Manila, Philippines – “Sex reassignment” or sex change is not a valid ground to change the name and gender of a person, the Court of Appeals has ruled.
Based on the 23-page decision, the court affirmed the appeal made by the Office of the Solicitor-General asking that it reverse the 2006 decision of Branch 105 of the Quezon City regional trial court ordering the Pasay City Registrar’s Office to change Gilbert Duran Deposoy’s name to “Veronica” and his gender from male to female.
