Locations are in the link provided.

CFO:

ALL exiting required to attend.

http://www.cfo.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1348:fiancee-spouses-and-other-partners-of-foreign-nationals&catid=140#ThirdA

Required documents & "OTHER DOCUMENTS" they ask for at CFO: copies of; CENOMAR, certified birth certificate, bio page of passport, visa page from passport, pictures together, from USC - bio page of passport, birth certificate, divorce decree (if been married before) are the most common. The "other documents" clause can be ANYTHING with those nit-wits at CFO.

** From the Family Code of the Philippines: it's 21-25 years old for advice and 18-21 years old for consent.

Art. 14. In case either or both of the contracting parties, not having been emancipated by a previous marriage, are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, they shall, in addition to the requirements of the preceding articles, exhibit to the local civil registrar, the consent to their marriage of their father, mother, surviving parent or guardian, or persons having legal charge of them, in the order mentioned. Such consent shall be manifested in writing by the interested party, who personally appears before the proper local civil registrar, or in the form of an affidavit made in the presence of two witnesses and attested before any official authorized by law to administer oaths. The personal manifestation shall be recorded in both applications for marriage license, and the affidavit, if one is executed instead, shall be attached to said applications. (61a)

Art. 15. Any contracting party between the age of twenty-one and twenty-five shall be obliged to ask their parents or guardian for advice upon the intended marriage. If they do not obtain such advice, or if it be unfavorable, the marriage license shall not be issued till after three months following the completion of the publication of the application therefor.A sworn statement by the contracting parties to the effect that such advice has been sought,together with the written advice given, if any, shall be attached to the application for marriage license. Should the parents or guardian refuse to give any advice, this fact shall be stated in the sworn statement.

As mentioned Quirino is the CFO office for issuing the sticker they don't do the seminar, its only a couple blocks from PRISM on Taft that does the seminar.

are you done for your seminar at CFO? because QUIRINO is just a place where you get your sticker but not for seminar, i went to TAFT AVE, for my CFO SEMINAR and went to QUIRINO for my sticker same day to my flight. ..

As mentioned Quirino is the CFO office for issuing the sticker they don't do the seminar, its only a couple blocks from PRISM on Taft that does the seminar.

oh ok.. sorry i'm mistaken by that.. I haven't had my seminar yet.. so I planned to just finish it in one day. So for my seminar i need to go first at PRISM w/c is on Taft Avenue? and then After the seminar, will be heading at CFO in Quirino for the sticker? Can I ask the exact address at PRISM for the Seminar?

Can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you..

Hi, I've been browsing to where the location of CFO is in Manila at first I thought it's the one on Quirino.. then I just saw some posts stating that they went to their CFO seminar located at Katipunan, in Quezon City.. I'll be attending my meeting 3days before my flight so I just want to know where exactly. Thank you.. ^^

Personally I would not wait 3 days before my flight, you never know what kind of hoops those wonderful folks will have you jump through, you never what kind of mood you might find those ladies in and they can always hit you with #4 -- the big 'gotcha.'

Requirements for Attendance to Guidance and Counseling Program

  1. Two (2) valid identification cards (IDs) with photograph;
  2. Duly completed guidance and counseling form;
  3. If married, certified true copy and photocopy of marriage contract on security paper from the National Statistics Office, or Local Civil Registry Offices; or original and photocopy of marriage contract duly authenticated by the Philippine Embassy/ Consulate (if married abroad)
  4. Other documents as may be required by the counselors; and
  5. Payment of P250.00 counseling fee.
