DFA CONDUCTS MOBILE PASSPORT SERVICES IN LABO, CAMARINES NORTE

Still vigorously bringing the services of the DFA and its partner agencies closer to the people, the DFA’s Regional Consular Office in Legazpi City, Albay (DFA-RCO Legazpi) conducted a mobile passport service in Labo, Camarines Norte on 04-05 September 2004 that coincided with the municipality's celebration of the local Busig-On Festival.

Along with its partner agencies, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration and the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, the DFA-RCO Legazpi also launched the "Sarong Bungkaras," a project delivering a package of services that included a presentation of government programs for OFWs and a discussion on illegal recruitment, alongside passport processing and issuance.

During the two-day mobile passport service, RCO Legazpi was able to issue 381 passports that were processed during the same weekend while attending to the concerns of the next-of-kin of OFWs. More than 500 townsfolk benefited from the different activities lined up, some coming from towns neighboring Labo. The Municipal Mayor of Labo Honorable Winifredo B. Oco expressed his appreciation for the team for bringing valuable government services to their area.
