A few hours ago, I was at Harvest in BGC for a Bloggers Event organized by Teleserv for a briefing of their citizen services.
Teleserv is a local company that has partnered with several agencies of the Philippine government to make it easier for people to secure important documents such as the NSO Authenticated Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Death Certificate and CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage.). They also have an existing tie-up with the Department of Foreign Affairs in providing passport appointment services.
Prior to responding to their invite, my mom had already tried one of their services when she requested for her birth certificate via phone. I was actually there when she coordinated with their call center and knowing my mom who loves asking questions, I knew the person on the other line had to be extremely professional and patient.
My mom got her birth certificate with no issues. Otherwise, she would have ranted about it. I have also renewed my passport a few months ago and encountered no problems with booking the appointment for my personal appearance and having my passport delivered. I even got mine about a day or two earlier than scheduled! :) Thus, I am sharing this post because I am satisfied with their services and not because I was fed with a humongous breakfast. :P

Philippine Passport Application/Renewal
How to Apply for a New Passport/Renewal : Visiting their website will tell you all you need to know. Tip : Pay special attention on what you need to wear on the day of the appointment. When I went to DFA for my passport appointment, I was heartbroken for those who had appointments but were denied entrance to the DFA because they wore slippers or sleeveless shirts. Safe Outfit : Plain collared shirt, maong pants, shoes.
To those who wear contact lens : Avoid wearing colored lenses because you will be asked to remove them for your passport photo.
Here's the website you need to visit to book the appointment : http://www.passport.com.ph/
