Revocation of Issued Certificate of Live Birth. -The biological parent/s, the NACC or the LSWDO may file a petition for the revocation of the Certificate of Live Birth before the Local Civil Registrar based on the following grounds:
(a) Percentage of the foundling has been established; or
(b) Fraud to conceal the material facts of birth or parentage of the person that would otherwise not render the person as a foundling.
If the parentage of one foundling is established, and the foundling cannot acquire the citizenship of the parents which will result in statelessness, the foundling shall retain Philippine citizenship until such time that it can be established that the foundling is able to benefit from the citizenship of either parent.
