One of the most common causes of AR in the Philippines is because of late BC registration.
As you no doubt know a LOT of Filipinos are not born in hospitals but by a hilot [Midwife].
My wife was and her BC wasn't registered until 7 years after birth.
If you are late registered be sure you have backup evidence proving you are who you say you are when you go to your interview.
EX!

1. Old and New identification (ID) cards (i.e. school, employment, driver's license, ATM's, credit cards, PRC, SSS, BIR).

2. School Records (i.e. certificates, diplomas, registration/report/class cards).

3. Class Picture and Year/Annual Books/or Souvenir Books

4. SSS E-1 and E-4 Forms (must be original or certified copies from SSS Head Office).

5. Original Baptismal Certificate

6. Photo of Baptismal Registry Book, which includes the Book Cover, Prayer Cover and page on which appear your name, date of birth, date of baptism, name of biological and Godparents, ( picture size must be 8 X 11 inches).

7. Employment and/or income tax record ( OLD and NEW)

Some of the things take a long time to get if you've moved to a different province or island.
Get as many as you can as no one wants to be on AR.
Better to get what you can before the interview and not spend months doing so after!

"Some" people have "got by" with only their baptismal.
However others have been put on AR for months until they provided support for their BC.

My wife had most of the above and didn't have any problems.

Very good advice

Everytime I see Haole, in my simple mine I always think "Ahole" and laugh to myself. Get it... I'm crazy... Don't mind me...

Strange as everytime I see Uling I think of the word ULIAN.
Means being senile in Tagalog!

Touché! I guess we are two wild and crazy thinking individuals...
