Woah, really?! That would be most convenient. Can I just get the sticker at NAIA on the day of my departure, provided that I call ahead of time?

Yes you can. I will have to see if I can find the phone number.

Here ya go:

CFO - Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Office

NAIA Terminal 1: (+632) 879-5685

So - you get interviewed by the embassy - AND you get interviewed at the CFO?!? I dont understand why the CFO would interview you. I thought the CFO was "Commission on Filipinos Overseas" and their purpose was to help prepare the migrating Filipino how to adjust to new life by offering a seminar - albeit a mandatory one.

They also want to make sure that the relationship is legit cause they're concerned about the welfare of the Filipino citizen, especially since there have been many cases of abuse and human trafficking in the past. So they do the interview, to see if the Filipino citizen actually knows who they are marrying, and if it seems as though they would be - more or less - in good hands. That's how I understood it anyway.
