| There is no record of Orfila's birth on 8 October 1942 in the Office of the Municipal Registrar of Carigara, Leyte[65] nor in the National Statistics Office[66] so that she applied for late registration of her birth in 2002. However, Orfila's birth certificate is merely equivalent to a bare declaration on her part as to her age because it was she who furnished the data contained therein.[67] Furthermore, the timing in which the late registration of the said birth certificate was effected, which was on 29 July 2002 when Orfila was already accused of falsification, casts doubt on the veracity of the fact it purports to prove. | |||||
