Philippine passports that were processed during the Philippine Consulate General\u2019s mobile outreach on Saipan last May are now on island and will be distributed soon.<\/p>\n
According to Honorary Consul to the Philippines Glicerio \u201cEli\u201d Arago, he received 500 passports.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe passports I received already and it\u2019s ready for distribution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Arago said they are finalizing where and when they will start distributing the passports but they will do it soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am thinking maybe in the afternoon, in one place. I\u2019ll find a volunteer to distribute them as soon as possible,\u201d Arago said.<\/p>\n
Unlike in the past when the passports are distributed at the same time as the mobile consular outreach, this time it will be distributed earlier than the upcoming outreach scheduled on Aug. 13 to 16.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore they arrive, hopefully we have distributed all the [passports] already,\u201d Arago said.<\/p>\n
Aside from Saipan, the Philippine Consulate in Guam will also hold an outreach on Tinian.<\/p>\n
For Saipan, the mobile outreach will be on Aug. 13 to 15 at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center and for Tinian, it will be held on Aug. 16 at the Tinian Dynasty Hotel and Casino.<\/p>\n
Pre-registered applicants for renewal of passports, registration for overseas voting, and those who want to avail of the civil registry and notarial services will be accommodated.<\/p>\n
According to Arago, there is still no scheduled consular outreach for Rota.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will talk to Consul Gary [Auxilian] about that,\u201d Arago said, adding that he will ask the consulate in Guam if they can do a special outreach solely for Rota.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to promise but I\u2019ll try my best to convince him. If they are concerned about the logistics, let\u2019s see how we can help,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
