The person that was listed on my sister birthcertificate is my cousin

 

That is not a simple clerical error, so you will likely need a family lawyer in the Philippines to get the birth certificate corrected.  There may need to be a court hearing.  Check here for more info -- https://psa.gov.ph/article/correction-entry

 

Even if your mom is somehow able to get her name on the birth certificate, the PSA BC will likely be annotated and will show that the correction was made when the daughter is already over 18.  The US embassy in Manila tends to require additional identity/relationship documents from the visa applicant when they have a late-registered or corrected BC.  DNA testing may also be required.  But that is something to worry about in the far future.  Sort out the PSA birth certificate first.

It gets interesting...

 

 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Only one just my younger brother :).  My sister situation is complicated because my mom is not on her birthcertificate. Anyway, I am just asking an advice about my sister situation. If not we dont need to petition her :) .

No she cannot petition her. Her name is not on the birth certificate. Your mother did not raise her and provide care for her all her life, and she is over 18. 
 

A DNA test doesn’t matter she is not listed as the legal parent. You are probably misinformed on your sisters legal custody is with the cousin. Regardless of it was an adoption in court or not. For immigration purposes your mother has prove she provided care for them while she lived in the USA. 

Phase I - IV - Completed the Immigration Journey
