delayed registration.
01:30According to the PSA, in 2022, almost 1.4 million Filipinos registered their pregnancy in the country.
01:39While almost 128,000 Filipinos did not register their 30-day pregnancy.
01:46In total, the PSA said, there are 3.7 million Filipinos without a birth certificate.
01:53The reason why a person's pregnancy is not registered immediately is also the reason.
01:59Some of them are often heard in the Quezon City Civil Registry.
02:03The parents of the child became worried or they did not know that it was not registered.
02:10For some, they are born at their residence, home births.
02:17So if that's the case, the responsibility on the registration of the child's birth certificate falls to the parents.
02:28One of them is Christina Alberto Melnida, 48 years old, who recently found out that she does not have a birth certificate.
02:37When I was in elementary school, I only used baptism until I finished high school.
02:41I only used baptism until I finished high school.
02:43When I was in high school, I only used enumar.
02:46Honey Rose has been registering her child's birth certificate for more than a year.
02:52For my child.
02:53So for your baby?
02:54Yes.
02:54How old is he?
02:55Nine years old.
02:56Why was he late?
02:57He did not walk when he gave birth to me.
03:00It is a basic right of all people to have a sense of identity, proof of identity.
03:08That would be the source of your all other basic and essential rights.
03:13For example, the classic example is financial assistance, education.
03:19The list of requirements for the late registration of live birth is long.
03:23This is due to the verification of the name and identification of a person and the place and date of his birth.
03:32This includes a copy of the marriage certificate of the parents if they are married.
03:37The father's certification is signed for the use of this last name.
03:41Baptismal certificate, school record, voter certification, medical records, barangay certification, and more.
03:49One of the reasons for the abuse is because the supporting documents may be insufficient or lacking.
03:56For now, we have studied and we will provide supplemental guidelines
04:02so that you can authenticate if these documents are correct.
04:08This is the first news.
