DOHA 01 June 2024 — A Filipino student from the Philippine School Doha placed second at a migration-themed inter-school painting competition organized by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Hamad bin Khalifa University, with support from Lulu, in commemoration of International Migrant Workers Day.

Participated in by students from various community schools in Qatar, the painting competition bore the theme #TogetherInQatar.


Grade 6 student Qarylle Claudet Dela Cruz’s work underscored the importance of “protecting labor rights and ensuring safe working environment for all workers including their families.”


In his message to the participants and guests during the awarding ceremony on 30 May 2024, Third Secretary and Vice Consul Jeffrey D. Batac said “visual art provides a unique opportunity to articulate the various experiences of migrants in Qatar. Through art, they become visible. Their voices are heard. They become part of a larger community where otherwise they would neither be seen nor heard.”


He added, “With robust schemes in place intended to promote the welfare and well-being of Filipino migrants wherever they may be, the Philippine Government commits to continue working with various partners, notably IOM, to ensure that migration into Qatar and elsewhere in the world is safe, orderly, and regular, with international human rights law as the overarching framework on which migration policies are based.”

DOHA 28 May 2024 — The Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in Doha joins the Filipino community in celebrating National Flag Day, an annual event held to commemorate the first unfurling of the Philippine Flag on Philippine soil during the Battle of Alapan in Imus, Cavite on 28 May 1898.

The declaration of 28 May of each year as National Flag Day was made through Proclamation No. 374 in 1965, which mandates the display of the National Flag on national holidays, or special holidays as the President may proclaim not only in all public buildings, official residences, public squares, and schools but whenever practicable, in all private buildings and homes, from sunrise to sunset.

In 1994, then President Fidel V. Ramos issued Executive Order No. 179, which mandates the display of the National Flag from 28 May to 12 June of every year, in all public buildings, government institutions and official residences.
