Honolulu, 21 April 2009 – The Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu successfully conducted a three (3) day consular outreach program in Pago Pago, American Samoa from17-19 April 2009.

The consular outreach program in Pago Pago was coordinated with the Filipino community of American Samoa who also provided volunteers for the event.

A total of 368 consular services were rendered during the outreach. Following is the breakdown on the consular services:

Consular Service	Total
Renewal of Passport	313
Replacement of Lost Passport	11
Visa	1
Report of Birth	14
Report of Marriage	3
Certification	1
Notarials	25
Total Consular Services Rendered	368

The consular outreach team was led by Consul Paul Raymund Cortes and composed of Maria Victoria T. Siasoco, Teresita K . Canilao, and Virgilio A. Pacio. The outreach was the first in three (3) years and first following the introduction of the Machine Readable Passport (MRP) in June 2008.

Pago Pago, some 2600 miles southeast of Honolulu and about six (6) hours from Hawaii by plane, is home to roughly 2500-3000 Filipinos. The Consulate's outreach program was undertaken to bring its consular services closer to the Filipino community in American Samoa, particularly as many of these Filipinos do not have a visa to enter the United States.
