Arthur, when you get in touch and suggest they have an office in Davao, maybe you could also point out that 'immigration' relates to people newly entering a country 'emigration' relates to people leaving to to live in another country. Thus they need Emigration offices not immigration ones!

You might also point out that the seminars are supposed to be to assist emigrants and oversea workers and advise them of their rights in other countries. Thus the process should not, as it seems to be in many cases, be difficult/abrasive for those attending and it should be voluntary.

Regards all

PS I just took the on-line UK citizen test. I did it twice, the first time I got 80% and passed the second time I failed with 66%. Good thing I live in Spain, will I have to surrender my UK passport !!!!!!!
