| |
A contingent of Philippine Embassy officials, headed by Vice Consul Bertrand Theodor L. Santos, conducted an outreach program in Haifa on August 29, few days before the end of the registration period. The outreach program enabled OFWs in Haifa and neighboring areas to register for the 2010 elections. Many OFWs expressed difficulty in accessing the services of the Philippine Embassy in Tel-Aviv by reason of geographical distance and work schedule. More than 100 OFWs were able to register during the outreach. END
