TIPS:
If you are like me who travelled from Cebu to Bacolod and you have a work or need to get back the next day, follow these steps.:
1. Check the bus, ship or plane schedules ( the last trip for example). This will help you manage your time.
2. Be in the site (DFA branch) early. This can make you negotiate to the guard or the staff inside. In my case, the guards were the ones who helped me finished it quicker than the people lining up. I really needed to get back to Cebu, and I said the last bus trip in going back.
3. Photocopy your documents that are necessary. This is to avoid delay and hassles of finding a machine (though they have one inside)
For more information, you may contact them to these details:

Sarah Jean Buhay enjoys traveling, sharing information about transportation schedules and fares, places to visit and eat and giving her genuine insights for readers. She once moved in Cebu from the suburban of Laguna for almost two years to fully become independent and explore more of herself and her home country, Philippines. When she travels, she tries to stay longer to understand more of the people and the place. She also stayed in South Korea for 2 months, visited Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam for a week and is currently living in Sydney, Australia.
Hi! I booked online first for the appointment. I travelled from Cebu to Bacolod.. so I checked all the bus and ship or flight schedules in heading back home because I needed to go back the next day as I had a work. So that I could negotiate to the people inside even though there was a queue. I went there earlier than my scheduled time then I asked the security guards to allow me. It was faster as they were accommodating to people like me who really needs to catch up the last bus trip. You need to prepare all your documents and photocopy it so that you are good to go when your name will be called. LBC branch is also in there in case you would want to deliver it right at the front of your house. Good luck!
