congrats!

CFO isn't really bad... as long as the counselee is ready before going there, then it should not cause them any delays. CFO does not withheld/not issue anyone's certificate unless

You forgot one reason that people have recently been denied a CFO stamp:

X. Applicant failed to pay for CFO officer's lunch.

But do I really need to bring mama with me? We live in Tacloban, only me my older sister and older brother is here in Manila. Can I just bring one of them instead of mama?

No don't need to bring your parents. Just need the notarized consent/advice letter and..... do bring your mother's ID (and two copies) as suggested in my GUIDE

I am really glad to know I don't need to bring mama here in Manila anymore, that would be another expenses and a big problem because no one would watch over my little sister. I really hope this is not going to be a problem in CFO.

Hello Marivic, I am happy to hear as well :) .. I am planning to take CFO when I already have my visa on hand. I am done with medical last Sept. 5 and 6 and had my interview last Sept. 17. I am just waiting for my visa now. And you?

Whoa! It would really going to be a big problem for me if I really need to bring mama to CFO. Those people who had to return with their mom/ parent, did they bring copies and ID's of their mom/parents? Maybe that's why they were asked to return with their parents because they didn't bring their parents ID and it's photo copies.
