Dependent childs birth certificate has missing info that can not be proven

[Boracay]

Hi everyone.

My common law wife has a non-accompanying 2 year old child who will stay behind with my partner's Mother and Father (grandparents). In our checklist it says that we need to.....

IDENTITY AND CIVIL STATUS DOCUMENTS
1) For the Philippines
The following original documents are required for you (principal applicant, regardless of age) and for each of your dependent children, if applicable:
•Birth Certificate


If your or any of your dependent's birth is late registered or there is NO RECORD of registration of birth with NSO,additional original identity documents must be submitted, such as:
•baptismal certificate, •permanent elementary and high school records, •voter's ID or voter's certificate, •old passports, •birth certificate issued by the Local Civil Registrar

She has the last one....an original birth certificate registered by the local civil registrar. She was no record of her birth with the NSO.
On the birth certificate it shows Mother's name (my partner), and a blank for the Father's name.

The story is she was abandoned by the father while she was pregnant. Has no way of contacting him, and therefore has no way of putting his name on the birth certificate. The civil registrar will not allow it without roof which makes sense.

Will this cause problems for us?

Why not submit an affidavit by the child's mother, signed in front of a Magistrate (or equivalent legal signatory as per your country's law) together with the current birth certificate, showing justification for missing information.
