Robinsons Malls opens five new DFA Temporary Off-site Passport Service in Central Luzon, Negros and Panay

As countries around the world ease restrictions and start opening up for international travel, Filipinos are also gearing up for their long-awaited travels and reunions, while Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) prepare for their journey back to work too. And though getting an appointment for passport renewals can be quite cumbersome, Robinsons Malls ensures that government services are made accessible and convenient to the public.

With the solid and longstanding partnership between Robinsons Malls and Department of Foreign Affairs, five (5) new Temporary Off-site Passport Services or TOPS sites open in strategic locations in Central Luzon, Negros and Panay – addressing the high demand of daily slots needed to address the backlog of passport issuance. These TOPS sites are located in Robinsons Place Malolos, Robinsons Angeles, Robinsons Starmills in San Fernando, Pampanga, Robinsons Place Bacolod, and Robinsons Place Iloilo – each targeting to accept (500) slots per day.

The launch of DFA TOPS at Robinsons Place Bacolod was led by Mr. Rex Albania, DFA GAD Focal Point Officer and Ms. Mary Jo San Marte, Mall Operations Manager.

To date, there are a total of ten (10) DFA TOPS sites including those inaugurated last year in Robinsons Magnolia, Robinsons Novaliches, Robinsons Galleria South, Robinsons Place Lipa and Robinsons Place Las Pinas.

To schedule a slot, applicants must first set an appointment through the DFA Online Appointment System at www.passport.gov.ph. Only those with fully accomplished printed appointments shall be accepted in the passport processing site. Watch out for more information and updates on T.O.P.S. sites at Robinsons Malls by visiting Robinsons Malls in Facebook and @robinsonsmallsofficial in Instagram.
