07 April 2014 – The Philippine Embassy in Athens sent a five-member Embassy team to Nicosia, Cyprus from March 28 to 30 in order to meet the Filipino community and render consular mobile services. The team was able to process 656 passport application forms, 18 civil registrations, 31 affidavits and 680 Pag-IBIG transactions.
