23 March 2010. My fiance checked with Manilla CFO office and there is a 8-10 week backlog now so she flew to Cebu to do the seminar there as it is a first come first served basis. She was able to do the rather derisory and pointless seminar BUT be warned the issue of certificates is taking 2 weeks as the demand exceeds their ability to supply the certificates!

You can of course expedite this but the 25000 PHP quoted was excessive and so bad.
