They don't do amendment or name change anymore. Instead the passport needs to be renewed. The Phil. Embassy doesn't process the passports. It will be sent to Manila. The same thing with DFA regional offices in Phils.. they (DFA) accept passport applications but it will be sent to Manila, that why even back home it can take up to 4 weeks to 12 weeks.
