CITIZEN PINOY GOES TO MANILA

CITIZEN PINOY IN MANILA --- Leading immigration attorney MICHAEL J. GURFINKEL and Daly City, California Vice Mayor Atty. Mike Guingona outside the ABS-CBN Broadcast Center compound in Quezon City, with the long line of “KAPAMILYAS” , who came all the way from various provinces across the Philippines (Ilocos Sur, Bicol, Batangas, etc) to have their immigration concerns addressed.

The long line outside ABS-CBN's studios in Quezon City confirmed the overwhelming demand for reliable information in connection with U.S. immigration matters, as Citizen Pinoy traveled to Manila. The huge crowd validated ABS-CBN's hunch that there was already an urgent need for Pinoys to be properly informed about U.S. immigration issues.

Taping for the show started at 10 :00 a.m. but as early as 5:30 in the morning, hundreds and hundreds of Pinoys from all walks of life and barangays   started to line up outside the ABS-CBN gates.  One would think that it was another popular game show being taped, judging from the long line and enthusiasm of the people.  

The audience came all the way from Pangasinan, Bicol, Mindoro, Ilocos Sur, Laguna, Olongapo, Batangas.    Some took the bus and others drove and traveled several hours for their once-in-a-lifetime chance of getting up close and personal with Atty. Gurfinkel and the other hosts of CITIZEN PINOY - TV personality Gel Santos-Relos and Daly City, California Vice Mayor Atty. Mike Guingona. 

The people's overwhelming reception to CITIZEN PINOY demonstrated show's success and their high regard for its legal expert, Atty. Michael J. Gurfinkel, who has been straightforward with his problem-solving analysis, case evaluations, and legal advice.  Citizen Pinoy's host Atty. Gurfinkel said "there are no short cuts   to U.S. immigration, and the right way to immigrate is the legal way. So, the people should always have the correct immigration information". 

Viewers' feedback and suggestions sent to questions@citizenpinoy.com revealed that their favorite portion of the show is Q & A, where they learn so much from viewer's mail.  The Manila audience was able to ask their questions directly to Atty. Gurfinkel, (which are the same questions as many of the TV viewers), so the in-studio audience and TV viewers are able to gain answers and information relating to their own cases. Don't miss out this opportunity to learn the answers to your case, from the questions of other Pinoys in your same situation.

CITIZEN PINOY airs on TFC every Sunday at 5 p.m. , with replays every Monday at 4 a.m. , and on ANC-USA every Friday at 8 p.m. (all Pacific Standard Time) .    In the Philippines, the show airs every Saturday at 11 a.m. on ANC (ABS-CBN News Channel).
