Thank you for the well wishes!
So after PPR, my email had instructions to submit to VFS Manila.
I couriered via WWExpress (affiliated with DHL - P110, P140 via LBC), PPR email copy, original passports and passport sized photos.
Today, I got an SMS from VFS Manila and I called them. Apparently, there was supposed to be a payment together with our passports and photos. And so I went to visit the VFS Manila office today to submit payment in cash. They will also accept managers check by mail I guess if you can figure out the exact amount from their website. Anyway, I paid P1850 for the 3 of us, that includes I think P68 each for SMS update. I decided to just pick up the passports when they're ready (Parking is P90 for the first 3 hours). Courier fee is P285 each. You can track your passports at their website.
