“The volunteerism spirit of our FilCom leaders and groups in KSA enables the Consulate to better address the concerns of our kababayans in distress. We hope to have an open and continuous communication to make sure that our efforts are in sync with one another, all for the benefit of our OFWs,” he said.
After administering the oath taking of officers, Consul General Badajos also Badajos held a dialogue with the various Filcom leaders to discuss some issues and concerns of the Filipino community regarding consular services and other related matters.
OCL, founded on July 7, 2015, currently has more than 60 member Filipino organizations. Its goal is to unite other Filipino organizations and support each other’s activities, projects, and programs.
