Filipinos from the different cities in Sweden and even some from Finland availed of the consular services provided by the consular team, which was composed of Attaché Marcelo M. Cunanan, Manuel S. Moran, Jr. and Attaché Theresa R. Bantolo-Heikkilä. The consular team processed around 100 e-Passport applications, civil registrations, and documents for notarization and authentication, as well as entertained queries regarding visa, dual citizenship and the balikbayan program.
