Facts: In Dumaguete City, 28-year-old Aileen Maria Gomez discovers that her civil registry birth entry lists her as 'Aileen Gomez,' born on June 30, 1998, in Dumaguete City, to 'Felix Gomez' and 'Ana Gomez.' In truth, her full name is 'Aileen Maria Gomez,' born on June 30, 1998, to 'Eduardo Gomez' and 'Maria Gomez,' who raised her; an aunt allegedly altered the entry to facilitate an inheritance. She files in the Regional Trial Court a Petition for Rectification of Simulated Births under Republic Act No. 11222 seeking to correct the entry to reflect her true identity and parentage. (a) Identify the controlling doctrine and essential elements that make rectification under RA 11222 proper. (b) Distinguish this remedy from ordinary correction of clerical errors and state the standard of proof required. (c) If the petition is granted, what effect does the rectification have on existing land titles or deeds that reference the original entry, and what practical steps are typically needed to align those instruments with the corrected registry data?

Rectification under RA 11222 may be granted even if it would prejudice third parties; standard of proof is preponderance; the registry change suffices to modify titles without annotation. Rectification under RA 11222 is merely an ordinary correction of clerical errors; the standard of proof is preponderance of evidence; land titles are updated automatically without separate action. Rectification can be used only to correct for an error introduced by a private person; standard: preponderance; effect on land titles: no effect. Rectification under RA 11222 requires proof that the civil registry birth entry is simulated and seeks to reflect the true identity and parentage; it is distinct from ordinary correction of clerical errors; the standard of proof is preponderance of evidence; if granted, the RTC orders correction of the civil registry and directs the Register of Deeds to annotate or reissue instruments and to align land titles, deeds, and certificates with the corrected data, including notifying agencies and issuing new copies of birth records.
