The CFO further reiterates that, in addition to attending the workshop, Filipino spouses of Korean nationals are also required to attend CFO’s regular Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP). Attendance to the GCP must precede participation in the cultural orientation workshop.

The GCP provides a venue for Filipino spouses to express and discuss their particular concerns and various areas of their relationships, including communication barrier, financial management, personality and cultural differences, and other realities of intermarriage and settlement overseas.  To learn more about the CFO’s guidance and  counseling program, please visit the CFO website at: https://cfo.e.gov.ph/cfo-hybrid-frontline-services-for-gcp.  Upon completion of the program, Filipino spouses will receive the CFO Digital Certificate.
