The Philippine Consulate General in New York has come across social media posts on 3 December 2024 falsely advertising a fundraising event to be held during the Simbang Gabi sa Konsulado, scheduled for 5-13 December 2024. These posts claim that the event aims to raise funds for the political campaign of a New York-based candidate. The Consulate categorically denies any association with such an event and emphasizes that no such activity has been approved by its leadership nor will it be allowed to take place within the Consulate\u2019s premises.<\/span><\/p>

As a foreign mission, the Consulate is bound by international law, including the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (VCDR) and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (VCCR), to maintain strict neutrality and refrain from interference in the internal affairs of the host state. <\/span>Any attempt to utilize the Philippine Consulate General in New York, located at the Philippine Center in New York, 556 5<\/b>th<\/b> Ave., New York, NY 10036, for campaigns or solicitation activities by candidates running for public office constitute a blatant violation of these principles.<\/b><\/span><\/p>

The Consulate also condemns the spread of misleading information and the use of inflammatory language targeting the institution and its personnel purportedly because the candidate was not allowed to distribute clothes for children within the Consulate\u2019s premises. Such activities again violate the principles of the Vienna Conventions and will never be tolerated. Such actions undermine the values of respect and professionalism that the Consulate upholds in serving the Filipino community under its jurisdiction.<\/span><\/p>

To safeguard the integrity of its premises and events, individuals attempting to misrepresent the Consulate\u2019s actions or use its facilities for unauthorized purposes will not be allowed to participate in its activities. Neither will the Consulate allow itself to be used as a tool of parvenus with ulterior motives.<\/b><\/span><\/p>

\u200b\u200bThe Philippine Consulate General in New York remains steadfast in its mission to serve the Filipino community in the U.S. Northeast with professionalism, impartiality, and respect for its diplomatic mandate. <\/span>END<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
