Under RA 9048, as amended by RA 10172, clerical errors in civil registry entries may be corrected administratively. A parcel of land is titled under TCT No. T-790042 in the name of "Luis A. Mercado." The civil registry, however, records the owner as "Luis Mercado" due to omission of the middle initial. The PSA, after a petition, issues a corrected civil registry certificate reading "Luis A. Mercado" and 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-790042)? Should the title be annotated or should a new TCT be issued, and what is the effect on third parties?

Choose the Best Answer

Issue a separate new certificate of title for the corrected name but keep the old TCT active to preserve the chain of title. Update the civil registry and the land title but leave the TCT unchanged, relying on internal registry notes only. Require a court order to implement any correction in the land title despite the PSA-corrected civil registry certificate. Annotate the existing TCT with a notice of the PSA-corrected civil registry entry showing the corrected name, and no new TCT is issued; third parties are bound by the corrected record as reflected in the annotation.
