Any report made beyond the reglementary period of 30 days shall be considered late, and the concerned party-registrant shall be required to state in a sworn statement the circumstances that caused the late reporting to the civil registrar.
Persons Responsible to Report the Event
Immediately after finding a foundling, the finder shall report the case to the barangay captain of the place where the foundling was found, or to the police headquarters, whichever is nearer or convenient to the finder. When the report is duly noted, either by the barangay captain or by the police authority, the finder shall commit the child to the care of the Department of Social Welfare and Development or to a duly licensed orphanage or charitable or similar institution. Upon commitment, the finder shall give to the charitable institution his copy of the Certificate of Foundling, if he had registered the foundling.
In case the finder is awarded the custody of the foundling by the proper authority, he shall give a name for the child and shall report the same to the civil registrar of the city/municipality where the child was found. Otherwise, the giving of name to the child and its registration as foundling shall be the responsibility of the Department of Social Welfare and Development or of the orphanage or charitable or similar institution where the child was committed.
