TACOMA, WASHINGTON – The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco successfully conducted a consular outreach mission in Tacoma, Washington on 16-17 August 2025, delivering a total of 459 consular services to members of the Filipino community in the area.

Services rendered during the two-day outreach included passport renewals and processing of dual citizenship applications. The outreach aimed to bring essential consular services closer to Filipinos residing in southern Washington and neighboring areas, many of whom would otherwise need to travel long distances to the Consulate in San Francisco.

Consul Rowena Pangilinan-Daquipil led the outreach team and met with Washington State Senator Javier Valdez (46th Legislative District) and Tacoma Councilmember Chanjolee “Josh” Bushnell, who visited the outreach venue to show their support. The Consul expressed her gratitude to the local officials and community leaders for their continued partnership and support of the Filipino community in the region.

The outreach is part of the Consulate’s ongoing commitment to bring services closer to Filipino communities throughout its consular jurisdiction, especially in areas with large populations of Filipino nationals and Filipino Americans.

The Philippine Consulate General extends its sincere appreciation to all community members, leaders, and volunteers who contributed to the success of the outreach.
