| Respondent Gloria failed to present the actual marriage license, or a copy thereof, and relied on the marriage contract as well as the testimonies of her witnesses to prove the existence of said license. To prove that no such license was issued, Syed turned to the office of the Municipal Civil Registrar of Carmona, Cavite which had allegedly issued said license. It was there that he requested certification that no such license was issued. In the case of Republic v. Court of Appeals[43] such certification was allowed, as permitted by Sec. 29, Rule 132 of the Rules of Court, which reads: SEC. 28. Proof of lack of record.

| The foregoing Decision giving probative value to the certifications issued by the Local Civil Registrar should be read in line with the decision in the earlier case of Republic v. Court of Appeals,[14] where it was held that:The above Rule authorized the custodian of documents to certify that despite diligent search, a particular document does not exist in his office or that a particular entry of a specified tenor was not to be found in a register. As custodians of public documents, civil registrars are public officers charged with the duty, inter alia, of maintaining a register book where they are required to enter all applications for marriage licenses, including the names of the applicants, the date the marriage license was issued and such other relevant data.
