====Name and gender change====
In case of controversial and substantial changes, [[Philippines]] [[jurisprudence]] requires full-blown court [[lawsuit]], that must include the local civil registrar in the petition, since RA 9048 and Rule 108 (Cancellation or correction of entries in the Civil Registry) of the Rules of Court do not allow the change of sex in a birth certificate.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chanrobles.com/rulesofcourtspecialproceedings.htm#RULE%20108 |title=Special Proceedings: Rule 108 ~ Cancellation or correction of entries in the Civil Registry |website=Chan Robles Virtual Law Library}}</ref>

The only landmark case in the Philippines on name and legal sex change is the Jeff Cagandahan case. The [[Supreme Court of the Philippines]] Justice [[Leonardo Quisumbing]] on September 12, 2008, allowed Cagandahan, 27, who has [[congenital adrenal hyperplasia]], to change the name on his [[birth certificate]] to read Jeff, and his legal gender to male.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20080917-161148/Call-him-Jeff-says-SC-he-used-to-be-called-Jennifer |title=Call him Jeff, says SC; he used to be called Jennifer |first=Leila |last=Salaverria |date=September 17, 2008 |newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808193038/http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20080917-161148/Call-him-Jeff-says-SC-he-used-to-be-called-Jennifer |archive-date=August 8, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24359150-401,00.html |title=Woman's body 'naturally' became male |date=September 16, 2008 |website=[[News.com.au]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090216041937/http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24359150-401,00.html |archive-date=February 16, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/rare-condition-turns-woman-into-man |title=Rare Condition Turns Woman Into Man |date=September 16, 2008 |website=[[Fox News]] |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090215192910/http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,423242,00.html |archive-date=February 15, 2009}}</ref>
