Philippine Consulate General in Toronto
The Consulate General serves the Greater Toronto Area, Western Ontario and Manitoba. Events that happened in Eastern Ontario or the Ottawa-Gatineau region, and the people who live there, belong to the Embassy in Ottawa; the Consulate will not process a civil registry report from outside its own territory.
The Consulate General on the 7th floor of 160 Eglinton Avenue East, near Yonge and Eglinton in midtown Toronto, is the busiest Philippine post in Canada.
It has served the city since 1978 and its current jurisdiction covers the largest Filipino community in the country: the census counts more than 360,000 people of Philippine origin in Ontario, most of them in the Toronto area, plus the Manitoba community it reaches through outreach missions and the honorary consulate in Winnipeg.

Two things set Toronto apart from the other posts. It accepts dual citizenship applications by mail, with photocopies, the original signed form and a bank draft, which saves Manitoba residents a 2,000 km round trip until the oath itself.
And it publishes the national list of honorary consuls, so this is where you check whether the office someone mentioned in Winnipeg or Halifax actually exists.
