The Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C. has received reports of messages and accounts falsely claiming to be Ambassador Jose Manuel G. Romualdez. These messages may attempt to solicit personal information, money, favors, or “official” engagements.
To protect yourself and your organization:
Do not engage, click links, or send money to anyone claiming to be the Ambassador or Embassy officials from unofficial accounts.
Verify first by contacting the Embassy only through our official channels listed below.
Check authenticity: Official announcements and invitations are issued on Embassy letterhead or through verified Embassy platforms and email domains.
Look for red flags: unusual requests, urgency/pressure, grammar or style inconsistent with official communications, non-official email domains, or personal messaging apps for “official” matters.
