Unfortunately I am pretty sure you can't leave the country without it, so you will need to attend.
From another thread where people had the same issue:
I have an update: Earlier this week i got a Passport request email after getting a few of those pre arrival emails. So hopefully it will happen to everyone here too soon!!!

Again, not totally sure, but my understanding is you need to bring your stamped passport to the seminar, so I think you need to wait for the PPR. You can also try asking on the Manila thread.
