    @don2 nakalagay po alam ko sa visa natin na Philippine government requres something prior departure something like that.. Australia doesn't require cfo stamp, only the philippine immigration. May mga nakaalis naman without cfo stamp, pero mabuti na rin ang sure baka mapagtripan ng immigration dito eh ma off-load pa tayo.. Unless nalang if you are departing from other country, you don't need cfo sticker na..

    Hassle free naman daw po ang pagtake ng pdos so okay lang yan :)

    The best way to do is check the website of CFO kung para at sino talaga dapat mag attend. For me it's best to follow the Philippine rules for departing fiance,partners or spouse of foreign nationals or pinoy na naging au citizen na. @filipinacpa korek ka jan sis sa sinabi mongoose hassle free. Kesa kung kelan ka paalis di ka pasakayin ng plane coz u don't have the cfo sticker in ur passport.

    one of my friend and her family did not do the cfo/pdos. They were put on hold at the airport. Then my friend told the phil immigration that it was not a requirement based on thier application. After a tearful hours of "pakiusapan" they were allowed to go with some warnings. But they were nearly did not catch the flight and the hassle and stress is not worth for a try. Better follow the good ways guys.

    @shela_79_02 sis kya nga it's only 4 hrs to attend anyway. We have to follow the rules. While ur PMV/PV visa application is on process ur allowed nman to attend the CFO seminar. Don't listen sa sinabi ni ganito, do a research online especially to the CFO website. CHeers
