21 October 2013 – Over 300 passports were processed and a dozen other consular services were delivered to the Filipino community in the South of France when a consular team from the Philippine Embassy in Paris went to Nice from October 12 to 13 to serve the growing Filipino community there.

Working from the Church of Saint Martin and Saint Augustin, the consular team headed by Third Secretary and Vice Consul Rapunzel Acop was assisted by the office of the Philippine Honorary Consul General in Monaco, Dr. Stephane Zuellig, and Honorary Consul in Monaco Patsy Zobel de Ayala, as well as Mr. Danny Cabellon and other Filipino community leaders in Nice.

After Paris, Nice has the highest concentration of Filipino migrants in France mostly working in the household service industry and yachts.

After Nice, the consular team will proceed to Monte Carlo from November 16 to 17 to serve the Filipino Community there. END
