If I were you get your sticker, attend the GC whenever your ready and BEFORE PEAK TIMES for DECEMBER comes to avoid hassles. you have your visa and docus already so why not do it right away, that'll keep your mind at ease after.

You could try to call the CFO desk at NAIA
Their tel is 8795685.

CFO has a desk at NAIA where you can collect the sticker (as long as you have all the paperwork and certificate)

You need to call them well ahead of time.
Tell them your flight details and get confirmation that someone will be at the desk and will wait for you to give you the sticker.

Well that's if any staff will be working that day.

Worth a try anyway.

Hi melovesengland :) thnx for the help . Done already the seminar last Feb at SMEF-COW and got my certificates. My location is here in Mindanao and am still working till dec 21. Would be wise to do it 2days before my departure to save money and spend Christmas with my family here and students since hubby is working that day. Just worried coz not sure if they are open by dec 27-28.

I have gathered that CFO Desk in NAIA opens from 5 am till midnight. Regarding the question if they are open on your flight date, I am not sure. Their website doesn't publish closure announcements for the Christmas Holidays yet, so it might be worth keeping an eye on. But, I suppose if 27th or 28th isn't declared as public holiday, their office might be open.
