Can you guys please find my great-great grandpa's baptismal?
Good day. This may kind of a bit too much, but can you guys find the baptismal of my great grandpa, because I hadn't actually found it yet. His name was Pedro Collada, born in Iriga City, Camarines Sur, his parents being Antonio Collada (G8HT-QX8) and Francisca Laquiap (P7Q9-F8L) (https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/about/L16G-G2H), and he was estimated to be born around 1885-1886. Why did I assume that? According to a 1944 Notarial Record (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSCZ-1QPB-T?view=fullText&keywords=COLLADA%2CCollada&lang=en&groupId=M9MR-XJ6), he is stated to be around 58 years of age, and according to the picture of his lapida which can be seen in the "Memories", his death is on Feb. 6 1951, putting his age at around 65. However, according to his death record, he is said to be 66, putting his birth year around 1884 or 1885. So, I just wanted to see his baptismal just to confirm his definite birthday.

The Roman Catholic baptismal register for Iriga City covering 1884-5 is indexed, but the names you listed do not appear in a search. It is DGS 4302820. It's certainly possible that the record is there but indexed in a way that doesn't return in a search.
1884 begins on Image 670, on the right side. Link to that page:You may want to browse the pages, looking for the names.

I am confused: In another death record (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-DH4S-ZG6?view=explore&groupId=M98D-QZY&lang=en),it says that he died at 69, making his birth year around 1881-1882. I am on page 837 /908 on the page that you gave to me, and I haven't found it yet. I don't know where to go here.

I'd recommend making use of the "Alternate Names" feature under "Other Information". This is used by the system to find records under other names used (Married, Nicknames, AKA). With time and the addition of future data collections HINTS may be returned…
In sources attached to Pedro I see - Diego Collado | Pedro Collada | Pedro Collado
This is especially true for the ladies that go through name
changes in marriage - Francisca Ardal | Francisca OrdasYou can see this in this case in HINTS

Immigration will also force a name change on our Ancestors.1 -
Can I start looking at 1881 or 1882?

Of course, you can look earlier or later, but it is entirely possible that your ancestor is not listed that register. There may have been another parish/church in Iriga City; FamilySearch doesn't necessarily have copies of every record from every church.0
