Filipinos abroad urged to register in consulate offices
April 11, 2011
THE Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Sunday has reminded Filipino nationals abroad to register with their respective Philippine embassies and consulates general to guide authorities of their whereabouts during crisis.
The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh has launched an online registration system for all Filipinos in Saudi Arabia.
βThe Embassy encourages all Filipinos to register with the Embassy, and assures that the information on the database shall not be shared with the public,β said the Embassy.
DFA spokesman Eduardo Malaya said it is important for Philippine authorities in different countries to have an accurate database of Filipinos living in their areas of jurisdiction to ensure speedy communication with them, especially during times of emergency.
DFA records show the Philippines has a total of 68 embassies and 23 consulates general around the world. There is also an estimated eight to 11 million Filipinos living and working abroad.
During the past few months, Filipinos abroad have been affected either by natural disasters or by political turmoil, such as in Egypt, Libya, Japan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and China. (AMN/Sunnex)
