In her brief remarks, Philippine Consul General in Chongqing Olivia V. Palala expressed the hope that the new Consulate General premises will be more comfortable and convenient for the Consulate General’s clients. Consul General Palala also took the opportunity to thank each and everyone’s support and cooperation during her more than three years’ stay in Chongqing, and announced that the new Consul General is expected to arrive immediately a week after she leaves on April 14.
She added that the previous Consulate General building was becoming too small and inadequate for the needs of the Consulate General, and that’s why she initiated the search for a bigger space for the Consulate General.
The members of the Filipino community expressed their appreciation for the efforts of Consul General Palala in finding a more spacious, presentable and accessible location to serve the needs of the public. END
