Hi @IamTim , thanks for sharing your experience, I managed to register pa lang pero hindi nagproceed sa pagpili ng schedule ng seminar. I received an email pa lang with my assigned officer then need magsend ng requirements. Sabi din sa email “CFO Officers will go over your documents which can take a few days to process. We will update your verification status thru another e-mail”. Ganun rin ba experience mo?
