Embassy of Philippines in Washington

thank you
thank you for the kind and professional services I received from the embassy staff today .(5/9/14

Documents
It's my first time to go and work in Caymand Island...i just want to know if my documents still need to go through Philippine Embassy in Washington?

I am so embarass .
The behavior and reception of these employees are very unacceptable. I work at a customer service for 25 years. The Philippine Embassy's employees in Washington D.C. is the worst I've ever experience. Did they ever get trained how to talk nicely and a bit polite and considerate? It looks like they're taught how to be rude.Never seen such ugly attitude.

For OFWs with problems with Embassy Staffs
VP BINAY URGES OFWs TO FILE COMPLAINTS VS ABUSES; LAUNCHES PAG-IBIG OFW CENTER
June 19, 2013 at 3:12am

Vice President Jejomar C. Binay urged Filipino workers abroad to file complaints against embassy staff who have committed acts of abuse, negligence or illegal recruitment.


Binay, Presidential Adviser on overseas Filipino workers’ affairs (OFW), vowed his office will see to it that the reports will be given due action immediately.


“I encourage those who know of any abuse or mistreatment inflicted on our OFWs to report these cases to me so my office could extend them the needed assistance,”the Vice President said.


Binay was responding to allegations that three labor officials in Syria, Jordan and Kuwait sexually abused distressed female OFWs in exchange for free flights back to the Philippines.


“The Aquino administration cares for our OFWs and as OFW adviser, I will make sure that our government will keep them safe from any form abuse or exploitation,”he said.


“I will also make sure that those who take advantage of our OFWs will be punished to the fullest extent of the law,” he added.


In 2012, the Office of the Vice President acted on 1,325 requests for assistance from OFWs and their families.


These requests ranged from repatriation, assistance on salary and benefits claims,legal assistance for detained OFWs, and grievances against recruiters and agents.


Meanwhile, Binay led the launch of the Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG) OFW Center which is envisioned to be a one-stop shop for OFW-related services and transactions.


The center will serve as a venue for Pre-departure Orientation Seminars (PDOS) and Financial Literacy briefings, as well as the issuance of the Overseas Employment Certificates (OECs) for returning OFWs.


“Ang Pag-IBIG OFW Center ay ang aming regalo para sa ating mga kababayan na sinubukan na makipagsapalaran sa dayuhang bansa upang mabigyan ng magandang buhay ang kanilang pamilya at sa kalaunan ay malaki ang naitutulong sa pag-unlad ng ekonomiya ng ating bansa,” Binay said.


“The establishment of the Center aims to increase the level of appreciation among OFWs, and to institutionalize Pag-IBIG as an ‘OFW agency’ alongside OWWA and POEA,” he added.


According to Binay, Pag-IBIG has a current membership base of almost 2.7 million OFWs. Because of this, they saw the need to strengthen its operations by providing an integrated, aligned and seamless delivery of services and benefits to OFWs across all Pag-IBIG offices.


“Despite the regional distribution of OFWs and the decentralized functions of partner-government agencies, about 80 percent of them still conduct their deployment-related transactions at the National Capital Region,” Binay said.

shame on you Filipinos working in Philippine Embassy in Washington DC.
I read a lot of comments here about how bad this place is and you are all right, I think the government needs to replace all these people, I don't know why they should remain there. I went there once and had a bad experience too. If there is only another place to go I would not go there. You should be ashame of yourselves, and don't act like you are all better than us cause you're not. You don;t belong in US, you better go back to your country.
