Anyways, if you are planning to marry in PH, DoN’t. Do a utah wesding or just k1.
PH is trying hard to keep its people ignorant and poor.
-closed during covid
-embassy document to get married
-waste of time marriage counseling making it hard for those doing the right thing, but nothing is being dine to educate those girls having kids and becoming single mom
-then the wedding license
-then had to “meet the requirement” for the the judge, additional process, you already met the requirement when u got your license
-then 2 days finding a judge available
-asking around people at the registrars office and all courthouses and city hall didnt know where we had to go after getting the license
-then they treat u like thet are doing u a favor by giving u a date
-the wedding date is weeks after, so u had to sit snd wait or go traveling
-then during the marriage ceremony, the judge married 3 couples at the same time
- judge said he wanted to do it quick, so the small room was packed with 3 couples and all families and friends
-then judge didnt even want to take pics with each couple
-then it takes forever to get your cwerified registered copy of the marrigae certificate
-even with the expedite it took like 6 weeks
-the certificate had wrong age, place of birth and spelling of ok be name
-big process to change your name to marriage name
This is bot all coincidence, we had to spend time and money to change my wife’s birth certificate too because it had wrong sex and other jnfo. Her sisters, and friends also had problem on their birth certificate
You can tell why PH stays so. Behind and poor, the government is causing the ignorance
to top it all off, the “marriage counselor” wanted me to answer personal questions in front of the group, i had to confront her and tell her that participating in the counseling session is required by law, but people are not actually required to answer questions or have their personal lives exposed in front of a group, it is not mandatory for participants to actually talk to her
all of us hungry, no close place to eat durjng the marriage counseling, and they gave us a piece of bread and water
you have to sign a book, the forms, other documents . This government is keeping their people way behind other asian countries…
The whole marriage process caused so much stress that we had so many arguments and almost called off the wedding… Philippines is a complete disaster, it takes forever to do any simple task
forgot to mention, after getting the visa then u need the cfo to leave the country, #######
