mr.per, I understand your situation, however, the China embassy in Bangkok has asked you to return to Philippines to apply for visa, then you have to do so. The desicion is up to embassy, we can't do anything. I guess that there are 2 reasons, first, you hold Religious Afflicated visa in Thailand, China has strict regulations on religious preaching in China, second, for Filipinos applicants who apply for China visa for the first time, there are lots of requirements should be provided.
