(a)Identify the central doctrine governing corrections of civil registry entries under RA 9048, as amended by RA 10172, and distinguish the administrative-correction path from the judicial-path and when each is appropriate. (b) Apply the doctrine to the following scenario: A parcel of land is titled under TCT No. T-900001 in the name of "Pedro S. Dizon." In the civil registry, the owner's name appears as "Pedro Dizon" due to a clerical omission of the middle name. A petition for correction of civil registry entries is filed under RA 9048, as amended by RA 10172, and the PSA issues a corrected civil registry certificate reading "Pedro S. Dizon." The RTC did not order a separate correction; the correction is administrative. What steps must the Registry of Deeds take to reflect the corrected owner name in the land title (TCT No. T-900001)? Should the title be annotated or should a new TCT be issued, and what is the effect on third parties?
