WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a meaningful celebration of National Women’s Month, 35 women reacquired their Philippine citizenship and became dual citizens during a Special Saturday Consular Service for women held on 15 March 2025 by the Philippine Embassy.
This one-day event was dedicated to providing essential consular services to women outside regular working hours, ensuring greater accessibility and convenience for those with busy schedules.
The special consular day featured a range of services, including passport renewal and civil registry. The highlight of the day was the oath-taking ceremony, where 35 women proudly took their oath, marking a significant milestone in their lives.
“The Philippine Embassy is committed to making our services more accessible to women and recognizing their invaluable contributions to society,” said Ambassador Jose Manuel G. Romualdez. “By dedicating this special consular service to women, we hope to support their needs and celebrate their achievements.”
During the event, the team processed 35 dual citizenship petitions, 22 passport applications, 19 notarized documents, and 2 civil registration reports. Attendees also benefited from a briefing on the benefits of Philippine citizenship, as well as information on other services provided by the Embassy.
This initiative is part of the Consular Section’s broader commitment to gender inclusivity and empowerment, in line with the 2025 National Women’s Month theme: “Babae sa Lahat ng Sektor, Aangat ang Bukas sa Bagong Pilipinas.”
