This an addendum to my previous question about my having to go to "release counter counter g" to get results of culture test. ANYONE who tested positive for this test could you share your experience with SLEC on the phone and where did you have to go?
thanks again

Since I have been interacting on this forum there has been much mention about the movies the filipinas are shown depicting abusive relationships. Is what is shown a great secret? I know as a husband of a filipina who has gone through this already it is frustrating to have not been able to have been there when the film was shown so I can engage in conversation with my spouse about what was shown. So how about it ? Why not share what the film was about.
My wife did share with me what she saw but there are different films.

PDOS is required for all Filipino emigrants or those leaving the country to settle permanently abroad. The main topic of this seminar is to help the emigrants prepare themselves for settling overseas. Like adjustment to a new environment, how to deal with homesickness, travel regulations, immigration procedures, cultural differences, settlement concerns, etc. 12 years old and below are exempted from attending the PDOS and are only needed to be registered to the CFO Office...
PDOS Requirement:
Photocopy of passport biographic page
NBI Clearance
Fee of Php250 or roughly $5.50
Address: People’s Reform Initiative for Social Mobilization Inc.(PRISM)
2nd Floor Equitable-PCI Bank Building, 2422 Taft Avenue, Manila
Phone Numbers: (632) 525-3114, (632) 525-3783, (632) 525-4314
CFO Stamp is a sticker, stamped into the emigrants passport. This stamp served as a proof that this visa holder has attended the PDOS and is now ready to travel.
CFO Stamp Requirement:
PDOS Certificate
Passport
US Visa
Fee of Php400 or roughly $9
Address: Citigold Center, 1345 Quirino Avenue corner Osmena Highway Manila Phils

The short story is "they" want to make sure your pockets are empty of PESOS before you leave the country...
ANOTHER BUREAUCRATIC WAY by the FILIPINO gov to suck out of the poor pinoy emigrant pocket another 650 pesos
and that not include the AIRPORT taxes......on your way out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD Bless them...........
Very true!!!
Again, depends on how you look at it.
We are not given the statistics on how many Filipinos get saved by this program from abusive/fraudulent jobs or marriage.
If this project saves at least one person from such abuse, I say pay up and quit bashing the government.
Oh, and this project is run partly by a non-government agency. FYI.
Since you are posting here I have to assume that you are referring to abuse and/or fraud in the US to Filipinos. Here is an example of Filipinos breaking US laws. LOS ANGELES — A total of 49 Filipinos were deported back to their home countries by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week. Forty-six of those removed had been convicted of criminal offenses that include felony drug trafficking and possession, child abuse, sex crimes, aggravated assault, weapons possession, identity theft, stalking and burglary. How many of these offenders would be saved if they attended CFO seminars ? What does this program do to help Filipinos when In Asia, 60% of all women have been assaulted. The impact on children is appalling. Body Shop International estimates that 1.8 to 3.2 million children in the Philippines are exposed to domestic violence and suffer the traumatic effects for the rest of their lives. This number just escalates year after year. The real reason for CFO registration/seminar is to arrive at a more sophisticated economic and demographic profile by countries/territories of residence, and maintain a computer-based system for ensuring accessibility of up-to-date information about overseas Filipino communities, overseas Filipino professionals will be enjoined to contribute to Philippine sustainable development as advocates of the Philippines, and as resource persons in their countries of residence which now seek expertise to guide policy making and investment decisions in the Asia-Pacific region, The PHILNEED SYSTEM also includes the basic procedures involved in sending donations to the Philippines, list of government hospitals, list of schools offering vocational and tertiary degrees, and DSWD-accredited NGO's. The contributions of Filipinos overseas to the Philippines have been immense. Overseas remittances, through official channels alone, reached an all time high of US$7.6 billion for the year 2003. It accounts for about 16 percent of the country's total current account receipts and 10 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Those who eventually acquire the citizenship of their adopted country continue to maintain filial links with people in the Philippines and manifest an abiding interest in the progress or developments in their country of origin. Register with us, register with us. Send us money, send us money. The point is that Filipinos emigrating to the US do not need anyone leading them by the hand, they are very well aware of any dangers that might lurk in another country and certainly know how to dial 911 for any problem that might happen and keep the Filipino Government out of your pocket.

Believe the concept of Pinay and Kano is not politicaly correct. If Kano is an offset of American then by the same token Flip would be an offset of Filipino. Yea I know it can get confusing. Even if you live in the United States will your husband ever be anything but a Foreigner ? Or would you be the Foreigner ?

OK.....I am sorry to bother you all with this after all the help everyone gave me this week on getting the papers out......my wife ex of 2 years found out that we were engaged and she was coming to the states ....and flipped out (she left him for him being abusive).......he is American and stationed overseas......he is saying that he is going to do harm and is going there ON THE JULY 4TH WEEK END......now we don't know if she should go to the police or what since she is going to have to go get the police papers for the embassy......what are we to do? Any help or advice would be appreciated!!!!! add it here or email it privately...
Ignore the ex, it's all bluster....Your gal should have some male relatives, right?
Did you ever see what happens to a foriegnor when they tangle with a group of filipino males (on the filipino's turf)?
Not a pretty sight.
WOW !! We have a bunch of Visa Journey executioners among us. What about knowing both sides of the story before giving any stupid un-informed advice
with the use of violence. There are police officers all over the Philippines that when summoned are able to stop any threat to be carried out. Just for your information ..... The USemb has a 24 hour number you can call if you feel there is an emergency.
