SAN FRANCISCO 11 November 2020 -- The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco has linked-up with The Filipino Channel to reach more Filipino Americans through the "Tanong ni ConGen Bensurto" program. For its pilot episode launched on 16 October 2020, the program discussed the latest travel advisory, specifically on who can enter the Philippines amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“At this time of the pandemic, the “Tanong ni ConGen” program is our way of reaching out to our kababayans and we thank TFC for helping us reach more Filipinos in the U.S.,” said Philippine Consul General Henry S. Bensurto, Jr.
A brainchild of Consul General Bensurto, the "Tanong ni ConGen" program seeks to answer frequently asked questions of the community.
