What is Silverio v. Republic: Gender and Marriage Laws about?

The petitioner, who was born male but underwent sex reassignment surgery, sought to change the gender marker on their birth certificate from male to female so they could marry their male fiancé. However, the court denied the petition. Philippine law defines marriage as between a man and a woman. There is also no law allowing changes to birth certificates to reflect gender transitions. Therefore, the petitioner could not legally marry their fiancé under Philippine law.
