Family planning certificate

[Lovemanila]

Can confirm that there is no need to complete the family planning certificate if you are over the age of 24 in metro manila. Yes we did pay extra to not do it.

We did not go down this route but its even possible to get the marriage license without legal capacity depending who you know at the highest level. Luckily we have the legal capacity but for 25,000 pesos this could be waived and was even offered no 10 day waiting period. Yes a bribe can fix anything in Manila.

Actually my friend did not have legal capacity when he got married 8 years ago and he got the license without it.

But like I explained in an earlier post my fiance got my legal capacity in advance. The British embassy gave this to her knowing Im not there, so if this facility exists then obviously you can get the marriage license before your arrival.

Yes, I'm sure many of us are well aware of the possibility of using corrupt practices in the Phils for getting what we want (assuming one has the financial means), but I really don't think it's wise to be discussing what probably amount to ILLEGAL and fraudulent activities on an open forum.

Personally I would recommend that all applicants for visas follow the correct and fully legal procedures, rather than impatiently taking short cuts that may well finish up being a false economy, nevermind risk getting either you, your partner, or both some time in jail.

If you get locked up in Manila, you won't like it.
