The CFO in Katipunan, The Good Shepherd Convent, did not have a booking system, maybe they have changed it, thus the first 12, I think it was, to arrive got on the seminar for that day. As some countries only had seminars only once a week, or even less, that could be a real problem.
PS I think it has changed, maybe as a result of my high level complaint in March 2006.
