It really depends on where it is being delivered or whether it is being picked up from a 2Go branch. Patty's took all of 3 days. We're staying in Bulacan and picked

it up from 2Go branch at the Mall of Asia. She got approved Aug 16 and visa in hand Aug 19.

You may want to try researching Igor's Time-line, here on VJ. It is an invaluable resource for questions like yours. Anywhere from 3 to 15 business days not including holidays is the average. I impetuously counted 10 business days, not including holidays, plus 1 extra day to receive the CFO sticker so 16 business days on the 17th day she flies...

She is set to pick up at MOA, same as Dindo & Patty, so far 4 business days ...

The CFO is not a issue because it was done since January to be able to change her passport to her married name as requirement. Thanks for the info

But does the new passport, with the visa in it, have the CFO sticker?

She went through the class already so she has her certificate to return to get her sticker when she has her visa.

Get the sticker before you leave even a day before your departure is okay.
