I am taking another STEP closer to my Fiance:heartshape1:
I will be traveling to Cebu on the 11th to 13th of April for my CFO Seminar. In case there are forum members from Davao or neighboring cities would be there on the same date and with the same purpose, I would be glad to travel with you.
Accommodation
Since I do not have relatives in Cebu, I will be staying at Sampaguita Suites (Plaza Garcia) They have affordable room rates. However, unlike other hotels and inns, they do not serve free breakfast...
**Additional: There are two Sampaguita Suites in Cebu,
1. Sampaguita Suites JRG - this is 5 mins.walk to the venue to the CFO Seminar venue (across USC Boys High School)
2. Sampaguita Suites Plaza Garcia - this is around 30 mins. (maximum) away to the seminar and counseling venue by taxi. BUT, this is a walk away from CFO Office (near DFA Cebu Building) where you will proceed after the seminar and one-on-one counseling for the CFO sticker.

Seminar Info (According to Respected Forum Members)
The seminar takes place at St. Mary Euphrasia Foundation-Center for Overseas Workers. This is my first drop. SMEF-COW Cebu does not have specific schedule for seminar and counseling by country of travel. They accommodate around 20 people each day (regardless of where you will be going), unlike the SMEW-COW in Manila.
These are the documents and few reminders from Grace
