Not All Doctors and Healthcare Providers Are Required to Register Their Data Protection Officers and Data Processing Systems

With the issuance of NPC Circular No. 2022-04 by the National Privacy Commission (NPC), doctors and healthcare providers must now carefully assess whether they are required to register their data processing systems and Data Protection Officers (DPOs).

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, patient records are classified as sensitive personal information, which means stricter compliance standards apply. Contrary to common belief, not all doctors are automatically required to register. However, mandatory registration arises when certain thresholds under Section 5 of NPC Circular No. 2022-04 are met.

Data Privacy Compliance after DPO Registration

Many organizations mistakenly believe that registration of Data Protection Officer (DPO) and Data Processing System (DPS) alone satisfies their obligations under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. In reality, registration is only Pillar 1 of compliance. Full compliance requires adherence to Pillars 2 to 5, which ensure that personal data is properly managed, protected, and governed.

Empowering the Ranks: Atty. Catherine Rose Diaz Lectures on Safe Spaces at TRACOM

Atty. Catherine Rose Diaz recently took the podium at the Training Command (TRACOM) in Capas, Tarlac, to lead a vital discussion on the Safe Spaces Act (RA 11313). Addressing students of the Signal Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) Basic and Advanced Courses, the session focused on fostering a culture of respect, professional integrity, and accountability within the service.

The lecture provided a deep dive into the legal frameworks that protect individuals from gender-based sexual harassment in public spaces, online platforms, and the workplace. For the NCOs in attendance, who serve as the backbone of military discipline, the discussion emphasized their dual role: understanding their protections under the law and upholding the high standards of conduct required to ensure a safe environment for all personnel.

Having two birth certificates, a situation known as Double Registration, is more common than you think, but it can lead to serious legal complications with passports, inheritance, and government benefits.

To correct such duplicity, the legal path is filing a Verified Petition for Cancellation of Entry under Rule 108 of the Rules of Court before the proper Regional Trial Court (RTC).

For many OFWs and migrant Filipinos, building a family in a different country comes with unique challenges, especially when it comes to adoption.

In the case of Suzuki v. OSG, G.R. No. 212302, September 2, 2020, the Supreme Court ruled that foreign adoption decrees can be legally recognized in the Philippines.

VALID VERBAL SALE OF LAND

A verbal agreement to sell land is legally binding and enforceable if the contract has already been executed through actions like paying the price, taking physical possession, and holding the owner’s duplicate title.

While the Statute of Frauds usually requires real estate deals to be in writing, the Court ruled that this requirement does not apply once the parties have already performed their obligations, as the law cannot be used to protect a seller who has already accepted the benefits of a sale.

PROTECTING PROPERTY RIGHTS IN SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIPS

In the case of Jennifer C. Josef v. Evalyn G. Ursua (G.R. No. 267469, February 5, 2025), the Supreme Court clarified the property rights of same-sex couples in the Philippines. The case involved a former couple who co-owned a house registered only in the respondent’s name, supported by a written acknowledgment of the petitioner’s 50% interest.

The High Court held that same-sex partners are governed by the general laws on co-ownership and contracts under the New Civil Code. It also held that in case the same-sex couple cohabited, their properties are considered co-owned.

Cunanan Law Office is proud to announce the appointment of Atty. Dariane G. Odon as our newest Junior Associate Lawyer.

A distinguished graduate of the Tarlac State University (TSU) School of Law, Atty. Odon’s transition to this role is a testament to her deep-rooted commitment to our firm’s mission. She has been an integral part of our team for years, rising through the ranks as our Paralegal and Underbar Associate.

During her time at TSU, she sharpened her formidable advocacy skills as the Captain of the TSU Moot and Debate Society, a leadership background that now serves as the foundation for her sharp legal strategy and courtroom presence.

Before her legal career, Atty. Odon served the community as a public school teacher, an experience that instilled in her a unique blend of discipline, patience, and the ability to simplify complex information, qualities that make her an exceptional advocate for our clients.

Under the tutelage of Cunanan Law Office, she has already established herself as a skilled lecturer in Indigenous Peoples' (IP) Rights and has developed a diverse practice covering Criminal, Data Privacy, Family, and Property Law.

Most notably, she has demonstrated a profound dedication to social justice through her work in securing protection orders for victims of VAWC, ensuring that the most vulnerable members of our community receive the legal shield they deserve. We are honored to have such a multifaceted, homegrown talent officially join our ranks as we continue to strive for legal excellence.
