Deadline for Presidential Awards Nominations Due this May

The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco wishes to recirculate its invitation last January 2024, on the call for nominees for the 2024 Presidential Awards for Filipino Individuals and Organizations Overseas (PAFIOO).

Original copies of the duly endorsed nominations and supporting documents must be submitted to the Philippine Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) in Manila not later than 30 May 2024 (Philippine Time). For more information, please visit the PAFIOO website at https://presidentialawards.cfo.gov.ph/.

All nominations shall be coursed through the Philippine embassy or consulate general that has jurisdiction over the place of residence, work or operations of the nominated individual or organization. The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco covers Alaska, Northern and Central California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Northern Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington State, and Wyoming.

Since all nominees are required to secure two documents from the Consulate, namely an Endorsement Form and a Certificate of No Derogatory Record, all prospective nominees in the above-mentioned U.S. states are requested to send the Consulate an email at cultural@pcgsanfrancisco.org expressing their intent to be a nominee and with soft copies of the other documentary requirements, no later than 10 May 2024 (Friday), 12 noon (Pacific Time).

In the interest of time, organizations and individuals that are unable to send an email to the Consulate on even date and time, will not be issued an Endorsement Form and a Certificate of No Derogatory Record from the Consulate. 

Thank you for your understanding.
