The report is encouraged within one year of marriage but there is no mention of penalty for reporting it late.

I have been married almost three years. I tried to report my marriage to SFO Consulate when I was there to renew my passport but they did not accept the ROM. Since I married in Vegas, they told me to report the marriage to LAX Consulate who has jurisdiction. End result, my passport was renewed under my old name since "I did not report the marriage".

Bureaucracy at its best!

I believe that thr form will get forwarded to the NSO to register the marriage in the philippines. Otherwise, the filipina would be able to marry another person in the PI legally, cuz she shows no record of marriage in the Philippines.

Report of marriage is needed for your wife to renew her passport in her married name, and your marriage to be acknowledge in the Philippines. It would also allow you to secure NSO marriage certificate.

the above is correct, and yes, no penalty is marriage is reported after more than 30 days, you're required though an affidavit explaining the delay :)
