The Filipino Social Club-Dubai (FilSoC) recently celebrated the re-election of President Ericson Reyes and the appointment of its new officers and board members, all regulated under the supervision of the Community Authority (CDA) of Dubai.

The ambassador emphasized the importance of collaboration between the Filipino community in the UAE and the embassy. "It is my hope that your organization and the entire Filipino community in the UAE, in fruitful collaboration with the Embassy, shall continue to raise the stature of our people and our nation in this country which you have embraced as your second home," he noted.


Assuring them of his unwavering support, he added, "Please be assured of my support to all your worthy endeavors."
