PH consulate in SF visits Spokane Valley, Washington for first-ever consular outreach in the inland northwest

SPOKANE VALLEY, WA – The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco held its second consular outreach for the year at Mirabeau Park Hotel in Spokane Valley, Washington on March 26-28, 2023.

Passport, dual citizenship, and overseas voting (OV) registration services were offered during the Consulate’s first-ever consular outreach held in the Inland Northwest Region, which covers Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho.

The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco provided passport, dual citizenship, and overseas voting registration services during the consular outreach held at Mirabeau Park Hotel in Spokane Valley, Washington on March 26-28.

Philippine Consul General in San Francisco Neil Ferrer said that the consular outreach in Spokane Valley is “in line with the Consulate’s continuing commitment to provide timely consular services to fellow Filipinos in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.”

A nine-person team traveled by land from San Francisco to Spokane Valley — providing a total of 790 consular services to Filipinos in Washington State, as well as the neighboring states of Idaho, Montana and Oregon.

The Consulate partnered with the Filipino American Northwest Association (FANA) and the Filipino American Association of the Inland Empire (FAAIE), for the conduct of the three-day consular outreach.
