Under Section 3 of Rule VI of the 2004 Rules on Notarial Practice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines, a Filipino notary public is disqualified from notarizing a document in the following situations:
1. Personal Involvement: The notary public is a party to the instrument or document being notarized.
2. Financial or Personal Benefit: The notary public will receive, directly or indirectly, any commission, fee, advantage, right, title, interest, cash, property, or other consideration as a result of the notarization, beyond what is allowed by the rules or law.
3. Familial Relationship: The notary public is a spouse, common-law partner, ancestor, descendant, or relative by affinity or consanguinity within the fourth civil degree of the principal (the person executing the document).
These disqualifications ensure impartiality and prevent conflicts of interest in the notarization process.
