Kailangan ko pong mag file ng petition for corection para sa transfer of pension.

    1. Nasubukan niyo na po bang mag inquire sa munisipyo? Medyo complicated po ang case niyo… may marriage certificate po ba kayo ng asawa niyo? Kung death certificate po ng dati niyang asawa ang ipapa correct, maaaring i-require ng munisipyo na present ang mga kamag anak o kapamilya ng yumao (anak nila, mga kapatid niya, etc).
