The Consulate’s booth featured Philippine products as well as promotion of Philippine tourist destinations.  Information about dual citizenship was also provided by Consulate officials.  Filipino-Americans who visited the booth appreciated the informational materials and brochures provided on Philippine tourist destinations and dual citizenship which they can share with their family and friends.
