07 November 2014 - To better serve Filipino workers and residents in Hong Kong, the Philippine Consulate General brought for the first time a whole team of consular personnel to Lamma Island to conduct its first-ever consular outreach. The program was held on October 26 at the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Kindergarten and served as a mobile one-stop processing shop.
