Two new mall-based passport offices will open in Ilocos Norte and Isabela, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announced on Labor Day. The DFA said its new consular office at Robinsons Place in San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte will open on May 8 and another one will open at Robinsons Place in Santiago, Isabela on May 15. The department clarified that Robinsons Mall is hosting DFA consular offices for free. “The new locations promise more convenient and comfortable passport application, especially for clients within the area and the nearby provinces who will now experience the improvements that we are making in the passport application system,” Cayetano said. He added that the DFA is expecting to open more consular offices across the country.
