As such, the Consulate strongly encourages those who visited the Philippine Center yesterday, Monday, 25 April 2022, and today, Tuesday, 26 April 2022, to observe themselves for symptoms or get themselves tested when they can.

The Consulate assures kababayan with scheduled appointments that unless otherwise advised it will be “business-as-usual” at the Consular Section. Kababayan with scheduled appointments are advised to observe the indoor mask policy and other COVID-19 protocols.

The Consulate also assures kababayan that overseas absentee voting processes will not be affected and will proceed as scheduled.
