-The records of birth, marriage and death provides important information of events in a person's life; therefore, it became necessary for legal authorities to record and keep these events in their citizens life, in formal books, for the benefit of civil and personal purposes.
+==Historical Background==
-==Civil Registration (''Registros Civiles'')==
-*The recording births, marriages and deaths, provides important information of events in a person's life and required valid evidence, making these records very important.
-==Time Coverage==
 *Most vital records from before 1889 come from Catholic parish and diocesan archives.
 *In 1889, the Spanish government created the Central Office of Statistics, which required each parish priest to  give the government a detailed list of the births, marriages, and deaths in his area.
 *After the Philippine Revolution of 1898, the church and state became separate. Within the first few years, officials responsible for civil registration were appointed in each municipality.
 *In 1930, civil registration became mandatory and, in 1932, the Bureau of Census and Statistics was created to oversee all civil registration in the Philippines. It was not until 1940 that most registrations began to be recorded.
