Birth Certificate: The Most Important Document In Your Life

According to The New WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY, Birth Certificate is a certificate showing the place and date of a person's birth, the names of the parents etc.

Everyone who knows you don't have a Birth Certificate will brand you a "Kolorum".  What will happen if you don't have this document?  Below are some answers:

• School Records will not be obtained 
• Difficulty in securing Valid Identification(i.e. Postal ID, Professional License, Passport, TIN, etc.)
• Benefits will not be claimed
• Cannot work anywhere you want
• Future problems in any documents of your young ones   
•  

What will you do in order to avoid these problems?

Who is allowed to register Birth?  Any family member(most common is the father or the mother) who knows the following:

•   Full name of the child whose birth is recorded (first, middle and last name)
•   Exact date of birth
•   Place of birth (city/town and province)-others:Hospital Add
•   Full name of the father
•   Full maiden name of the mother
•   Your full address
•   Your relationship with the child
•   Who assisted the birth of the child  

If the child is born in the house or in any place aside from the hospital, one must go to The Office of the Local Civil Registrar located in your city/municipality compound.

The same procedure shall be observed in Late Registration.

Affidavits for Less: Do It Yourself

I'm just concerned of those people who can't even afford the necessities of life but still have to pay for a piece of paper for hundreds or even a thousand pesos.  We can't even blame the Professionals for making us pay for such documents.  Yet we can lessen our obligations through making drafts of the specific documents we need.  Remember that notarial fee is just Php.100.00 to Php.150.00, so why go to a Law Firm for an Affidavit while you can always make a choice....JUST DO IT YOURSELF AND HAVE IT NOTARIZED NOW!

Here's some tips in making your own affidavit:

First, state your NAME/CIVIL STATUS/CITIZENSHIP/RESIDENCY and make a sworn statement;

Second, provide proofs;

Third, you must sign below your statement;

Fourth, signature of two(2) witnesses with their respective Valid Identification(if there's any)/Community Tax Certificate or Cedula is commonly used

Fifth, have it notarized by a Lawyer

For your guidance, below are samples of Affidavits that are commonly used:

Licensure Examination for Embalmers

I'm a Bank Teller turned Embalmer and just want to share some things to you guys, for I know lots of aspiring Morticians all over the country  have questions regarding the requisites of the said exam.

What is an Embalmer?

Embalmer according to the Department of Health of the Philippines means a duly licensed person who embalms dead bodies.  


No one is allowed to perform an embalming operation not unless he/she is a registered embalmer and no embalmer shall be called a licensed one until he/she passes the examination set by the Committee of Examiners for Undertakers and Embalmers.  The exam consists of two types, written and oral/practical examinations.  If you will pass the former then you will be able to take the oral/practical examination.  This just means you don't have to practice embalming for a long period of time, as long as you know how to do it and you have the ability to stock information into your precious brain, you can be ONE OF US.

if you want to be a Licensed Embalmer:


1.  You must be a practitioner who performed at least ten(10) embalming operations under a close supervision of a duly licensed person;

2.  You must be willing to enroll into any institutions duly registered by the DOH for a review.  Below are the list of registered review and training centers:
