If there is any other way to get the marriage certificate, even if it means paying someone else like a lawyer or something and even if it costs double or even 3 times as much that, I think I would prefer to do that than to give in to this sort of blackmail. The one thing about Phils that I really detest is that the people there who are already a lot better off than most are the ones who are the greediest and most dishonest.
