Bureau of Immigration(BI)

Hello!

I am asking how to get a certification from the PSA or Bureau of Immigration to recognize I am a Filipino Citizen.

I cannot process anything driver's license related because of the lack of a PSA Birth Cert. When I present my original Birth Cert (USA) with papers from the Bureau of Immigration that I am recognized as Filipino. They still do not accept my documents. Please help.
