NOTICE OF HEARING
This petition was filed by Ma.
Teresita P. Mendoza Mabutas
alleging among others that
she married, of legal age,
Filipino and a resident of 23
Orchid St. Fairview Brgy
Baguio City; that she and
Noel Cid Mabutas got
married on December 22,
2008 at Baguio City; that
they have two (2) minor
children, Gabrielle Joyce
Mabutas born on June 28,
1997 in Baguio City and
Mary Raphael Mendoza
Mabutas born on November

13, 1999 also in Baguio City;

that there are erroneous
entries which appear in the
Certificate of Live Births of
their minor children, more
particularly under item No. 6
of the Certificate of Live
Birth of both children, the
first name of mother ,
appear thereon as TERESITA
instead of MA. TERESITA; in
item No. 17 of the Certificate
of Live Birth of minor Mary
Rafael Mendoza Mabutas the
age of father appear as 41
instead of 42; and in item
No. 18, in the Certificate of
Live Birth of Gabrielle Joyce
Mendoza Mabutas, the place
and date of marriage of
parents was indicated as
November 27, 1984- San
Fernando, La Union while in
the Certificate of Live Birth
of Mary Raphael Mendoza
Mabutas what was indicated
is November 27, 1984
Baguio City instead of the
true date and place of
marriage which is December
22, 2008- Baguio City, that
she and her husband were
not minors of the time
children were conceived and
born and the erroneous
entries were made in good
faith so that her children can
use the surname of their
father and avoid the stigma
of being branded as
illegitimates; that the error
in the indication of the age
of the age of the father was
a more harmless and
innocuous error arising from
an honest mistake in the
computation; that the error
in the recording of the name
of the name of the mother is
based on the honest belief
that there is no difference
between Teresita and Ma.
Teresita; that on order to
avoid confusion and to set
the records straight , there is
a need to cancel and / or
correct the entries in the
certificate of live birth of her
minor children and an
annotation indicating that
the children were

legitimated by the
subsequent marriage of
their parents on December
22, 2008 at Baguio City.
The petition was found to be
sufficient in the form and
substance and was set for
initial hearing on April 24,
2015 at 9:00 oclock in the
morning on which date and
time, the petitioner shall be
allowed to substantiate her
petition, and any interested
person may show cause, if
there be any, why the
petition should not be
granted.
