Request for Cancellation

Requested from PSA by C. Bangero at 10:53 PM on Aug 29, 2023.
Purpose: Board Exam Application for Pharmacists
Date of Coverage: 09/24/2009 - 08/28/2023
Tracking no: #PSA-007688270659

Bangero 10:53 PM, Aug 29, 2023 

Good day, Ma'am/Sir!
Can I request the cancellation of my PSA birth certificate, whose place of birth is at Bunawan District Hospital, Bunawan Agusan del Sur? I have two registered birth certificates in PSA, and the correct one is the one on which the place of birth is at Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur. I have a problem requesting my PSA because every time I request a PSA birth online with the place (Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur), they send me the Bunawan one.I'm hoping you can help me with this problem because I need my PSA for the board exam. Thank you and God Bless!

Dear Chairah Gold Bangero Bangero,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Aug 29, 2023 10:53:13 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

You asked for Request for Cancellation.

Your FOI request is approved. 

Our apologies for the delayed response. 

As per policy of the PSA and under Philippine laws, the first incident of registration of an event, i.e., birth, marriage, or death, is the one considered as true and legal. Hence, the copy of the civil registry record which was registered FIRST will prevail. An entry, or entries, on a birth record cannot be corrected through the filing of the late registration of the same.
Kindly be advised that in case of multiple registrations of birth, the first or timely registration shall prevail. Hence, it invalidates all succeeding registration unless a court decision is issued stating that the first registration is canceled.
You may file a petition in court for the cancellation of the first/timely registration of birth to be able to use the second/delayed registration.

We would love to hear your Feedback so we can improve our services.  Kindly fill out the PSA Customer feedback form from this link: https://tinyurl.com/OnlineCSSForm.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Rene C. Mendoza
