Sa pagkakaalam ko, ikaw lang yong magse-seminar di na kasali yong fiance/fiancee na foreign national.

HI, for us it's not PDOS, but rather CFO seminar. We have to have a certificate of attendance for that and the most important thing is the sticker that we have to get as soon as our visa arrived.

They have incorporated PDOS with the CFO seminar, if you will notice, you are given the list of things to bring and where to go to when you get to the airport and contact nos abroad if you need help, that is PDOS already, pero brief na lang yun. CFO is just the commission's name. :D
