DFA re-schedules appointments in some offices due to QC Day

The Department of Foreign Affairs has announced new dates for passport appointments scheduled on Friday (August 19) because of Quezon City Day.

The agency cited Republic Act no. 6471, which declares August 19 a special non-working public holiday in Quezon City and the provinces of Quezon and Aurora to commemorate the birth anniversary of former President Manuel L. Quezon.

“DFA NCR-Central in Robinsons Galleria and DFA NCR-Northeast in Ali Mall wish to inform the public that applicants with appointments scheduled on 19 August 2016 would be accommodated only from August 20 to 27 at the same scheduled time,” DFA said in a statement. JE
