Does it require a bribe or can we speak to the manager of the registrar office as the registrar is insisiting that we both have to be there and do this before applying for the marriage license.

Ive read elsewhere that they can just pretend you attended and give a certificate but dont know if this has to be a bribe or you can officially do it.
Haha...love it.

As said above, bad luck, you'll be required to attend their daft little counselling session, just to be sure that you really are an adult, that your intended is warned of all the perils of marrying a crazy foreigner, and above all, that she is made aware of all the banks sponsoring the session, and their fantastic remittence facilities, so that monies earned in the horrid foreign country can easily be sent back to the Phils.
