Source? Is this from the USEM Website? And also how are they changing a big item such as the bank when they supposedly aren't even operating?

It's called a contract.   I presume it was up for negotiations long before covid

Of course it is on the Embassy website . . .  but feel free to start up something on the Filipino Grapevine and use Trump's name three or four times.

Visa fees change every few weeks depending on exchange rates

I see, but I'm reading through the site it doesn't say anything about "what if you have a BPI Receipt Number"

As far as I can tell, no such thing as a BPI or RCBC receipt number but it is a US consulate unique receipt number
