Can you change your name legally in the Philippines if you are 20 years old?

In philippines, though it's so hard to get the first name changed to a name that sounds so cool however it will be changed fruitfully . There's a lot of reasons why you should file a petition to a philippine court pertaining to your request ... Remember , not name you can choose or you just desire , if you're a transexual , you must obtain the reason , 1st : some of your documents when you were a student were all contained of the name that sounded good for you . 2nd : name that most of your friends are calling you using by your nickname because they dont know your first name ever since ( so there shoud be a witness stand who can say that she/he doesnt know your first name ) . 3rd : lastly , because of discrimination using your first name why you should file a petition ... hope it is helpful ...
