The Philippine Consulate General\u2019s third mobile consular mission on Saipan this year was deemed a success by Consul Edgar Auxilian.<\/p>\n
According to Auxilian, 308 Filipinos registered as overseas voters, surpassing their target of 250.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve surpassed our target. We\u2019re happy, it helped that a lot were inquiring about the voter\u2019s ID,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
More than 3,000 voter\u2019s IDs were for releasing at the mission.<\/p>\n
More than 500 of the 600 scheduled applicants for passports came and had their biometrics and other information processed. Some even came all the way from Tinian and Rota.<\/p>\n
Of the 339 passports that were for releasing, only 19 were unclaimed and will be brought back to Guam.<\/p>\n
More than 20 passports have been approved for extension.<\/p>\n
Seventy-seven individuals availed of the special power of attorney, 10 filed reports of birth, while four marriages were recorded.<\/p>\n
There were also authentications, affidavits and certifications that were processed.<\/p>\n
Auxilian said they are looking at the third week of July for their fourth mission in the CNMI this year. They will probably conduct a three-day mission, unlike the five-day mission they just concluded. They are also looking at holding it on Rota and Tinian.<\/p>\n
\u201c[The location] is subject to consideration. We have to assess how many Filipinos need passport renewals on Tinian and Rota,\u201d Auxilian said.<\/p>\n
He also thanked the volunteers and the members of the United Filipino Organization for assisting them in the mission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
