Yes the CRBA is filed at the US embassy in the country where the child was born.

That would mean I must be present when doing that?

For Manila, the CRBA document submission has to be done in person. However, it seems that they may consider processing even if one parent is absent:

• The child must be present a the interview. Both parents are strongly encouraged to accompany the child.

You DO NOT have to be present at the embassy in Manila for your daughters CRBA interview. All the info you need can be found at this link here: http://manila.usembassy.gov/service/citizenship/first-time-report-of-birth-abroad7.html

There is extra consent forms and stuff you have to fill out for your wife/fiance to be able to do it by herself in order to get the passport. I just went a few weeks ago, the CO told me to expect 3-4 weeks for the CRBA and passport. I received them both in 2 weeks exactly. Hope this helps!
