I have a question....

 

My wife just delivered our first son and I want his name to be the same as mine.

 

Here's the scenario.

 

My name is JUAN DELA CRUZ and i want my son to be JUAN DELA CRUZ II. The clerk in the hospital says that it is not possible since my name is not JUAN I. And if i insist, she will put under father's name of the child as JUAN DELA CRUZ I which will be in conflict with my birth certificate.

 

She was telling me that this is the directive of the NSO with them. Can somebody confirm or enlighten me on what is the law concerning this.

 

Thanks,

Art. 375 of the Civil Code provides:

 

Art. 375. In case of identity of names and surnames between ascendants and descendants, the word "Junior" can be used only by a son. Grandsons and other direct male descendants shall either:

 

(1) Add a middle name or the mother's surname, or

 

(2) Add the Roman Numerals II, III, and so on.

 

Makikita dito na ang pwedeng mong gawing pangalan sa anak mo ay "Juan Dela Cruz Jr."

 

Apo mo ang pwedeng maging "Juan Dela Cruz II."

Thank you very much for this information. It really helps me understand.

 

"Jr." and "Junior" is different in terms of entry in birth certificate? So i must be careful if I use Jr. or Junior? tama po ba?

 

Thanks again.

But I dont think a person is precluded from giving his son a "II"... it only prohibit grandsons and other male descendants from using Jr. Ata.

I suggest she stick with Yolanda. That's her official name anyway. All other documents so long as they are private documents may easily be changed (scholastic records, employment records, etc) by way of affidavit filed with DECS, CHED, etc.

ipa-late registration mo na yolanda. Mas importante yung property kaysa sa mga senior citizen's and postal id. pwede naman palitan yung senior citizen at postal id.

Hi, I have a question here regarding dual-citizenship.

 

My uncle who has a son abroad has been going back and forth the US and RP as required by his green card. This year he is eligible to apply for US citizenship now that we have a dual citizenship law here in the Philippines. If he becomes a dual citizen, is he no longer bound to periodically go back to the US meaning he can just go there at his leisure? Thanks in advance. :thumbsupsmiley:

The purpose of the dual citizenship law is to allow Filipinos who have acquired citizenship of other countries to re-acquire Philippine citizenship and participate in a political exercise, i.e. vote in elections. As to going periodically to the US as required by the green card, that has nothing to do with and is independent of our dual citizenship law.

yung bang mga nag pa citizen sa ibang country na filipino e pwede pang bumili ng property sa pinas ????

kung hindi na sila Filipino, at gusto nilang bumili ng LUPA na matitirhan, sabi ng Batas Pambansa 185:

 

Section 2. Any natural-born citizen of the Philippines who has lost his Philippine citizenship and who has the legal capacity to enter into a contract under Philippine laws may be a transferee of a private land up to a maximum area of one thousand square meters, in the case of urban land, or one hectare in the case of rural land, to be used by him as his residence. In the case of married couples, one of them may avail of the privilege herein granted; Provided, That if both shall avail of the same, the total area acquired shall not exceed the maximum herein fixed.

In case the transferee already owns urban or rural lands for residential purposes, he shall still be entitled to be a transferee of additional urban or rural lands for residential purposes which, when added to those already owned by him, shall not exceed the maximum areas herein authorized.

 

kung ang gusto naman nila ay LUPA na pang-negosyo (di kasali ang negosyong buy-and-sell ng lupa), ayon sa Republic Act 7042 (Foreign Investments Act of 1991) as amended by RA 8179:

 

SEC. 10. Other rights of natural-born citizen pursuant to the provisions of Article XII, Section 8 of the Constitution. - Any natural-born citizen who has lost his Philippine citizenship and who has the legal capacity to enter into a contract under Philippine Laws may be a transferee of a private land up to a maximum area of five thousand [5,000] square meters in the case of urban land or three [3] hectares in the case of rural land to be used by him for business or other purposes. In the case of married couples, one of them may avail of the privilege herein granted: Provided, That If both shall avail of the same, the total area acquired shall not exceed the maximum herein fixed.

In case the transferee already owns urban or rural land for business or other purposes, he shall be entitled to be a transferee of additional urban or rural land for business or other purposes which when added to those already owned by him shall not exceed the maximum areas herein authorized.

A transferee under this Act may acquire not more than two [2] lots which should be situated in different municipalities or cities anywhere in the Philippines: Provided, That the total land area thereof shall not exceed five thousand [5,000] square meters in the case of urban land or three [3] hectares in the case of rural land for use by him for business or other purposes. A transferee who has already acquired urban land shall be disqualified form acquiring rural land and vice versa.

 

kung bahay o gusali lang ang bibilhin (di kasali ang lupa), pwedeng-pwede itong bilhin ng isang dating Filipino ng walang limitasyon.

 

kung ang laki o dami ng lupa na bibilhin ay sobra na sa nakasaad sa batas, ang available option na lang ay upahan ito (maximum ng 25 years lease, renewable for another 25 years - Pres. Decree 471)
