28 October 2020, New York \u2013<\/strong> Newly-arrived Philippine Consul General in New York Petronila P. Garcia hosted virtual meetings with Fil-Am community leaders and media practitioners last 28 October 2020 in New York.\u00a0<\/p>

Consul General Garcia first had a productive discussion with 16 members of the Fil-Am Press Club of New York headed by its president Don Tagala of The Filipino Channel during her inaugural ConGen Media Hour. The Consul General outlined the priorities and programs of the Consulate for the rest of the year, with emphasis on further enhancing services for Filipinos in the 10 States under the jurisdiction of the Consulate in New York to better cope with the challenges of the pandemic.<\/p>

\u201cLet me emphasize that the Consulate is dedicated to deliver services to the public, but that we also must ensure that our clients, and our staff, do so in a manner that minimizes exposure and avoids unnecessary risks. We are not out of the woods, and as we very well know, the United States is experiencing its second wave of infections, seeing numbers that are very close to those we experience at the height of the first wave of the pandemic. Thus, we ask for your understanding and cooperation,\u201d Consul General Garcia said.<\/p>

The media asked Consul General Garcia to share her most memorable and challenging experiences in her 40 years in the foreign service.\u00a0 Prior to her post in New York, she was the Philippine Ambassador to Canada, Israel, and Egypt with concurrent jurisdiction over Sudan.<\/p>

The media participants extended a warm welcome to the Consul General and assured her of their help in disseminating important information to the Fil-Am community.<\/p>

The ConGen Media Hour was followed by a Kapihan Sa Konsulado with 66 community leaders representing different organizations.<\/p>

Consul General Garcia presented the different community and cultural projects of the Consulate like the Education Forum series for high school students and their parents, Parol-Making Workshop, Memorial Service for Fil-Am frontliners and community members who succumbed to Covid, and the annual Simbang Gabi sa Konsulado.\u00a0<\/p>

The attendees expressed their keen interest to participate in the different projects of the Consulate.\u00a0 Some leaders proposed additional activities like youth engagement and mental health discussions which were encouraged and supported by Consul General Garcia.\u00a0<\/p>

Dr. Aida Rivera, President of Philippine Folk Arts Society and Philippine Medical Society of Greater Philadelphia, welcomed the Consul General on behalf of the Fil-Am community.\u00a0 She assured her of the support and cooperation of the community and thanked Consul General Garcia for her many years of service in the government and for the work that she will do as Consul General in New York. \u00a0END<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
