    This document summarizes a Supreme Court case regarding correcting errors in birth records. Domingo Barreto claimed that the birth record registered under the name of Rosario Barreto, recorded as female, was actually his birth record as a male. However, the Supreme Court found that this was not simply a clerical error, as Domingo was claiming to be a different person than listed in the birth record. They determined the situation was more complicated and required ascertaining whether Domingo and Rosario were actually the same person before any corrections could be made. The Supreme Court ultimately set aside the trial court's decision that had granted correcting the alleged errors.

If the name in the record of birth were Domingo Barretto and his sex was indicated therein as female, it might be argued that the error would be clerical. But that is not the fact in this case. The situation is more complicated. A person named Domingo Barretto claims that he is Rosario Barreto and that the word "female" in the latter's birth record is a mistake. In this case, there is a need to ascertain as to WON Rosario and Domingo are one and the same person. TC decision is therefore set aside
