    If we accept that the whole CFO process is to assist and protect Filipinos, then why, when the foreign spouse is in Phil are they are kept waiting outside? Surely, if the interviewer could meet the spouse they could be even more sure that the Filipino is not being exploited. However, I suspect that that would lead to the foreigners questioning why they or the partners should be obliged to answer questions which would probably be prohibited in many countries, including UK, under the various Data Protection Laws.

    I am all for the highest level of protection being available for citizens but I strongly object to any form of coercion. Thus the attendance should be voluntary.

    If the service was accepted as being useful and important the up-take would be high.

    I suspect that at present almost no one would attend if given the choice.

    Hummm ok. you know the data protection act is there to protect the criminals thats why the eu and the uk gov. love it so much as it protects their sleazy friends in the banks. if you dont like the cfo don't use them and don't leave the country,easy your problem solved,
    The cfo cost 400php and I also gained good information from them, they also checked the paperwork to make sure that everything was in order for my benefit aswell, while the CNI cost 4500php and took them 5 secs to copy the uk one which cost £30 now thats a rip off they did no checks all the they do is copy the information and put a stamp on it and post it...as the question they ask are intrusive "have you been married before?" is surely against the data protection act and against your human rights, so that should be voluntary, now i am guessing that if people had a choice then they also wouldnt attend that ?
    On the governments idea of citizen protection I am fairly happy that foreigners can not just pile in to our country and buy what ever property or business they want after all what government would allow that ? ? ? ?

    By doing this they discourage tourism and inward investment in the Philippines which is to the detriment of the Filipino people and the politicians there don't support these laws for the benefit of the average Filipino, but for vested interests and their own benefit because all of the politicians in Phils belong (directly or indirectly) to one another of the 2 or 3 very powerful dynastic families who control everything in the Philippines.
