sabi ko nga, pumunta ka sa Public Attorney's Office o sa pinakamalapit na opisina ng Integrated Bar of the Philippines, para matulungan ka agad. Pumunta ka sa munisipyo mo diyan sa Cavite at magtanong kung saan ang opisina ng PAO o ng IBP. pwede ka ring magtanong-tanong sa mga kamag-anak, kakilala at kaibigan kung may mairerekomenda silang abugado.

 

Kung wala kang perang pambayad sa abugado, sumubok ka rin sa UP College of Law Office of the Legal Aid sa Diliman, o di kaya sa San Sebastian College of Law (sa Recto) o Arellano College of Law (sa Taft lampas ng Quirino) sa kanilang Legal Aid Office.

i want to explore the possibilities of having my american employer sponsor me. do you know who or where can i get at least FREE initial consultation?

 

the lowest charge i've seen is $80/half hour in Makati

 

Your question seems incomplete. Sponsor you where? If you are a Filipina who is already employed by an "american employer" where do you need his sponsorship? Initial consultation is being done over here now mam; I didn't charge you either.

 

Please clarify so we can help further.

Sorry to butt-in. I was wondering if you guys could help me out? You see I'm using my paternal grandfather's first name as my middle name. It was changed after I was legally adopted by my paternal aunt. In other words if my grandfather's name was Jose Rizal and I was born Joseph P. Rizal, my name was changed to Joseph J. Rizal. Now here's the thing. My NSO birth certificate shows my biological mother's surname as my middle name, however, all my other legal documents (passport, school records, sss, tin, etc.) shows the amended middle name. I also have a photocopy of the amended birth certificate but it's not the certified true copy with the seal. A couple of years back I attempted to have this sorted out at the Manila city hall NSO dept. After paying the fees and waiting half a day in line, what I got was my original Joseph P. Rizal birth certificate. I tried to explain that my birth certificate was amended, but all I got was red tape and instructions to go get a birth record or something at the hospital where I was born. When I asked around, the hospital no longer existed. Also, the judge who presided over the amendment of my name had passed on. Is there a way I can fix my birth certificate so that it matches all my other papers?

you have two options.

 

1. get the records from the court granting your adoption and change of name. maybe your aunt or the lawyer who handled the case have records of such adoption and change of name. if this is available then you have no problem. just ask the court to forward their decision to the local civil register and nso. However if this records are not available, then you have a problem.

 

2. why not use the name as per NSO record and just change or correct your legal documents. this will be easier

 

hope this will help

In that case there is nothing to correct in San Juan. It is the NSO file that is erroneous so that is where the problem is. NSO gets its copies from the local civil registers so you probably need to inform them of the error and hopefully the procedure for proving so is not tedious. Hopefully, just the presentation of a certified true copy of the birth certificate is sufficient to cinvince them to correct their entry. You would need to ask the NSO the proper procedure for correction of errors in birth certificates.

just a quick question... in cases of providing and submitting information, would it be helpful if you made this in an affidavit format under oath that the information you are manifesting with the attached certified true copy of the document is really the true facts on the issue instead of just a plain letter,

 

...and connected with that, alternatively, could you submit a "subscribed" letter instead of just a plain letter stating the facts as to the truth of the matter? Would this be sufficient?

It will certainly make your information more credible because you swore to the truthfulness of contents of the affidavit (by the way a subscribed letter is also an affidavit). However, if it is not required, then you'll just be spending uselessly if you'll have it notarized, because the legal presumption is that you're always telling the truth, unless proven otherwise.

Hello everybody!

 

i have a problem with regards to my citizenship. it all started when i tried to get a passport from DFA. When i showed my requirements to them they looked at my bc and saw that my father is a chinese citizen. they told me to go to the Citizenship Evaluation Committee at DFA. They told me that i am a chinese citizen because my father is a chinese citizen. and if i wanted a passport i must apply for it at the chinese embassy. and they also told me that if i want a philippine passport i should apply for dual citizenshhip. I argued with them that i have been voting here in the phil and was born and lived here for 30 years.

 

My mother is a filipina and has never renounced her filipino citizenship.

 

Am i really considered a chinese citizen under the circumstance that my Filipino mother married a chinese citizen and that makes me and my brother chinese citizens as well eventhough we have voted and lived here?

 

how do i go about with this? do i need a lawyer or jsut go about with their suggestion? help please!

Hello.

 

You said that you have been living here for 30 years, so I'm presuming here that you are more or less 30 years old and was born under the 1973 Constitution. If so, then the DFA personnel incorrectly tagged you as a Chinese citizen. Since your mother is Filipina and your father Chinese, you may be qualified to be both Chinese and Filipino under Chinese and Philippine Laws on citizenship.

 

Their advice that you go to the Citizenship evaluation committee is correct because they will help you in processing your papers whether you choose to be Filipino. Chinese or both.

 

You probably don't need a lawyer at this point, unless the DFA insist on their first assessment that you're Chinese, and you want to be a Filipino or to acquire both citizenships.

Ano ba ang gustong mangyari nung empleyado mo? Gusto ba niyang kasuhan ang asawa niya? Ang problema kasi dun, nasa Japan yung asawa niya kaya di niya basta-basta mahahabla, or kung mahahabla man niya, baka useless lang ang desisyon na ibababa ng korte kasi nasa Japan naman si babae.

 

Note na di niya pwedeng kasuhan ng bigamy dito sa Pilipinas ang asawa niya kung sa Japan ito nagpakasal dun sa Hapon. Di rin niya makakasuhan ng adultery kung sa Japan nagsasama yung Hapon at asawa niya (dahil sa pangkalahatan, sa Pilipinas lang may bisa ang mga batas natin).

 

Kung gusto naman niyang ipawalang-bisa ang kasal niya, medyo malaki ang gastos dun. Sabi mo nga, baker lang siya, mga P150T ang magagastos dun. Kung tutulong ka naman, willing ka ba magbayad ng ganung amount.

 

kung gusto naman niyang ayusin ang visa ng asawa niya, ano siya, gago? nag-asawa na nga ng iba, aayusin pa niya yung visa.

My wife is planning to get a passport, her name on the birth certificate is Maria Victoria but on our Marriage Certificate her name appears as Ma. Victoria, she also uses this in all other records (School, SSS, BIR).

Will she encounter problems in getting the passport? What is the best solution for this?

Thanks in advance.
