The Philippine Embassy in London joined one of the biggest Filipino community events in the United Kingdom, the 26th Barrio Fiesta in Lampton Park (left).
The event was organized by the Philippine Centre charity in partnership with ABS-CBN and other corporate sponsors.
The fiesta took place the weekend of 17 to 18 July and featured non-stop cultural and entertainment programs from both UK and Philippine-based performers, dozens of booths, and thousands of kababayans in attendance.
The Embassy was present (right) for the duration of the weekend to provide information and materials regarding principal consular services such as issuance of passports and visas, citizenship re-acquisition and retention requirements, and document authentication. Allied offices such as the Department of Tourism, Department of Trade and Industry, DOLE, OWWA, PAG-IBIG and SSS also promoted their services to the fiesta visitors.
The Philippine Centre is a UK-registered charity whose objectives include promoting Filipino culture and community spirit in the UK, providing facilities in the interest of social welfare, recreation and leisure, and providing resident and non-resident Filipinos with information on visiting, working or settling in the UK.
