Free civil registry services in Feb.

THE Cebu City Civil Registry Office is extending free services to city residents during the month of February as part of their celebration of the Civil Registration Month mandated by presidential proclamation no. 682 signed by the late president Corazon Aquino.

Councilor Leah Japson said in a resolution which the council approved during their Jan. 25 session, the free service would include the late birth registration.

The free issuance of birth, marriage and death certificates, however, are scheduled on Feb. 17.

Japson, council’s children and women’s committee head, is asking the City Legal Office to also extend free services to those who wanted to avail of civil registry services./Correspondent Edison A. delos Angeles
