Hello vj friends , i just want to ask regarding the Seminar because I will be attending it on Tuesday nov 4 since my flight will be on Nov 5 God Willing. I will be staying in paranaque and just wondering where is the best and more convenient for seminar since i dont know much about NCR. What i have in mind right now is that, WHERE IS THE PLACE FOR BETTER SEMINAR ,THE PRISM OR SMEF-COW? with regards to consistency in requirements or rules. If it will be in PRISM, then its 2 stations away from CFO for LRT, right? im confused. Salamat sa tulong

You are in PQ so you are a lot nearer in TAFT where PRISM is.

If I know where in PQ you will be coming from, I might give you a direction going there.

halo sis, i guess it better that u will attend the seminar at PRISM, cuz, its near at CFO building where u will need to go after the PRISM to have your passport CFO sticker, which is just 6-10 minutes drive from PRISM building, QC is from away from CFO building so i guess IMhO i would like u to attend the seminar at PRISM. dont worry about the CFO requirements, since u have the VISA already they wont ask u for more, but just bring all the neccesary docs they probably ask u, like ur NBI and BC, and please dont forget the middle name of ur hubby. and sis about BDO thing, please if ur in the hurry dont avail for it anymore, since they will eat ur time, mahirap na baka ma abot ka ng ting close nila sa CFO building, wat time ba plan mo mag seminar? mas maaga mas mabuti. happy trip sis jet... im so happy for u.

There's no difference as you'll be shown an episode of Magandang Gabi Bayan about spousal abuse. If in Prism, a sales talk for a BDO remittance account will be conducted.) Group counselling about general regulations wherein you'll be given a handout. And since your fiancee is a Filipino, your individual counselling won't last five minutes.

It's better to go to Prism since you're coming from Parañaque, then take a cab to Quirino Ave. (Kung jeep baka maligaw ka pa.) Go straight along Taft Ave. and turn right to Quirino Ave. When you are about to reach South Super (Osmeña) Highway, tell the driver to make a u-turn as the CFO office is no the other side.

Be at Prism by 9:00. And expect to be finished by 3:00pm at CFO.

November 10 will be fine. No need for reservations. Just be at Prism around 9:00 am so that after lunch you can go to CFO. Don't forget your passports and other documents.

BTW when I had the seminar, two of the attendees had their flights in the evening. Two days lead time is ok.
