Totaly agree that whoever, whatever and whyever your doing anything you should treat all and everything with the upmost respect.
I also had a email convo with JL.
I think Pete and Rob and their lovely mahals were applying a few months before us, so the posts which they made detailing the poor customer experience did indeed help a little to change things up. Plus events elsewhere
Plus thanks to Petes one of his great posts that the application system was changing unanounced. Which left the Wife and I forewarned things were changing and in a state of flux. I found the indivual mentioned was very helpful and speedy in her responses via email.
Also to add regarding the Phill embassy I guess along with other countries with high level of ofws, and spouses this is a premier country for the ambassdor to be sent to Although maybe not for the weather.
The UK like peter mentions will not see the benefits sadly of having a flagship embassy in Phill. Compared to say Hong kong, US or other large trade partners
But still manners dont cost a penny.
