The Philippine Consulate General (PCG) in Jeddah will permanently showcase artworks in its halls soon as acclaimed Philippine photographers in Saudi Arabia have donated to them more than a dozen framed photographs last November 7, 2019.
Kulay Philippine Photographers Community (KULAY), a group of multi-awarded and highly acclaimed Filipino photographers in Saudi, have given their best masterpieces to PCG Jeddah in its bid to highlight the positive relationship between the Consulate and Filipino artists in the Western Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
The photographs depict picturesque landscapes in both the Philippines and Saudi Arabia. They were part of the recently concluded “A Fusion of Cultures” photography exhibit held at the Consulate Hall on October 26 to 31 2019, in commemoration of the golden anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Saudi Arabia.

Consul General Ed Badajos thanked Kulay for their support to the Consulate and in its cultural activities.
The photographs will be displayed in the public areas of the Consulate to serve as inspiration and source of hope, especially to distressed OFWs.
