CABARROGUIS, Quirino, April | CABARROGUIS, Quirino, April 29 (PIA) -- Tribal rites, legal rights. The National Statistics Office here has scheduled training for tribal leaders who are solemnizing wedding ceremonies at the Nagtipunan town hall on May 15. | ||
Cherry Grace Agustin, provincial statistics officer said the training is a pre-requisite in issuing the tribal leaders certificate of registration as official and accredited solemnizing officers. | |||
“This is to ensure the validity of the marriage among Indigenous People couples so that they could avail services and benefits due to them,” Agustin said adding that most IPs have too often been denied benefits and services only because they lack basic documents such as certificates of birth or marriage. | |||
She likewise said they can also enjoy benefits due them as members of the Social Security System (SSS), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (or PhilHealth) and Home Development Mutual Fund or Pag-Ibig. | |||
Agustin added that marriage of IPs officiated by their tribal leaders are considered acceptable, they still need documents such as marriage contract, birth certificates of children as documents for all legal transactions. | |||
She explained that any marriage that is solemnized by officiating officials, who is not registered, is considered null and void and can be declared illegal. | |||
“NSO is the only office that is authorized to process and approve the certificate of registration to the solemnizing officers,” Agustin said. (TCB-PIA2, Quirino) | |||
