09 January 2014 – A team from the Philippine Embassy in Berlin, composed of Ms. Generosa Balocating, Mrs. Melinda Hernais, Mr. Ruben Atienza, Ms. Lia Sale and Mr. Mel Francisco, conducted a one-day mobile consular outreach program in Bonn on 21 December 2013. 

This has been the first consular outreach program since the Bonn extension office closed in November 2008. It was held at Philair International Travel Agency conveniently located in the city center.  

The consular team facilitated a total of 65 e-Passport applications and 23 other services that included filing of civil registry forms and notarials. In addition to these consular services, the team also provided basic consultation services to overseas Filipinos staying at the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.   

Philair owner and Managing Director Elda Falcon and staff Jacqueline Espiritu were on hand to give full support to the outreach program.  Refreshments and other services, such as the provision of stamps and photocopying services were also made available to the applicants.

The mobile outreach is part of the Embassy’s efforts to bring its consular services closer to Filipinos residing in different parts of Germany.  END
