PCG's new office in Al Ghusais
DUBAI -Effective September 1, Filipinos residing in Dubai and the Northern Emirates can transact all their consular affairs at the Philippine Consulate-General's (PCG) new office in Al Ghusais.
Philippine Consul-General Antonio S. Curameng said the decision to move to a new location was prompted by many reasons. "First was security concerns. The current PCG office in Hamriya is in a residential area that has a narrow road. In an emergency or a fire incident, we would only safe exit," he said.
The consul-general added that the villa where the PCG is currently housed has also been experiencing a number of technical problems lately, with the power supply being interrupted too often due to old electrical wirings. "With the volume of workload that we have to attend to, we cannot afford to have our work disrupted by such problems," Curameng said.
