Republic Act No. 109, enacted on June 2, 1947, amends Section 10 of the Philippine Alien Registration Act of 1941. It mandates that every alien residing in the Philippines must report in person to the Bureau of Immigration or local treasurer within the first sixty days of each calendar year, affixing a five-peso documentary stamp to their registration certificate. Parents or legal guardians must report for aliens under fourteen, but once an alien turns fourteen, they must report personally. Failure to comply with this reporting requirement can lead to the cancellation of the registration certificate. The Act took effect upon approval.
