Is an AUTHENTICATED Health Certificate for Dogs necessary for it to enter the Philippines?

I do know that an import permit from the Bureau of Animal Industry Animal Health Division is needed and i have that already.

I heard people say that the Consulate General of the Phils. must authenticate this document. But this is according to Philippine Embassy in the US. But the site for the Philippine Embassy in The Hague or Sydney say that it is not necessary.

I dont know what to do! Traveling all the way to New York is beyond impossible since I’m leaving…SOON.

You do not need to have the import permit authenticated.
I would recommend you bring the pets health record just in case.
Beware the customs crocodile at Manila airport. I was extorted for P49,000 to bring my chocolate lab into the country and he was neutered !
