I just got my ECC in Cebu City.

It took only 1 hour to process.

The things I was required to show were:

• 3 passport photos
• ACR card
• Passport

That's it. Not 6 photos, 3. No plane tickets, no photocopies of anything, no receipt of my last visa extension, no fingerprints.

The application form was a single page with the usual questions on it. Also it asked about your flight information, ACR card number (it's in the top left), address in PH and your home country and your reason for leaving(!)

It probably varies depending on your location and the wind direction so take this with a grain of salt.
