Before you plan the journey
Three of the most searched Philippine procedures in the United States are not consular procedures at all, and knowing that is worth more than knowing the opening hours:
The short version: PSA certificates are ordered online from Manila, apostilles on documents issued in Rhode Island come from the state's own competent authority, since 15 May 2019 the consulate cannot authenticate them, and the NBI clearance travels by mail; its fingerprints can be taken at a consulate or at a police station, according to the NBI.
Two things are worth the journey because they cannot be done any other way: passport biometrics and the oath. For a special power of attorney there is a second route, a local notary and an apostille, according to the notarial page of the Chicago consulate.
By road, Providence is 179 miles from the New York consulate (3 h 53 min at posted speed limits). In this district, appointment availability is the constraint to plan around.
