Does PRISM still conduct CFO seminars?

[ilove-t 0]

Happy Tuesday! Anyone here who recently attended their CFO seminar? Which office did you go to and what time did you go there?

Can I go to PRISM around 9am (for the 10am session) for the Guidance and Counseling seminar and just get the sticker at CFO Manila in Quirino after?

Also, is the Pre-departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) same as the Guidance and Counseling Seminar or are they different? And do I have to attend both?

Your response will be greatly appreciated.

Nope. CFO does all the counseling on their own now. There was a topic on this a few days ago, if you find that you will get all the info you need.

CFO does the interview. There are two locations; Cebu and Manila. You can find the procedure outline here with address and phone numbers: http://www.cfo.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1348&Itemid=918

There are only 15 slots in the morning and 15 slots for the afternoon. Most days they are filled by all those that are standing in line when CFO opens. If you are not in line by 4 am you can expect that the slots will be filled for the 30 slots available. Sometimes you will get lucky and get a slot if you are a late arrival but I would not take my chances if you are on a schedule or are trying to get everything done in a certain amount of time as you maybe staying in a hotel etc. etc.
