A consular team from the Philippine Embassy in Denmark headed by Ambassador Leo M. Herrera-Lim successfully conducted a consular outreach program from 06-07 November 2021 in Aalborg, Denmark.

Aalborg, the fourth largest Danish city, is located in the North Jutland region around 300 kilometers northeast of Copenhagen. The city’s position on the Limfjord makes it an important harbor and a largely industrial centre. It is known for its half-timbered mansions built by its affluent merchants.

There are forty-four (44) passport applications/ biometric data capture; seven (7) civil registry applications; eight (8) notarials and one (1) employment contract processed by the team, a total of sixty (60) services rendered during the two-day outreach. The consular outreach was held in the office of Jonassen Ventilation A/S, co-owned by a Danish entrepreneur married to a Filipino spouse. The consular team also had an opportunity for a “meet and greet” with members of the Filipino community across the North Jutland region who are mostly working in the food and service sectors including meat processing, bakeshop, catering, and facilities for cleaning and maintenance.

The members of the Filipino community in Aalborg led by Ms. Mary Rose Mabasa, Ms. Babeth Nadayao and her Danish spouse Klaus Pedersen, and Ms. Rowena Andersen assisted the consular team in the provision of venue and other logistics.

This is the first ever consular outreach in Aalborg, Denmark. END
