Kampala, 1 May 2022 - The Philippine Embassy in Nairobi’s consular mission in Uganda on 1 May 2022 concludes the six-country series of outreach missions that the Embassy conducted during the 2022 overseas voting period for the Philippine national elections.  Countries where the Embassy also conducted outreach missions in the month of April were South Sudan, Seychelles, Rwanda, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In coordination with the Philippine Honorary Consulate in Kampala, the Embassy's team composed of Second Secretary and Consul Maria Rosanna O. Josue, and Attaché Celine D. Bejar, provided passport, notarial, and other consular services to Filipinos in Uganda.  

Mobile voting for the 2022 Presidential elections was also available to qualified registered Filipino overseas voters.

During the mission, the Embassy team also encouraged the Filipino community to register in its overseas Filipino mapping project and gave a talk on RA 11313 or the Safe Spaces Act. 

Uganda, nicknamed the Pearl of Africa, is host to nearly two hundred Overseas Filipinos, who are mostly professionals or skilled workers.
