When we got married last year, we didnt need a CENOMAR for me. But I believe you do now. We got one anyway and just simply applied on the internet to the NSO. I had it delivered to my wifes (gf at the time) house. No problems.
Having said that, I cant find the exact website that we used....it may have changed but it was the NSO and E Census. My wife got her CENOMAR that way too.
This looks like it might be the one...

Will it be a civil wedding or Catholic Church wedding?
In addition to the info and links posted by lastlid. here is some other useful general information about overseas marriages and civil partnerships
and some CNI information here including the British Embassy appointment system and how to apply
CNI information here
Please do remember the CNI has only 3 months validity, so plan out carefully what needs to be done and when. It's a good idea to make a project plan from wedding day backwards so you can line it all up.
The CNI is available from your local registry office. It takes 22 days from time of application. It's 21 days for the 'bans'.
You'll need to pre-book an appointment at the British Embassy in the Philippines to be issued a Philippine version called a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry.
This certificate is needed for the application of a marriage license.
Yes, many people are now reporting that you may well be required to obtain a your own CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage) from NSO (National Statistics Office) so you might need to include this contingency as well.
I suggest you always check the latest information for paperwork needed before leaving UK

As I remember before we got married last November,I went NSO office personally,(but prefer Laslid links if don't like waiting for long hours to get it on hand) to get mine and my hubby's(fiance that time) cenomar a month before wedding cos it has only 3months validity of it...Cenomar is only one of the requirements when applying in local registrar here to apply for marriage licence(hmmm,not really sure at other local registrars but as far as I know it is)....
be positive,everything is gonna be ok

... it looks like at least some of us got married - in the nick of time - when CENOMARS were only needed by the bride to be!

Hello,yes you do need a CENOMAR...you can let your fiancee get it from NSO just give her your authorization letter with scanned copy of your valid i.d(that's what i did when i get my hubby's CENOMAR) or you can get it from e-census.It's only valid for 3 months so better get one when your about to come..

The easiest way to obtain the CENOMAR as lastlid says is online at the ecensus website but allowing it to be delivered to the Philippines, you then get a reference where you fiance will goto the local bank and pay in the money. About 2 or 3 days later she'll receive the CENOMAR.
There is the option to pay by credit card, and have it sent overseas, I haven't tried this but can foresee complications.
As has been mentioned regarding the CNI, you first goto the registry office, submit your application and wait 21 days and voila you can collect the CNI.
The CNI when used in the Philippines is valid for 3 months, so you must take it to either the British Embassy in Manila or Honourary Consul in Cebu to have it converted into a local document before that 3 months is up. You need to make an appointment to complete this part, and sometimes its done the same day or sometimes the following day.
You then need to submit this with the other documents to city hall and wait another 10 days for your license to marry.
Essentially it takes some careful planning to get the timing right.
