Should i change my name back before getting a passport?

Philippine Passport Name Change.?

• Hi, Anyone here have applied for name change for Philippine Passport? I tried getting information on the site http://www.philippineconsulatela.org but its too complicated and kinda vague. I tried calling the consulate but no answers the call. I tried emailing them but no one replied to my email. Now my questions are: 1. what are the required forms to be field up to do a name change? 2. If i need to renew passport even if it expires on 2015(i am a holder of a brown e-passport) for the name change do i need to do it in person or can i do it by mail? I hope not since i am miles and miles away from the consulate location. I hope someone can answer me. Thanks.
