SAN FRANCISCO – Philippine Consul General in San Francisco Neil Ferrer paid a courtesy call on San Francisco’s new Chief of Protocol Maryam Muduroglu at the San Francisco City Hall last January 26.
Consul General Ferrer extended his congratulations to Muduroglu on her appointment as the city’s new Chief of Protocol. He also thanked the support of the City Mayor’s Office of Protocol to the Consulate through the years.
Muduroglu conveyed that her office is ready to welcome visiting Philippine officials to the city, and to assist the Consulate in making their visits meaningful.
Both officials discussed forthcoming activities, including the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders Meeting that will be held in San Francisco in November, possible visits of Philippine senior officials to San Francisco this year, and cultural programs and events, including the sister-city relations between Manila and San Francisco.
Muduroglu was appointed by San Francisco Mayor London Breed in November 2022, succeeding the city’s longtime Chief of Protocol Charlotte Mailliard Shultz. She is a native San Franciscan and an active member of the community. She has served on the board of several notable San Francisco organizations.
