Requirements of Notarized Documents, Affidavits, or Evidence

Requested from SEC by R. MENDUA at 01:15 PM on May 08, 2021.
Purpose: Public Interest
Date of Coverage: 03/01/2021 - 05/08/2021
Tracking no: #SEC-442218796646

MENDUA 01:15 PM, May 08, 2021

I would like to obtain any written, standardized, or adopted policies used by the SEC concerning the alleged requirement that documents, affidavits, or evidence be notarized.

There is not mention of notarization requirements on the SEC's website here: https://www.sec.gov.ph/lending-companies-and-financing-companies-2/complaints/

Furthermore, a reading of the Rules of Procedure does not mention any notarization requirement: https://www.sec.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2016RulesofProcedures.pdf

What justification does the SEC to ask complainants to notarize documents?
