I thought one of the requirements for spouse visa was the NSO copy of marriage certificate, but in your documents you listed, it seems that you have supplied only a Cenomar?

Was it spouse or fiance visa you applied for?

It was a spousal visa.

3-A.. We supplied the original marriage license which had been endorsed by the local registrar / Not the NSO copy. My wife has just been to the NSO Office in Tacloban and they have issued her with an NSO copy on the spot
