CITIZEN PINOY Features Audience Questions On This Week's Episode

U.S. VISA DENIALS Citizen Pinoy brought its show to Manila, by catering directly to issues and questions from a live audience. Hundreds (shown in photo) lined up to get inside the ABS-CBN studios and participate in CP's open forum , where their U.S. immigration questions were answered (on the spot) by Atty. Michael J. Gurfinkel.

True to its goal of providing reliable information about U.S. immigration, Citizen Pinoy opened its doors to a live audience, where their immigration questions were directly answered by immigration attorney, Michael J. Gurfinkel.

Based on the thousands of e-mails, letters, and calls the producers received, the show's efforts to reach out to as many audience as possible, was a huge success.   The public's response, especially from the Filipino community, has been so overwhelming that Citizen Pinoy decided to devote its next episode entirely to questions and answers, and accommodate as many questions from the audience as possible, many of whom may have the same questions as you.

Citizen Pinoy's public forum format spread like wildfire in the Philippines.   Hundreds traveled from the various regions like   Mindanao, Visayas, Bicol, Ilocos, and other far flung provinces.   The ABS-CBN studio grounds were filled with people who lined up as early as 5:30 in the morning, each one hoping that they could be accommodated in the studios and thus, be able to air their particular concerns.   When the gates were opened, the studio was filled to its maximum.   Unfortunately, many had to be turned down.   Again, this proves that so many wanted to take that rare opportunity of getting "live" answers from whom they consider as "Attorney of Last Hope", Michael J. Gurfinkel.

For those who failed to get in the studios, and those who still have questions to ask, don't miss this unique one on one with Atty. Gurfinkel, with his live audience.   We are sure most of you could see your situations with those already addressed.   Be sure to get the latest information about U.S. immigration developments, and be properly guided on your particular concerns.   There is always a solution to a given problem - - for after all, wasn't Regine initially banned for life?   

If not for time constraints, Citizen Pinoy's Question and Answer forum would have continued the whole day, with all members of the audience wanting more and more information.   " This continuing need and demand for information must be served again", TFC and Channel 2 people observed.   " We will definitely have another episode like this in the Philippines.   We owe it to our audience and to the Filipinos at large".
