The Philippine Embassy’s six-member consular team, led by Consul General to Seoul Christian L. De Jesus, extended 363 consular services including passport applications, civil registration, NBI clearances, and notarization. Philippine Overseas Labor Office/Overseas Workers Welfare Administration and Pag-IBIG representatives accompanied the team to provide assistance and information on their respective services.
