hey terrie congrats! I HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE like yours. I got my passport and other documents last feb.14 but i found out that my original marriage certificate wasn't returned to me. I have submitted 1 original copy of my marriage certificate from the Civil registrars office of Quezon City and one xerox copy and 1 original NSO marriage certificate and 1 copy of it. So I emailed the embassy about it and I haven't gotten any response from them yet. I'm now in the UK , SO IF EVER I get it back I'd just ask them to send it to my sister's address in PHILS. HOPE YOU GET URS BACK.
