CHICAGO 23 April 2024 – The Philippine Consulate General in Chicago conducted a consular outreach mission and a field Overseas Voting (OV) Registration on 20 April 2024 at the Philippine Center Minnesota, 1380 Frost Ave., Maplewood, Minnesota 55109 (some 400 miles away from the Consulate General), which provided more than 400 services.
Led by Consul General J. Susana V. Paez, the Consulate General’s team rendered a total of 303 passport, dual-citizenship and other services to consular clients residing in Minnesota and other nearby states during the one-day event. In addition, the team also processed 165 OV Registration applications.
The event was conducted in partnership with the Fil-Minnesotan Association (FMA), headed by its president Mr. Eric Lleva, which assisted the outreach team through promotional and logistical support. Applicants who availed of the consular and OV services during the event expressed their appreciation to the team, since this meant that they no longer have to drive for more than six (06) hours to the Consulate General in Chicago.
