What we did was go to civil registry and ask for requirements. From experience, requirements varies. A friend of mine were required that both parents be present during filing, for an interview. But with mine, we completed the given requirements but only a few were considered. There were also new requirements added to the list, It was a good thing we called before traveling from manila-cebu. Took only a day to process and got the result in less than 2 months.
