thanks for the replies, my marriage has been declared void ab initio last aug 29 2005. i spoke to dswd today and my mom went there early this morning and presented my marriage cert (from census) with an anotation stating that our marriage is null and void. as soon as they saw it they said they are going to have it verified with rtc manila and census as recently they have received a lot of fake documents and they just wanted to make sure. thanks so much and appreciate all your advices. good day to all
