DUBAI 09 October 2020 – Philippine Consul General in Dubai Paul Raymund Cortes unveiled the new modular service counters of the Consulate General on 30 September 2020. The new public service counters provide comfortable transaction areas for the Consulate General’s clients and appropriate workspace for its frontline personnel. These were also designed to provide an extra layer of protection against COVID-19 infection for clients and the Consulate General’s personnel.
“While the Consulate strives to creatively accommodate the demand for consular services by our kabayan here in Dubai and the Northern Emirates during this time of pandemic, we also aim to provide them comfort and safety while they are inside the Consulate premises. We would like to welcome them to an improved Consulate,” said Consul General Cortes.
