Topic 2: WHAT IS A RECORD?
Ano nga ba ang record?
A record is any information—whether paper or electronic—that is created or received habang ginagawa ang official functions ng opisina at nagsisilbing ebidensya ng isang transaction o decision.
Paano mo malalaman kung record ito? Ask these 3 simple questions:
✅ Una, ginawa o natanggap ba ito bilang bahagi ng official business?
✅ Pangalawa, may pinatutunayan ba itong transaction, action, o decision?
✅ Pangatlo, kailangan ba itong i-retain dahil may legal, administrative, fiscal, o historical value?
Kung YES ang sagot sa mga tanong na ito, then it's a record.
Remember:
Hindi lahat ng documents ay records, pero lahat ng records ay may value bilang ebidensya ng official business.
