PINOLE, CALIFORNIA, USA – The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco conducted a consular outreach at Saint Joseph Church in Pinole, California on 27 July 2024. This is the ninth outreach mission spearheaded by the Consulate for the year.
Led by Vice Consuls Adrian Baccay and Hannah Go, the consular outreach in the Bay Area’s East Bay afforded Filipinos and Filipino Americans passport, dual citizenship, and overseas voting registration services without having to travel to San Francisco.
A total of 188 services were provided–including 50 passport applications, 59 dual citizenship petitions, and 72 overseas voting registrations.
During the outreach, Assistant District Director Lilita Hom of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (DOL-WHD) Office in San Jose, California also participated in the outreach, and provided information on DOL-WHD’s services that aim to promote compliance with U.S. federal labor standards and protect workers’ rights. The DOL-WHD also set up an information desk for consular outreach clients.
The outreach was held through the support of Reverend Father Geoffrey Baraan, the FIlipino American rector of Saint Joseph Parish.
