Short answer. There are only two possible outcomes. Under Rule 108, Section 7, the court either dismisses your petition outright or issues an order granting the cancellation or correction you asked for; either way, a certified copy of the judgment goes to the civil registrar, who must annotate it in the registry record.
What the law says
After hearing, the court may either dismiss the petition or issue an order granting the cancellation or correction prayed for. In either case, a certified copy of the judgment shall be served upon the civil registrar concerned who shall annotate the same in his record.

The two outcomes after hearing
Section 7 is deliberately binary: after the hearing, the court may either dismiss the petition or issue an order granting the cancellation or correction prayed for. There is no middle outcome written into this section — the judge is not granting part of what you asked for while denying the rest as a separate category here; the ruling is framed as a straightforward grant or denial of the correction as prayed for in the petition.
What happens once the order is granted
A favorable order does not, by itself, change your civil registry record. The rule requires that a certified copy of the judgment shall be served upon the civil registrar concerned, and it is that civil registrar who then annotate[s] the same in his record. In practice, this means the corrected entry only becomes official once the certified judgment has actually reached the local civil registry and been annotated there — the court order and the registry annotation are two separate, sequential steps.
Why not every correction needs this hearing at all
Rule 108's judicial process is no longer the only route. Republic Act No. 9048, later expanded by Republic Act No. 10172, opened an administrative path through the local civil registrar for purely clerical or typographical errors, for a change of first name, and for correcting the day and month of birth or the sex entry where the error is clerical. Those corrections can be resolved with the civil registrar directly, without a court petition or the hearing this section describes.
What still needs the Rule 108 judicial route
Substantial corrections — the kind that affect civil status, citizenship, filiation, or other facts that are not simply clerical slips — still require the judicial proceeding that Section 7's order concludes. If your petition involves more than a typo or an obvious clerical mismatch, expect the case to run through a full hearing under Rule 108, ending in exactly the kind of order this section describes, rather than a simple administrative correction at the civil registrar's counter.
