NEW YORK 10 May 2019 — The Philippine Consulate General in New York provided consular services to hundreds of overseas Filipinos and Filipino-Americans in the New England states during  its outreach mission held in Needham, Massachusetts on 04-05 May 2019.

The outreach team led by Consul Arman R. Talbo rendered 317 services, including 149 passport applications, 68 legal documents, and 72 applications for dual citizenship. The team also accepted and processed 28 reports of birth of Fil-Am children.

The outreach was held in partnership with community leader Mr. Rudy Hermosa, the Philippine Nurses Association (PNA) in New England, and with the support of other Filipino-American groups and associations in the area like Philippine American Mainstream Advocacy for Nonpartisan Associations, Inc. (PAMANA).

Some members of the community expressed their appreciation for the outreach program because they no longer needed to travel for five to six hours to New York to renew their passports and secure necessary documents. END
