The Philippine Embassy in Pretoria conducted its fifth consular outreach mission for 2023 to Manzini in the Kingdom of Eswatini (Swaziland) on 24 June 2023. The team, composed of Consul Jim Minglana and Mr. Dennis Cruz, provided consular services such as passport renewal, birth and marriage registration, legalization of documents, and overseas voters registration for the 2025 national elections to Filipinos and their families in the area.
There are approximately 250 Filipinos in Eswatini, mostly working as managers and supervisors in the garments and textile industry. A number are spouses of locals and other foreign nationals who own factories and businesses in the Kingdom.
The Embassy expresses its appreciation to the Filipinos in Swaziland Association (FILSWAA) for helping ensure the success of the mission.
