CFO PDOS Schedule

When I read messages from my Inbox, especially from those who are about to leave the Philippines to settle in another country, they would say “PDOS na lamang po ako / kami”. What exactly is PDOS? This is Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar Schedule for Filipino Emigrants and it is on a “first come, first serve basis”.

Since July 16, 2012, the following is the PDOS schedule in Commission of Overseas Filipinos (CFO) Manila for Filipino emigrants.
