There is another venue for Filipinos within Metro Manila area that needs to take care of their passport requirements. The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) recently opened another mall-based consular office, this time at Robinsons Galleria in Quezon City. This is the sixth consular office of the DFA that is mall-based. 

The consular office in Robinsons Galleria is called the DFA’s Central National Capital Region Office or DFA NCR-Central. This development is a result of an agreement between DFA’s Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and Robinsons Land Corporation.

The formal inauguration of the new consular office was led by Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Rafael Seguis together with Quezon City Administrator Victor Endriga, representing Mayor Herbert Bautista, and Robinsons Land President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Frederick Go.

The launching was also attended by officials of DFA, Quezon City Government and Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA).
