Well, here is a definite update. I also emailed the embassy and they finally replied to me.
I am posting this here for the benefit of people like me who might also be in the same situation.
Thanks everyone for your responses!
hello!
i recently got married here in florida to my partner and i was wondering if i am required to register my marriage with the philippine embassy because same sex marriage isn't legally recognized back in the philippines
i am just asking before i put in the effort and money in gathering these notarized documents they are requiring for the registration.
i am also asking here because googling hasn't really given me any answers so hopefully someone in the same situation or someone who knows the answer might find this.
thank you!
