hi paperdolls,
We're on the same boat :). i think this one from CIIP is only voluntary and can be taken as early as you receive your medical request. its different with the PDOS from the Commission on Filipino Overseas which is mandatory to all imigrants and can only by taken after you receive your visa.

You may want to use this: http://www.ph-commute.com/
If I recall properly... :) unless they have changed the bus stops

1. Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC)
7th Floor, Port Royal Place
118 Rada Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City,
Tel: +63-2-892-5200

> Take Ayala bus from Cubao - bus stop will be at the Old Insular Life building after Paseo de Roxas - you have to cross Ayala (use underpass) to the other side and follow Rufino St. - then left at Dela Rosa St. (the intersection has pedestrian walkway/overpass as your reference and look up you will see Chowking) , and then right at Rada St. (2nd street from Chowking) -Look for Port Royal Place to your left as you walk along Rada.

2. CIIP
24th Floor of the Citibank Tower Bldg. at 8741 Paseo de Roxas, Makati City

2 ways
> Take Ayala bus from Cubao - bus stop after Buendia (MRT station), then take a Buendia-LRT jeep to stop at DTI or just after the intersection of Paseo and Buendia. You have to cross Buendia and walk to the Citibank Tower. The best entrance to this will be the Valero street entrance as this immediately takes you to the elevators to those floors.

> Take Ayala bus from Cubao - bus stop will be at the Old Insular Life after Paseo de Roxas - then you walk along Paseo towards the direction of Buendia, turn left into Villar and you will see Citibank - longer walk. Bring ID - visitors are asked to login at the front desk.


3. CFO Manila

Citigold Center, 1345 Pres. Quirino Avenue
corner Osmeña Highway (South Superhighway)
Manila, Philippines 1007
Tel. No.: (02) 552-4700

> Not too familiar - best way seems to be LRT Quirino and then walk from there. Read this link http://directionsonweb.blogspot.ca/2012/10/LRT-Quirino-Destinations.html - there are directions from LRT Quirino to CFO. You can take Ayala/Buendia bus from Cubao and transfer at Taft Avenue to either take LRT to Quirino Station or ride a jeep and stop at Quirino station. Then walk from there.

Wait for other feedback from those who already attended - perhaps the info may be updated... :)

RAK,

CIIP and ACCC offices magkapareho lang
this address:
7th Floor, Port Royal Place
118 Rada Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City,
Tel: +63-2-892-5200

tama yung directions ni ragluf by bus, but Rada Street is now Thailand Street.
Kami naman tinignan ko sa google maps.. my basis is greenbelt 1.
Shuttle service (van) kami so we got off in front of AIM/Greenbelt 1/Paseo de roxas then walked towards legaspi village on legaspi street.
so kung medyo familiar ka sa greenbelt 1 pwede mo gawin basehan yon. sobrang lapit lang. madaling lakarin :)

Yung IOM office where COA seminar is held is this
24th Floor of the Citibank Tower Bldg. at 8741 Paseo de Roxas, Makati City
i think.. pa correct na lang kung mali po..
di pa kami nakakapunta dito pero looking at google maps.. ok din ang bus route na sinabi ni ragluf. pero kami malamang malalakad na lang uli :) malapit lang pala ito sa ayala triangle gardens :)
