Getting a Cedula (Community Tax Certificate)
I need a cedula for my Pag ibig Loan!
If you are residing within the areas of Brgy. Kapitolyo and Shaw Boulevard in Pasig City and you basically need a CTC or cedula, the nearest and the most convenient place where we could get this is at the Mandaluyong branch near the Edsa Central (within the vicinity of Edsa Central Market, Mandaluyong Police Headquarters, Maynilad)
There were just two employees when I entered their office. They were accomodating so far.
Here 's what you need to do:
1. Fill out the form with your name, address, citizenship, place of birth, and just your signature.
2. Apprarently, they were not able to ask me the reason why I need it.
3. Pay the amount (Php 20.00) as provided. That's it! Well, I should not have paid that amount only (my bad!) since I have a job. How much should I suppose to pay then? Read below.
Basically, getting a cedula is so easy. For me , it is not a credible piece of proof of identity. One can just invent their salaries, or home address.
So basically, what is a cedula ?
Here is a short info provided by an Inquirer researcher.

History
THE CEDULA -- also known as community tax certificate -- was, in the 19th century, an identification card that had to be carried at all times. A person who could not present his or her cedula to a guardia civil could then be detained for being “indocumentado.” Considering the document a sign of Spanish colonization, Andres Bonifacio and other Katipuneros tore their cedulas in August 1896, signaling the start of the Philippine Revolution. The cedula has evolved into the community tax certificate under the Local Government Code of 1991. The code authorizes cities and municipalities to collect annual community tax from corporations, and from residents aged 18 and above who have been employed on a wage basis for at least 30 consecutive days, or who are engaged in business, or who are required by law to file an income tax return.
Two Components
The tax has two components: a.) the basic community tax (P5 for individuals and P500 for corporations), and b.) the additional community tax (for individuals, P1 per P1,000 of income; additional tax for corporations will depend on their earnings and real property the preceding year). The additional tax should not exceed P5,000 for individuals, and P10,000 for corporations.
The community tax should be paid to the barangay, city or municipal treasurer of the individual’s place of residence, or of the location of the corporation’s principal office.
Exemptions
Exempted are diplomatic and consular representatives, and visitors staying in the Philippines for less than three months. They can still get a cedula voluntarily for P1.
A person is required to present a cedula when he or she acknowledges a document before a notary public; takes an oath of office upon election or appointment to a government position; receives a license, certificate or permit from a public authority; pays a tax or fee; receives money from a public fund; transacts official business; or receives salary from a person or corporation
Cedula No Longer Valid For Document Notarization In The Philippines
....a Philippine notary public can no longer accept a cedula or a community tax certificate (CTC), the successor document to the residence certificate originally required by the Notarial Law as proof of identity, for the simple reason that it does not contain a photograph of the person to whom it is issued.
Moreover, it is common knowledge that a CTC may be easily obtained by anyone, without any supporting papers, thereby debasing its value as an identity document. For more information about this article, please refer to: http://www.unlawyer.net/?p=1534
