The consular mission in Adana is part of the Embassy’s continuous efforts to bring its services closer to Filipinos in Turkey based outside Ankara. With restrictions against COVID19 eased by the host government from June 2021, the mission in Adana is the third Embassy outreach in Turkey for the year, following those in Hatay and Antalya.  In the interest of public health and safety, both Embassy personnel and applicants all wore face masks and observed social distancing guidelines throughout the conduct of the mission.
