DFA: All PH embassies, consulates to return to ‘normal’ operations from March 21

MANILA, Philippines, March 17 ------ All Philippine embassies and consulates worldwide will resume accepting walk-in transactions starting March 21, Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Brigido Dulay said Wednesday. In a tweet, Dulay said this means that Philippine embassies and consulates would return to pre-pandemic operations. “SFA @teddyboylocsin has ordered all our Embassies & consulates worldwide to return to normal (pre-pandemic) operations just like @DFAPHL Manila,” he wrote on Twitter. “We cannot discriminate against those slaving in PH HQ. WALK-IN transactions in all posts abroad shall RESUME on Monday, March 21st,” he added.
