Philippine Consular Services in Houston, TX

@ phlinhouston . May 29

Consul General Gunther Sales joined San Antonio Days, hosted by the Global Engagement Office of the City of San Antonio — a productive two days of economic and cultural exchange, and an opportunity to connect with Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones and the leaders of Communities Aligning Baguio and San Antonio, Texas (CABSAT) and the San Antonio Filipino American Chamber of Commerce. Our community here helps exemplify the enduring bonds between the Philippines and the United States.

The Gawad Kalinga (GK) USA community came together for its 17th Annual GK Hope Ball, a Flores de Mayo fundraising celebration held at the Hyatt Regency Houston West. Hosted by GK Houston, the evening was a joyful celebration of GK’s enduring mission — honoring the communities uplifted, the students reached through SEED Philippines, and the partners and donors whose generosity has made it all possible.

Representing the Philippine Consulate General, Vice Consul Tanya Gaurano underscored Gawad Kalinga’s role in nation-building — that GK is more than a builder of homes, but a bearer of hope and a beacon of faith in what Filipinos can build for one another.

For over a decade, GK Houston has served as a steadfast bridge between the Filipino-American community in Texas and vulnerable communities in the Philippines — channeling the spirit of bayanihan into tangible change: safe homes, quality education through SEED Philippines, and restored dignity for the country’s most marginalized sectors.

A seven-member team from the Philippine Consulate General in Houston, led by Consul Von Ryan Pangwi, conducted a two-day consular outreach mission on 16-17 May 2026 in McAllen, Texas.

The team rendered Passport, Citizenship Retention and Reacquisition, Civil Registration, Notarization, and Overseas Voter Registration services to Filipino and Filipino-American clients — not only from the Rio Grande Valley, but also from as far as El Paso and Corpus Christi.

This marks the Consulate’s second consular outreach mission for 2026, part of its continuing commitment to bring frontline services closer to our kababayan across its six-state jurisdiction.

Maraming salamat po to the McAllen Filipino community, especially the Philippine American Chamber of Commerce - Texas, Rio Grande Valley Chapter (PACCTX-RGV), for the warm welcome!
