The question is, do you want to go to the CFO office to do the seminar and get the certificate AND then go back again after visa grant to get the sticker affixed to your passport?

Yes. I'm applying for Partner Visa @nfronda. I have a follow-up question, do you think pwede na sa Cebu CFO ako mag-attend ng seminar then sa Manila CFO ako kukuha ng sticker if ever? Or needed ba na same CFO office yung seminar & registration (sticker)? I'll be having kasi my Medical Examination sa Cebu tomorrow kaya I intend nalang din to attend the CFO seminar on Wednesday afternoon habang nasa Cebu pa ako.

Having said that, believe that is sufficient but you still probably need the sticker to be placed. Best to give them a call. First hand info is always best!
