Message from the Honorary Consul
It is a distinct honor to welcome you to the Honorary Consulate of Portugal in Manila.
Just as seamless connectivity transforms the travel experience, our mission here is to ensure the bridge between the Philippines and Portugal remains robust, efficient, and accessible. Whether you are a Portuguese national requiring assistance or a Filipino citizen exploring opportunities in Europe, understanding the necessary steps—from documentation to cultural nuances—is essential for a smooth journey.
I am excited to continue to engage with the vibrant communities of both nations. Our shared history forms a solid foundation, but it is our future collaboration in trade, tourism, and cultural exchange that truly inspires. We are committed to aligning with the vision of modern diplomacy: fostering "soft diplomacy" through education, arts, and economic innovation.
Here’s to fostering more cooperation between Manila and Lisbon, and to ensuring that every interaction with this Consulate adds value to the enduring friendship between our two countries.
Ramon C. Garcia Jr.
Honorary Consul of Portugal to Manila
