Countersignature:

When you have completed the form, someone who has known you personally for at least two (2) years, in the Philippines, should complete and sign the countersignature part on the Passport application form. That person should be a British national or a Commonwealth citizen who is a Member of Parliament, Justice of the Peace, Minister of Religion, Bank Officer, Established Civil Servant, or professionally qualified person, e.g. Lawyer, Engineer, Doctor, School Teacher, Police Officer or a person of similar standing and should also be a resident in the Philippines. Procedures include a check on the authenticity of the countersignatories. If you do not know a British national or other Commonwealth citizens with these qualifications, a Philippine citizen may complete and sign the form, provided he/she has a similar standing in the Philippines and has known you for two (2) years. A member of your family should not countersign.

Passport Photographs:

Photo standards are very important. Applications may be delayed because of incorrect photos. Please see the Identity and Passport Service Guidance for full details: http://www.ips.gov.uk/passport/apply...-standards.asp. Please send two identical copies of a photograph of yourself taken within the last month. The photographs must be:
· 45 millimeters (mm) by 35 millimeters i.e. (1.77 inches by 1.38 inches)

· a close-up of your head and shoulders so that your face covers approximately 65 to 75% of the photograph
The one who countersigns your application should also write on the back of one of the photograph the words “I certify that this is a true likeness of ……” and add his/her signature and the date.

Yes it needs to be countersigned by someone who has known you for at least two years.
