To better serve OFWs and Filipino residents in Hong Kong, the Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong SAR brought for the first time a whole team of consular personnel to Lamma Island to conduct its first-ever consular outreach.  The program was held at the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Kindergarten on 26 October 2014 and served as a mobile one-stop processing shop.  

 

The pilot program offered the following services to the Filipino Community in Lamma Island:

  • Passport Processing and Passport Appointments;
  • Assistance-to-Nationals;
  • Overseas Voting Registration (OVR);
  • Civil Registry;
  • Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) Issuance and Labour Consultations;
  • OWWA Contract Processing and Membership;
  • Psycho-Social Counselling;
  • Pag-IBIG Membership and Programs; and
  • Social Security System (SSS) Membership and Programs.

 

The Filipino Community in Lamma Island, led by Ms. Catherine Marsden, co-organized, hosted and served as the conduit of the project.

 

The Consulate intends to organize more consular outreach initiatives especially in outlying areas in Hong Kong SAR.
