My wife and I submitted my CNI, birth certificate, divorce decree and my wife's various papers in Bukidnon and waited 10 straight days for the marriage licence to be issued as we did initially intend to marry there, but we eventually married elsewhere, outside that province, without any problems with regard to where the marriage licence was issued.
