YOu don't need to attend the pre-departure seminar again, all you have to do is show the certificate of attendance with your passport to the CFO for the stamped.

I called up DFA Manila yesterday. They said i need to attend the CFO. So i asked, "what about the thing u put in ur guidelines, u dont follow them?". She said, "Ok come and apply here in Manila and we might not require u to provide it." What kind of answer was that! If i'll drive for 6 hours just for a renewal of a passport, i'd better have a CFO seminar instead and renew my passport here in my hometown. My old passport expires in 2010 anyway. I just want to renew my passport for identification purposes. I still don't have an ID using my husband's name.
