DOHA 17 April 2019 – As a culminating activity for Women’s Month, the Philippine Embassy in Doha held a Forum on Maximizing Women Potential at St. Regis in Doha, Qatar on 30 March 2019.

The Forum focused on gender empowerment through lectures given by Embassy Welfare Officer Evelyn C. Laranang on financial management and by Rumaillah Hospital Executive Director of Nursing Mariam Nooh Al Mutawa on psychological wellness. 

Ambassador to Qatar Alan L. Timbayan informed the audience how the Philippines has been vigorous in its campaign to promote equal opportunities for women at the national and international levels.  

He cited the recent Global Gender Gap Report of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in December 2018 that saw the Philippines as one of the most gender equal countries in the world by placing eighth out of 149 countries surveyed.

“The Philippines believes in the role of its women citizens and how they greatly contribute to the morals of society and nation-building.  We honor them today through this Forum,” Ambassador Timbayan added.

The Forum was attended by Philippine Embassy in Qatar staff and officials, and the Philippine Overseas Labor Office, and members of the Filipino community in Qatar. END

DOHA 03 April 2019 — The Philippine Embassy in Doha had the pleasure of the company of top Philippine gymnasts Carlos Edriel Yulo and Reynald Capellan as they call on Ambassador to Qatar Alan L. Timbayan on 24 March 2019.

Messrs Yulo and Capellan were the Philippines’ bets to the 12th Artistic Gymnastics World Cup, which was held at Qatar’s Aspire Dome from 20 to 24 March 2019.

Ambassador Timbayan expressed gratitude to the athletes for representing the country in the prestigious international competition, which drew 188 gymnasts from 57 countries during the four-day period.

As a humble gesture of appreciation, the Ambassador awarded the two Filipino gymnasts with Certificates of Recognition for their exemplary performance and sportsmanship displayed during the competition and, most importantly, for bringing yet another pride and honor to the Philippines.

In particular, Ambassador Timbayan commended and congratulated Mr. Yulo for snapping the bronze medal for the Men’s Floor Exercises category. END

As a humble way of showing appreciation to women, the Embassy gave away tokens to the first 100 women-clients accommodated at its consular, assistance-to-nationals, and civil registry sections. The Embassy also made a photo booth for clients to take “selfies” or “groupies.” (Doha PE photos)

DOHA 12 March 2019 – The Philippine Embassy in Doha rendered special passport assistance to baby “Gabrielle” (not her real name) at Qatar’s Sidra Medical and Research Center on 4 March 2019.

The Embassy brought its passport data capturing machine to the medical facility that specializes in women and child healthcare. A team from the Embassy’s consular and assistance-to-nationals sections facilitated the capture of photo and passport data of baby Gabrielle.

Baby Gabrielle could not be brought by her parents to the Embassy because she has been under incubation since her birth in December 2018 for having been prematurely born.

Qatar immigration policy requires that a newly born expatriate child should be able to acquire an appropriate visa within three months from birth to avoid hefty immigration fines that will be imposed by the day.

With the recent successful mobile consular service for baby Gabrielle, her parents will soon be able to regularize the child’s status in Qatar without having to pay any immigration penalties. END
