ANCHORAGE, ALASKA – Following its consular outreach in Juneau in May, the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco, in coordination with the Office of Philippine Honorary Consul to Alaska Rebecca Carrillo, conducted anew a consular outreach in the state’s largest city of Anchorage, providing 966 consular services to Filipinos and Filipino Americans from September 2 – 5.
In a statement, Philippine Consul General in San Francisco Neil Ferrer said that the second consular outreach in Alaska this year is “part of our continuing mandate to provide timely consular services to kababayans in the 10 US states under the Consulate’s jurisdiction, as far as America’s ‘Last Frontier’.”
“I extend my deepest gratitude to Philippine Honorary Consul to Alaska Rebecca Carrillo, Chief of Staff Randall Ruaro of the Office of Alaska Governor Michael Dunleavy, the University of Alaska Anchorage under the leadership of Chancellor Sean Parnell, and the volunteers and sponsors from the Filipino American Communities in Anchorage and Kodiak for their contributions in making the consular outreach in Anchorage a success,” Ferrer said.
A 10-person team traveled by air from San Francisco to render mainly passport and dual citizenship services to Filipinos in the state.
The Consulate rendered a total of 966 consular services to Filipinos in Alaska, including 664 passport applications and renewals, 294 dual citizenship applications, six acknowledgments and certifications, and two civil registrations. The first day of the consular outreach served mainly applicants from the island of Kodiak, which is 410 miles away from Anchorage.
The Consulate will conduct its next consular outreach in Washington State, tentatively on October 7 – 11. The indicative schedule of the remaining consular outreaches for 2022 is available on the Consulate’s official website: https://pcgsanfrancisco.org/consular-outreach-missions/.
