Article VIII (1)(A) of the U.S.-Philippine Consular Convention provides that U.S. consular officers may take voluntary depositions in the Philippines of U.S. citizens and permanent residents of the United States regardless of the nature of the proceedings, provided no compulsion is used. The Philippines is not a party to the Hague Evidence Convention. Oral depositions or depositions on written questions may be taken by U.S. consular officers or by private attorneys from the United States or the Philippines at the U.S. Embassy or at another location such as a hotel or office, either on notice or pursuant to a commission. If the services of a U.S. consular officer are required to administer an oath to the witness, interpreter and stenographer, such arrangements must be made in advance with the U.S. embassy directly.
