This is not quite correct. You can apply in Cebu.
You can also apply for a local CNI through our Honorary British Consuls (HBC) listed below. Please contact the HBC in the area nearest you for an appointment.

Hi Andy and welcome to the forum. We had to wait 10 days for the Legal Capacity thingy, I believe that is the norm here.

BTW - if you want to meet me when you arrive in Cebu - maybe I or my wife will be able to answer some of your questions.

You can get the Legal Capacity Certificate while you wait at the British Embassy in Manila, I'm not sure about the consulate in Cebu, but you'll probably have to wait up to 10 days for a marriage licence once you've got that. On top of that you'll probably have to attend a pre-marital seminar as well.

We had the option to attend the 'pre-marital seminar' or pay 400 peso's
This was in Manila, they may conduct things differently in Cebu
