Manolo Lopez is next Philippine ambassador to Japan
Quote:
MANILA, Philippines - Manuel "Manolo" Lopez will be the next Philippine ambassador to Japan replacing Domingo Siazon.

Official sources confirmed to abs-cbnNEWS.com that President Benigno Aquino would name Lopez, former head of the country's largest power distributor, Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), as the country's next ambassador to Japan.

Lopez is chairman and chief executive officer of Lopez Holdings Corp. (formerly Benpres Holdings Corp.), holding firm of Lopez family companies such as ABS-CBN, First Pacific Holdings Corp., Bayan Telecommunications Holdings Corp..

The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on Sunday that President Aquino has named Lopez ambassador to Japan, and Merceditas Arrastia-Tuason as ambassador to the Vatican.

"Lopez, one of five ambassadors that Mr. Aquino said he has chosen for various foreign missions, is a key political supporter of Mr. Aquino," the Inquirer said.

Tuason was a "close friend" of the late former President Cory Aquino, the PDI said.

Siazon was named ambassador to Japan in 1993 by President Fidel Ramos. He became foreign secretary in 1995 after the resignation of Roberto Romulo following the diplomatic row over the Flor Contemplacion case.

Former President Gloria Arroyo reappointed him to Tokyo after Joseph Estrada was ousted from office. Siazon served as Estrada's foreign affairs secretary.

OFWs protest against planned closure of Philippine embassies, consulates
Quote:
MANILA – A global alliance of overseas Filipino workers express alarm over plans of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to close 12 Philippine embassies and consulates abroad by the end of the year. Migrante International said OFWs are up in arms against the DFA’s plan and expressed their disappointment over the administration of President Benigno S. Aquino III.

In a statement, Migrante International chairman Garry Martinez said, “The DFA had announced plans to close down at least 12 Philippine embassies and consulates last year, during budget deliberations, as part of the Aquino administration’s so-called austerity measures. The plan is to complete the closures by the end of 2012. They, however, refused to disclose which embassies or consulates are in danger of closing down.”

Updated List as of October, 2011. New consulates or new location of consulates italicized.
Sweden now has a consulate in Makati. The Swedish Embassy closed down years back and now, The Swedish Embassy in Bangkok is now handling Philippine affairs.

Though I think it sucks since it is a major country and there are some Swedish investments in this country plus the number of Swedish tourists.

I don't think consulates and embassies should be closed down at all. There are so many Filipinos present all over the world and might need assistance when need arises.

With budgets tightening, it's a prudent idea for foreign governments to move their representative offices to a central location within a geographic region.

I was also thinking the same as with Kiretoce.

And at the same time, countries with embassies in The Philippines also handle those in neighboring countries or territories.

South Korean embassy here for example also handle affairs of Palau and Micronesia.

i am okay with the rest except Barcelona. There just too many Pinoys in Spain, and putting an honorary consul to just fill in for Barcelona may not solve the problem.
