The RERB is composed of Deputy Consul General and Acting Head of Post Raquel Solano as RERB Chairperson, and Vice Consul Adrian Baccay and Ms. Genevieve Ferrer as RERB Members.
The Consulate, along with other Philippine embassies and consulates worldwide, will continue registering overseas voters until 30 September 2024.
