22 March 2022 (Chicago) – The Philippine Consulate General in Chicago, in collaboration with the Filipino-American Association of Greater Wichita (FAAGW), held a consular
outreach mission for passport, dual citizenship and notarial services at the Hampton Inn
& Suites Wichita Airport in Wichita, Kansas on Saturday, 19 March 2022.
The outreach team, headed by Consul General J. Susana V. Paez, provided a total of
301 consular services to Filipinos and Filipino-Americans residing in Kansas and other
states, including those from as far away as Pennsylvania.
The event was the first outreach mission of the Consulate for the year, and the first
outreach conducted in Kansas since 2019. The other team members were Consul Ryan
Gener, Ms. Leila Imperial, , Ms. Janice Kathlene Lobien, Mr. Emmanuel Jacob Milante,
Mr. Ragan Maning, Mr. Joseph Alcantara, and Ms. Maria Victoria Rivera.
FAAGW’s officers and volunteers, headed by Ms. Rose Axman, supported the outreach
team by providing promotional, logistical and pre-processing assistance. Filipinos, some
of whom came from states outside the Consulate’s area of jurisdiction, availed of services
during the outreach, particularly those who could not travel to Chicago because of the
pandemic or due to work or family obligations, expressed appreciation for the Consulate
team’s visit.
