CFO Seminar Experience

[Cherry&Ed 4]

I had my CFO seminar last Wednesday, February 18. I know this one is a late post... My PC got messed up and sad to say it was reformatted.

Okay, back to the topic...hehe

I attended the CFO seminar at St. Mary's Convent in Quezon City. I woke up at 3am then take the bus at 4am (Cavite to Pasay MRT Station). Took the MRT and paid PhP14.00 for single-journey ticket (From Taft Station to Cubao). From Cubao, I ride a taxi, paid PhP90.00 and arrived at 6:00am. I belong to the first session and it started at 7:30am.

I suggest that you must first have your visa so that the CFO officer will have your passport stickered and you can leave the country any time you want.

Here are the things you need to bring:

1. Passport (original and 2 photocopies)

2. Visa (original and 3 photocopies)

3. PhP650.00 (PhP250.00 for the Counseling Fee and PhP400.00 for the CFO Sticker plus the Counseling Certificate)

I log my full name and destination to the guard, then the receptionist called my name and asked me to submit my passport with visa and the photocopies. She gave me forms to fill-up, paid PhP250, took my picture and after that, the seminar/counseling session started.

When the seminar was finished I went back to the reception and then submitted the forms I filled up. Then I went to the CFO Office, paid PhP400 and the CFO officer put a sticker on my passport and gave my guidance and counseling certificate.

11:30am, I'm done with everything... I can fly anytime...hehhe

From Cubao MRT you should have taken the LRT II line as it has a station beside St. Mary's.

Php 90, thats an expensive fare. Did the taxi driver use his meter or negotiated with you on the price. FX is just Php 20 or 25. LRT is just Php 12 or 14.

I'm not familiar with the place and it's my first time to go to Katipunan. I'm more familiar with MRT than LRT but on my way home I took LRT line 2. I just want to thank God I did not get lost and reached the place safely.

Hello! Congrats! I'm happy for you that you can fly since you already done with the seminar and had the sticker on your passport.

Just wondering, what made you decide to go to St. Mary's Convent in Quezon City rather than in People's Reform Initiative for Social Mobilization Inc. in Taft? Quezon City is farther than Malate Manila.

[Cherry&Ed 4]

I've decided to go to St. Mary's because that's the place that is indicated in my visa packet and I don't know the place that you've said.

I see. I thought you went there for some other reason. I searched it on http://www.cfo.gov.ph/. There are two places where we can have the seminar and registration. Thank you Thank you!

I'm happy for you! Congrats again.

Just want to ask, Did you had a hard time during your interview at USEM? I'm still going to schedule mine later. You can send me a personal message if you don't mind.

Ingat lagi. God bless!

Hi there,

There is nothing to worry on your interview, for sure you will be fine. They usually ask how did u met ur fiance? when did u met him? How long your relationship b4 u decided to go with him? how many times he come here in PI? then bring some pictures as an evidence of your relationship, phone bills, email etc. bring all the forms and NBI and Affidavit of Support. So just relax and no need to get worried or nervous. ok? Good luck to ur interview! God bless u...
